Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Olivia!
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University. I maintained a 4.0 while pursuing my B.S.E and graduated summa cum laude. I have a great love for mathematics and enjoy assisting others to find their passion for it as well. My background in electrical engineering has given me extensive experience in a large variety of mathematics courses.
Personal statement:
Whether I'm teaching a class of first-graders or a teenage student in their final years of high school, I strive to make learning accessible, enjoyable, and fun. I've led young students in math classes as dinosaur hunters, princesses, and wizards, complete with costumes. For students at more advanced levels, I break down even the toughest subjects to ensure comprehension (although costumes are not required).
Subjects I teach:
I have worked with a variety of mathematics subjects. These include elementary school mathematics, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, and finite mathematics.
Ages I work with:
I have experience with all age groups. I have taught kindergarteners and first-graders while in costume and college students working through their mathematics requirements.
My teaching style:
I'm an energetic and engaged teacher. I've taught students with varying comprehension and confidence levels, from eager kindergartners to college students struggling to get through their required classes. No matter where they're starting, I work with students to identify areas that need to be mastered while building confidence along the way. I've worked with children with learning disabilities, autistic children, advanced and gifted children, college students, adult learners, and more. For me, the most rewarding part of being a teacher is experiencing the moment when a concept “clicks” for a student.
Hobbies and interests:
* Traveling—I’ve visited ten different countries, and my favorite so far is Italy
* Cooking and baking—my Thanksgiving gravy and bruschetta recipes are family legends
* Horseback riding—I have two Arabian horses named Aria and Adonis
Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested in any alternative times or dates for any of my classes. I hope to see your child in my classroom soon!
