Victoria’s goals are to guide students to become independent creative thinkers who easily manage their time, materials, and devices. She wants them to be the question askers, and students who get their needs met through effective  communication.

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.

"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."
B. Friedman

"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."
