Reading Tutor Olivia
About
I have taught over 4,000 students online and I love to incorporate games and activities into our lessons. I use virtual classrooms or gameboards to help increase engagement and excitement. The perk of 1:1 tutoring is that I can create a more personable experience by added my students' interests to the lessons.
I love the growth I get to see that can't be measured with an assessment. I've been able to see shy and insecure students become more excited about learning and reading. It's such an important lesson to learn at a young age: trying your best, even if it's hard.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
[Tutoring is available online.] New students receive an online free reading assessment and will play a “get to know you” game. Next, the assessment results and future goals will be discussed with the parent/guardian. After that, we work together toward those goals. Students will have monthly access to a digital library. And, parents/guardians will receive quarterly progress reports but can ask for feedback at any time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently started working with an EL student who was very shy and didn't want to speak. After weeks of encouragement, she began to open up and has made great progress!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Don't worry about doing things perfectly, just try your best.
