HI - I'M OLIVIA
FOUNDER OF GRADE YOURSELF UP
I created this learning community because I’m passionate about helping children grow, unlocking their full potential, and building confidence—all while keeping learning fun. Alongside my team of expert tutors, we bring this vision to life in every lesson.
Our Story
Grade Yourself Up was founded in 2017 by Olivia, driven by a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves to feel confident and capable in their learning. Watching students struggle or lose confidence sparked her passion to make a difference—not just by teaching, but by helping children truly understand, enjoy, and take pride in their education.
​
What began as Olivia’s personal mission has grown into a thriving learning community, supported by a team of dedicated tutors who share her vision. Together, they help children unlock their potential, overcome challenges, and develop a love of learning that lasts far beyond the classroom.
Confidence fuels learning​
Why? Because confident learners take risks, ask questions, and embrace new challenges.
Smart strategies matter more than hard work alone
Yes - effort is important, but children achieve their best results when they’re taught how to learn effectively, not just by working harder.
Learning should be fun ​
Education is most powerful when it excites curiosity and inspires exploration. After all, who wants to sit in a boring maths lesson for an hour?
