Victoria is the author of #1 Book on Amazon, “Ask More, Learn More, Creating a Culture of Curiosity” and a certified Neuroscience Coach. Her 55 years in education allowed her to develop programs that guided her students to become independent creative thinkers who easily managed their time, materials, and devices. Her students knew the power of their questions, and how to get their needs met through effective communication. She offered her students opportunties to experiment so they could discover how they learned best and what they needed to do to retain previously learned material.
How Victoria Became 'The Homework Doc'
"One of my students was observing that I was helping some of his classmates go from "D's" and "F's" to "A's and B's" and he said, "You are like a "Homework Doctor."
Though the strategies shared with my students eased the stress related to homework, it redefined the student’s role. They were put in the driver's seat with strategies that empowered them to become self-advocates and excellent time managers.
Their parents also learned the strategies they needed to shift from being a homework policeman to a homework strategy coach.

Her innovative strategies offer children life skills that allow them to embrace their mistakes, see them as opportunities for positive change, and how to tap into their unique abilities to find creative solutions.
Her strategies help students to overcome their fear of asking questions and help them learn how to ask effective questions.
Developed a program that employed questions as a tool for gaining full engagement, focusing students, improving understanding, increasing retention, while taking the guesswork out of creating differentiation for each group of children.

"Unlike the others, your book offered me reasons why my child was struggling and the most effective methods to turn it around that I had ever tried. I didn’t think it would work and boy was I surprised. It not only worked but it was immediate"

"At first I was frustrated and I never thought I could figure it out. I remembered some of the tricks for figuring out a problem, and then I could do it. I don’t think I will get as frustrated next time."

"I recently had the good fortune of attending a seminar presented by the Homework Doc, Victoria Olivadoti. She began her presentation with the question, "How many of you think homework is a bonding experience for parents and children?" After a good laugh from the audience of Fountain Valley teachers, she proceeded to tell us the importance of homework in the education of children and the role parents, teachers, and students must play in the process."
