Olivia

Certified Tutor

I am a Stanford student who loves both learning and teaching. I have taught English at an elementary school in China and have provided writing and SAT tutoring over Skype for a non-profit. I have also volunteered extensively at a local non-profit that promotes literacy at schools in at-risk areas and have also read aloud to young students. Because of these experiences, I am a strong believer in the importance of education in changing lives and reshaping communities.

I have loved to read and write from a young age and have enjoyed publishing pieces from research papers to poetry. I tutor students in Math, Social Science and English because these are the areas I am most passionate about.

I love seeing my students discover, grow, and succeed. In my tutoring, I strive to get to know each student's individual learning style and then to adapt my lesson plans to the student's needs. I am determined to help each student unlock their potential and find their love of learning through a positive learning environment that is challenging but also supportive. I have also had a lot of experience with the SAT's, AP exams, and the college process, and I look forward to sharing my tips and strategies with my students.

In my free time, I love to run, play tennis, read, write, and explore San Diego with my dogs. I can't wait to meet you!
