Hi, I'm Olivia! I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry with a minor in Nanotechnology and have worked in research labs in both industry and academia, inside and outside of the U.S. I'm very passionate about and well-versed in both science and English, as many of my research positions have also involved high-level publication writing. However, I wouldn't have had access to so many of these opportunities without my ACT score, which opened the door to over $140,000 in scholarship money from my university...
Hi, I'm Olivia! I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry with a minor in Nanotechnology and have worked in research labs in both industry and academia, inside and outside of the U.S. I'm very passionate about and well-versed in both science and English, as many of my research positions have also involved high-level publication writing. However, I wouldn't have had access to so many of these opportunities without my ACT score, which opened the door to over $140,000 in scholarship money from my university and many times that amount cumulatively across the other schools I applied to. This opened my eyes to just how impactful ACT scores can be, which is why I now care so much about helping students improve their scores in an efficient, realistic way.
On the ACT, I earned a 34 overall, with a 33 in Science and perfect scores of 36 in both English and Reading. I reached these scores using strategies and study periods that made scoring high feel simple and repeatable rather than overwhelming. During my undergraduate degree, I consistently helped other students with a wide range of STEM subjects, from general chemistry, biology, physics, and calculus to more advanced courses such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. I also specialized in advanced writing and English, and I regularly proofread essays, giving writing advice to friends simply because I enjoyed it.
With my degree and background, I understand how challenging it can be to juggle large amounts of information. This has shaped how I tutor. I focus on breaking information down into systems that are easy to remember and apply, rather than overloading students with individual facts. Currently, I tutor science for younger students in one-on-one and small-group settings on the Space Coast in Florida, and am excited to help the next generation of students open the doors to their future college experiences. Feel free to reach out for any additional information or to schedule a session. I look forward to working with you!
