About Olivia
Hello! My name is Olivia, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of California, Irvine. For the last five years, I have been tutoring students on how to write well, do appropriate research, and develop good study skills. I provide tutoring for AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP European History, and AP Language and Composition, and assist students with editing their college application essays from pre-planning through final proofreading. I also specialize in working with English as a Second Language (ESL) learners – specifically, students moving from China to the United States who require assistance in adjusting to American culture, language, and academic standards.
My tutoring is student-focused, practical, and encouraging. I promote effective, perceptive writing and clear historical thinking; I provide study routines and techniques that promote healthy long-term study habits; I provide multiple organizational systems and tools to teach you how to manage your time; and I educate you on how to study effectively and efficiently; I offer in-person and online tutoring (via Zoom, VooV, and Wyzant) and essay editing services with flexible hours (including evenings and weekends). Tutoring services offered include: 1) AP class tutoring and AP Exam prep with timed essay practice (multiple-choice, DBQ, FRQ with rubric-based feedback); 2) high school level writing (thesis development, structure, voice); 3) college admissions essays editing (focused revisions of common app, supplemental & personal statement essays); and 4) English language tutoring and general support for ESL students.
Through open communication and regular feedback, I adapt my teaching to suit each student's needs. I focus on building confidence through fostering a love for learning. I keep my students motivated by connecting challenging topics to their interests. Communication is essential for understanding student needs and building trust. Seeing a student's confidence grow is the most rewarding aspect of tutoring. Seeing a student's confidence grow is the most rewarding aspect of tutoring. I'm comfortable tutoring online or at your home and am CPR- and First Aid-trained. I would love to help your student succeed!
Our initial meeting will involve doing a short assessment (practice question, essay, or homework review), establishing goals for both the short and long term, and creating an individualized plan. If you feel like I can help you on your educational path, send me a message when you are ready to start!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
