About Olivia
I read English Language & Literature at King’s College London and the University of Sydney, graduating in 2016 with a First Class Honours Degree.
I have been a tutor for over four years and have also worked for over six years in high schools, primary schools and independent educational environments such as Kumon.
I also work as a freelance editor and have recently contributed to the environmental book The Climate City.
I tutor clients in areas ranging from:
- A Level - English Literature and Language
- GCSE – English Literature and Language
- Pre-GCSE (KS1,2 and 3) – English (GCSE skills prep)
- Undergraduate Degree Level – English
- 11+ (English)
- 13+ English/Scholarship Exam preparation
- Adult learning
- Creative Writing (all ages, for those seeking to improve, confidence building)
- Drama
My personal passion is to write and devise theatre and I recently graduated from Ecole Philippe Gaulier in Paris after a two-year acting course. This has proved to be a lesson in risk taking, doing your best, and bravery. This is also something I can now offer to my students. The ability to dare to do your best even if it is hard and even if you might full short of your goal. It is better to try.
Note on bookings: bookings need to made minimum 24 hours before the lesson. As is this site policy, cancellations within 24 hours cannot be refunded (unless cancellation is made for exceptional circumstances).

After so many years working across a number of specifications:
A-Level and GCSE (AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge International)
11+/13+ (GL, CEM, Kent Test, Dulwich College, Merchant Taylor’s, Sevenoaks, Caterham and Colfe’s)
I have a tried and tested method of preparing students for these exams whether it be helping them understand essay technique, close reading of texts, improving creative writing and comprehension, techniques, preparing revision material or learning how to give a speech.
I believe everyone learns differently and it is my job as a tutor to find out what this is and to specifically tailor my lessons to the student at hand and give them a better chance at achieving those top grades and helping them find the confidence to do so.
This year 11+ students of mine have gained places at: Sevenoaks, Caterham and Queen Elizabeth's School and my GCSE and A-Level students have achieved top (9-7) grades.
Overall, I am dedicated to building a safe and enjoyable learning environment that fosters enthusiasm for the subject at hand. I also believe that learning should be as enjoyable as possible and that it is always possible to muster up a little interest in any subject even with the most reluctant students.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Olivia.
Perfect! Olivia had been helping me prepare for my English GCSE and I can honestly say it has been the biggest help ever. Every lesson with her was always so engaging that I quickly began to look forward to our meetings because of how expertly she managed to re-ignite my love for English and learning that had been so crushed at school. When taking my English GCSE I felt I had been the best prepared by Olivia as I could have been, and all while thoroughly enjoying each lesson and discussion we had. I am so grateful Olivia was able to be my tutor she was amazing in every way and I wish her the best.
Perfect! Olivia has been great so far - she is really patient and is excellent at getting my son to focus. Having previously had a difficult experience with another tutor, my son has regained his confidence and is now enjoying English again and is thriving. She actively takes on board feedback and adapts the lesson according to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. Her passion for English is infectious and she uses my son's interest to teach vocabulary and to ease his understanding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Olivia.

Olivia is an amazing Biology tutor. My daughter has gone from not understanding the subject and falling behind in class to getting top marks in a very short period of time. The lessons are very clear and Olivia is always punctual, extremely polite and clear in her explanations.
I strongly recommend Olivia to anyone who is looking for the perfect Biology tutor!Olivia is a wonderful and dedicated tutor. She knows her subject extremely well and is also a very talented writer. She is able to work on tight deadlines with a very good focus.
I highly recommend her.I am an A-Level English Literature Student and I have been working with Olivia for the past few months. She has helped me immensely in structuring my work, a skill that is transferable across all my subjects. Furthermore, Olivia creates a warm and inviting atmosphere due to her excellent communication and encouragement. This was very important to me when searching for a tutor because I believe compassion and respect are vital in any student-teacher relationship. Olivia is always willing to review any essays I need help on, encouraging me to work independently beyond our sessions to achieve the best results. She clearly cares about her students. I cannot recommend her enough!
I started English Literature and History lessons with Olivia for my final year of A-levels and I do not regret hiring her one bit.
She is organised and plans my lessons brilliantly, including any extra resources that will be helpful for my learning.
She is extremely friendly and I am not afraid to approach her with any questions whatsoever. I always look forward to my lessons with her. She teaches with enthusiasm for the subject and points out my strengths as well as helps me with my weaknesses.
I feel more excited to learn and more prepared for my exams with her than I did during my time at school.Olivia Hackland is an amazing teacher who makes things easy to understand while pushing you to gain the skills required to reach the higher grade boundaries. The skills she taught me were transferable to all my other subjects and even now while I am studying for my degree. Without Liv, I would not have gotten the grades I did in English Lit or my other two A-Level subjects. Truly a blessing for my grades.
Miss Olivia is an incredible Tutor, her dedication to each student is priceless.
When she teaches and expands your understanding of a subject, unlike a lot of tutored lessons,where you feel lost, or unable to voice your concerns and dislikes, Miss Olivia is always open to discussion and your own analysis under each field of work.
You are growing together and engaging with questions and answers that fuel your want to learn and shows your strongest abilities.
Every subject Miss Olivia has taught me has become a favorite of mine! A few examples are Philosophy, Literature and Language.
Thanks to her cementing the groundwork I needed for A level I can confidently say I am strong (both mentally and literally) in all subjects taught by her and am really excited to take my exams.
Miss Olivia is very well rounded in her academia, she uses the foundation of your own knowledge to support the groundwork of your development.
While each lesson outlines the importance of your syllabus and continually drums the things you must work on into your head, the environment remains warm and fun. Lessons are very interactive while also being more progressive each day.
There is never a dull moment in one of Miss Olivia's classes! It detaches you from any outside stress when you zone into the work mode. You leave class feeling confident in all aspects of your curriculum.
I one hundred percent recommend Miss Olivia for any student in need of a fantastic teacher.
She's proof that you can learn and have fun in all areas!Olivia did a great job tutoring my daughter. She is very knowledgeable about the subject. She’s also very encouraging and knows when to direct and when to support independence.My daughter really looked forward to the lessons. Her A Level result was excellent and she’s off to her first choice university soon, I highly recommend Olivia.

Olivia worked for me at Kumon for three years during her time at university. She proved to be a hardworking and committed tutor and successfully worked with children aged 5 and up in both English and Maths. She was especially successful in teaching English and is obviously passionate about the subject. She developed a clear teaching manner and a friendly and encouraging attitude that complemented the Kumon method perfectly. She is as adaptable as she is focused and successfully worked with a wide variety of students over the three years. I highly recommend her as a tutor.
Olivia worked as an assistant at my drama club. She worked with up to 15 young people at KS2, after school, on practical drama projects. Olivia has also worked as my assistant on a summer project, 'You are Here' where she facilitated drama and storytelling with 8 - 12 year-olds. In both roles, she showed herself to be completely reliable, trustworthy, resourceful, and a very engaging and likeable teacher and guide. I have no hesitation in recommending her for this role.

I met Olivia as she came to support a very vulnerable student in the High school where I work.
The qualities of the person selected was imperative to the role.
Although her main focus was to work with one student, she quite quickly became very popular with others.
The Year 11 student Olivia worked with, had become disengaged with her education, had previously school refused and struggled with low confidence and self esteem.
Through Olivia's caring attitude, hard work and determination, she worked tirelessly with the student, firstly to build up trust which then enabled her to work on a 1-1 basis, which at times was very challenging. However despite being met with numerous barriers, Olivia managed to re-engage the student and prepare her fantastically for her GCSE examinations.
Thanks to Olivia the student managed to sit all GCSE's which was brilliant! If it hadn't been for Olivia's support the student would most probably have struggled to sit any and wouldn't be where she is today.
Olivia is such a lovely person, she is very caring, intelligent and honest, her integrity is beyond question. She has such patience and is sympathetic to other's needs. Overall she has a fantastic sense of humour and can relate to students of all ages and their needs.
She wholeheartedly 'wants to make a difference' to the lives of others and that's what makes her a peoples person.
Olivia has vast previous amazing experience of living in other countries/experiences and has some fantastic hobbies. She is ambitious and determined in all she does.View more recommendations
