Olivia Pryor-Private Tutor

My teaching philosophy centers on individualized instruction. Rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor sessions to meet your student’s learning style and needs. I respond to learning challenges with flexibility, creativity, and positivity. To achieve best results, I engage your student in the learning process, break complex concepts into simpler parts, and target instruction to build specific skills.
I’m a Washington State Certified educator with over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I’ve taught in both alternative and traditional schools, and have tutored a wide range of learners—from homeless youth to gifted students at top performing schools. I earned my B.A. in English Literature and Washington State Teaching Certificate for Secondary Education from Seattle Pacific University in 2009. Currently I'm pursuing a Masters in Cli ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.
Since completing my formal degree training I have worked in several capacities in the field of education. I taught inner-city young adults in Washington, D.C. in all GED subjects. I worked as a Guidance Counselor and Education Services Officer for the Army for eight years. In the past two years I have tutored under the auspices of Tacoma Community College in all GED subjects. Prior to my work with TCC I tutored in the Kid Reach program for three years.

As a current graduate student, pursuing my master degree in chemistry I am driven to achieve a higher level of understanding during my education. During my undergraduate studies at Western Washington University, I was privileged enough to take part in research and published my work in a major scientific journal. My education and research experience had given me a strong background in math, physics, chemistry, and English. During my undergraduate studies I tutored students in math, physics, and chemistry.
Being a father myself, I am an avid believer in providing our children with a strong education. I believe all children have the ability to succeed at any subject; they just need the appropriate teaching method presented to them for their unique learning style.

More About This Tutor...

As an educator, I strive to discern the individual needs of each student and tailor my approach accordingly. I use my communication skills and extensive experience to explain concepts in such a way that each student can understand. Building confidence is my strong suit, and kids sense that I really care about them. I'm patient, compassionate and have a sense of humor. I firmly believe that every student can learn, and I have a track record to prove that.
I began teaching remedial math and English skills to college age students/returning Vietnam vets in Colorado in the 1970's. Since that time, I have tutored kids of all ages in those same skills. Knowing first hand how difficult it is to "re-learn" basic skills, I have a great passion to help kids learn correctly at the beginning. I worked as a free-lance tutor and volunteer ESL instructor from 1995 to 2005 From 2005 to 20 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every child is capable of learning, and once they see how a subject is relevant to their life and goals, they usually want to learn all they can about it. I try to make academic subjects relevant by introducing real-life applications. Once a student is interested in learning, we can move on to study strategies tailored to each child's individual learning style, and develop a plan whereby the student can progress on his or her own time. At that point, tutoring sessions can focus on working through difficult problems and identifying areas where I can provide extra help and expertise.
As a child, I wasn't very interested in science, math, or the outdoors. It took an inspiring high school teacher who challenged me with interesting projects to show me how fascinating biology and ecology were. I strive to be that kind of teacher- not just to show my students how to get t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a confident, approachable, and well-mannered, I am very comfortable working with students and their parents one-on-one in their homes or other private settings. I enjoy communicating with parents and caregivers to involve them in support of their students’ learning. I take special joy in encouraging bright students who have the skills to succeed, but need help realizing and organizing those skills. While I have unabashedly high standards, nothing pleases me more than to reward good effort. Most importantly, I have a passion for knowledge and delight in sharing my enthusiasm with other students.
From early grade school through high school and college, classmates recognized my scholastic aptitude and frequently consulted me for informal tutoring, while teachers recruited me for more formal assignments tutoring remedial classmates. In high school and college, I specifically tut ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well as editing my peers and my own writing. I have been fortunate to tutor several students in my area in mathematics, English, arts and sciences. I have also lead a team in providing a reading mentorship in Port Elizabeth, South Africa while re-organizing their library. My experience in written and oral storytelling has also enabled me to work in an afterschool program teaching young students how to organize and perform their own stories.
I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the past I have worked with students both one and one and within a group setting, and feel comfortable adapting to any particular group or individual's needs. I believe effective teachers must compose a delicate balance of meticulous discipline and natural concern. The best teachers and professors of my academic career were not only intelligent, but carried a contagious passion for what they studied. I would like to think my teaching style is the same.
In college I volunteer tutored at the Crawford Country READ center to a pupil struggling with reading comprehension, writing and mathematics. In addition to this, during my senior year at Allegheny College I was a teaching assistant for a Research Design and Statistics I and II course. Furthermore, I am currently living in Pittsburgh as a private tutor. As a recent college graduate I can understand the difficulties some students m ... read more

I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout much of college. I mostly tutored first year students (subjects included Calculus, Physics: Mechanics and Electromagnetism, Engineering: modeling, simulation, analysis, and Partial Differential Equations), and did some grading as well. I really enjoy tutoring, both one-on-one and with small groups. As a high school student I took Spanish through AP Spanish Language (and scored a 5 on the AP exam), and took a college level Spanish grammar course beyond that. I also attended an ext ... read more
