About Olivia
I really strive to create a two way relationship with all my students in the beginning of the school year, meaning that I want them to get to know me as much as I get to know them. I feel that this creates mutual trust and comfort and ultimately a better learning environment. I really try to gauge my lessons and activities to students' interests and learning styles. That being said..
A little bit about myself, personally:
I am bilingual in Polish (as it was my first language) and I speak/read/write a bit in Spanish. I love, love, love animals (especially dogs) and am passionate about cooking and gardening. When I am not teaching, you can probably find me spending time with my family & friends, cooking, or doing something active outdoors. I love children's literature so picking a favorite book is too difficult. Some of my favorites include "The Name Jar," "Elmer," and anything written by Patricia Polacco. My favorite chapter books include "Junie B. Jones," "The City of Ember," "Hunger Games" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."

Hi, my name is Olivia. I am currently an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in an Elementary School in a north shore School District. I will be starting my third year teaching at the beginning of this school year. I absolutely LOVE my job and am rewarded everyday by the amazing kids in our school.
I graduated from Loyola University Chicago summa cum laude in 2014, with a BS in Elementary Education, a minor in Teaching ESL, and concentrations in teaching Mathematics and Science.
I decided to go back to school to become more knowledgable in teaching reading. Currently I am finishing up my Masters Degree in Reading Specialist and I recently just become a certified Reading Specialist. This means that I am now certified to help kiddos who may be struggling in reading and writing, whether that be in 1-on-1 support, a small group setting, or through the coaching of their classroom teacher.
Although I work with kids whose first language is not English, my experience presenting content in various modalities helps me be an effective teacher to those who are struggling or those who need to be pushed/challenged.
