ABOUT US
ABOUT ME
We are a team of teachers, tutors, and friends based out of Toronto, Canada, lead by Learning with Liv founder and passionate tutor Olivia (Liv) Shea. We conduct one-on-one tutoring and mentorship to students from grades 2 to 12, and select university level courses in all areas of academia - from homework support, to time management, to test prep.
​
Our philosophy is that all students can succeed by believing in themselves and leaning on their inner strengths. We enjoy nothing more than to share our students' joy when they bring home marks they are truly proud of!
​
We work in close collaboration with parents/guardians and to offer quality feedback along the way, believing that a co-operative team effort yields the best results.

STUDENT-SPECIFIC
STRATEGY
Whether it's French, math, science, reading, writing or somewhere in between, we design student-specific activities and learning materials based on where they are and where they want to go. Sessions are always centered around each student's individual goals, needs and learning style.
HOMEWORK SUPPORT
A nightly homework routine, binder and bag organization, agenda use, critical reading skills, accurate note taking and thorough work completion are all essential skills to student success. We help students get into the rhythm of daily homework completion and the habit of putting their best work forward.
EXAM PREP
Exams can be very stressful for students. We teach students how to tackle exam anxiety by building their critical reading and writing skills, planning ahead and how to stay calm under pressure. We share our secrets to creating concise study notes, answering multiple choice questions confidently, and spotting likely test questions.
SUMMER TUTORING
We take learning to a whole new level with fun in the summer sun. We keep students' brains active during the off-months by reviewing last year's material, prepping for the upcoming year or working on improving specific areas of struggle, all in an enjoyable and calm environment.
