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," so I thought that would be a good byline. I changed my title to 'doc' so people wouldn't misunderstand and think that I was a doctor. It says a lot about what I do." 25 years after choosing the "Homework Doc" title, the strategies I taught became even more important when students' ended up at home with on-line learning.

"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"

"Ms. Olivadoti has helped hundreds of students achieve success with her methods. Students and parents know that the system works. Students learn that effort and persistance not only brings academic success, it brings confidence and a "can do" attitude - an invaluable skill that is theirs forever."

"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."
