"I'm Olivia! I've spent the last two years working in a Montessori program for teens with learning differences/special needs while I finished my Bachelor's Degree in History from Indiana University; I'll start my Master's in History in January of 2026. Most days, I work one-on-one with teens who need a little extra support in English, writing, reading/literature, U.S. History, Government/Civics, or Economics, but I also sometimes work with small groups of 3-5 teens at a time.

Previously, I worked as an acquisition's editor for a small publishing house. My daily interactions were with award-winning fiction and nonfiction authors in addition to authors still on their drafting journey. As a published author and traveling motivational speaker myself, I've realized that my career has always led me to some form of teaching or educational support, from teaching a new skill and empowering learners of all ages as they begin their journey (whatever that may be!) to encouraging them to finish strong as they meet their goals.

Over the last year, I have been working as a traveling tutor across southern Indiana and Kentucky. I enjoy building rapport and relationships with the learners I work with and supporting them along their educational journey. I believe we all have strengths and things that challenge us, and with every teen I work with, my #1 priority is always to help them realize their own capabilities. I am easy to reach and respond quickly, so feel free to contact me anytime to see if my experience and skills are what you/your teen(s) are looking for along the journey!" less...
