Hi! I'm Olivia Justice, and I'm passionate about helping students grow in confidence and skill especially when it comes to reading, writing, and critical thinking. I recently earned my bachelor's degree in English Education, and I've spent the last few years teaching and tutoring students in everything from phonics to writing to ACT prep. I also offer support for standardized tests like the ACT, SAT, and PRAXIS (which I've passed myself and have successfully helped others prepare for). My goal is to create a space where you feel empowered to ask questions, take risks, and grow as a learner.
