Testimonials

Dr. Oliver was phenomenal. The small group setting allowed my son to follow along and ask questions without the pressure of a large class. Dr. Oliver was thorough and accommodating. My son improved his SAT math score 90 points after attending Dr. Oliver's bootcamp. I highly recommend her services to all students taking the SAT/ACT. I have referred Dr. Oliver to several rising Juniors and will personally use her again with my rising Sophomore.

Thank you so much for helping my daughter fill some gaps in her Algebra knowledge that became apparent at the beginning of high school, after Covid. Working with you gave her a process to tackle those “gap” topics and restored her confidence that she could learn others. Thus, you equipped her not only to improve her ACT score by three points, but also to do well in subsequent math classes, including IB and college calculus. Thanks for your transformative impact!

My test scores were really hurting me in the beginning of the year when it came down to what colleges I should apply to/which ones I would get into. It was really discouraging which is when I realized that I needed to see a tutor and use some help to grow! Dr. Oliver’s bootcamp was short and simple. Sunday nights I would go to her house and we would spend an hour going over possible problems, how to solve them, and then given homework. With everything being digital now, she also taught us how to use DESMOS (graphing calculator embedded in the new digital SAT) on the SAT. All of these things combined raised my test 250 points (originally at a 1050, and now submitted with a 1300). She was quick, to the point, and was extremely valuable in my college applications. I seriously don’t know where I would be going now if it wasn’t for her help.

Beth Oliver helped me score an almost perfect score on the math section of the SAT. Her bootcamp not only helped me learn the material but also test taking strategies. If I had to take the SAT again I would start here. Studying with Mrs. Oliver was the best use of my time.

Sarah Anne

​

I could not recommend Dr. Oliver’s tutoring enough! My SAT math score went up about 100 points and that’s all because of her help. Her boot camps specifically helped me in understanding the test. Hearing my peers questions along with getting my own questions answered really helped me learn how exactly to improve and what to look for when taking the test. I think it was the best math test prep option for me without a doubt!

Beth’s tutoring helped me through times of difficulty in understanding diverse topics, especially in ACT and SAT contexts. My ACT score improved 5 points and my SAT 80 points with her support. I highly recommend her services as she is patient, understanding, and helpful.

After going to several sessions to help with my ACT math score, I understood geometry concepts better, knew strategies for choosing the right answers, and my math score improved 3 points.

​

I took the ACT in June of 2021 without having studied at all, and took it again in September 2021 after having used Dr. Oliver consistently for math tutoring. My math score went up 3 points, and I ended up reaching my target score of a 34! I could not recommend Dr. Oliver enough - she knows how to meet students where they are at in order to prepare them to preform to their highest potential.

Dr. Beth Oliver’s SAT Math bootcamp was incredibly helpful for improving my score for the math section of the SAT. For me, one of the biggest issues I had when testing was not being able to remember certain math steps that I had learned years prior. To solve this dilemma, Dr. Oliver’s bootcamp focused on these seemingly simple subjects, such as right triangles in geometry and the basics of algebra. Additionally, her class allowed students to raise specific questions from the practice tests we did, allowing them to be explained with much more detail and clarity. Overall, this bootcamp was one of the most helpful attempts at improving my SAT math score. After taking the class only twice, my score improved by 100 points.

This SAT bootcamp improved my score 40 points! Dr. Oliver provided everyone in the camp with general advice as to how to most effectively take the test, as well as specific advice on how to do certain problems that we struggled with. She is super patient and a complete pleasure to learn from. The bootcamp is a really quick way to boost your score and I’d totally recommend it to anyone thinking about it!

Tutoring with Dr. Oliver greatly improved my SAT math score through her knowledge in all areas of mathematics and her guidance with tips in speeding up problem solving time. The resources to practice and equations to focus on that she provided were essential in allowing me to practice problems on my own and memorize necessary information to solve equations in less time and with more accuracy. I would highly recommend!

I took SAT Math bootcamp from Dr. Oliver as a junior at AC Flora high school. I knew my SAT scores needed improvement and that's exactly what I got between testing tips, practice exams and problems, and classroom setting math help. Since a lot of the math on the SAT ranged over all years of high school I could not have done it without the refresh and tutoring from bootcamp! I was confident applying to schools and got into the University I wanted to go to while up against other competitive students. I took the SAT in July 2021 and again in May 2022 and improved 90 points.  I would highly recommend, Dr. Oliver to improve math scores!

Ellen McCutchen

 

The tutoring from Dr. Oliver was very helpful in making Drew more comfortable and confident with the test format and types of questions. She taught strategies for answering the specific types of questions on the tests. The extra help she provided with the practice tests was crucial to preparing him to do his best on the test. He was able to raise his score on the ACT by 3 points.

Dr. Oliver was an awesome math tutor for our son. His SAT score went up dramatically after his tutoring sessions with her.  Not only did she teach and explain math concepts, but also strategies, reasoning skills, how to use your time effectively and wisely, and how to diagnose and answer questions that seem too difficult.  Cannot recommend this tutor enough!  She is wonderful!  My son said to add: "She gives homework and even though you don’t feel like doing extra homework, DO IT!! it helps so much!!"

Bootcamp SAT and ACT helped me tremendously with my math scores! It helped me to stay on track and actually practice the skills I needed for the tests. While I only took the ACT once, I would not have scored as high as I did if I weren’t prepared for what to expect. I took the SAT multiple times and had my math score reach over 700! Dr. Oliver helped me learn the tips and tricks to taking the SAT and ACT math sections. Every class I took helped me to also become less stressed when it came to the test because I knew exactly what to expect and how to do the problems! I scored a 710 as my highest score for the SAT from a 590 the year before which helped me achieve my goal and send in my scores and now I will be starting at Clemson in the fall!

Dr. Oliver was a great encourager to Ellen! The SAT bootcamp was challenging and prepared Ellen for the more difficult questions. Dr. Oliver is a great cheerleader for all students and she creates a positive yet rigorous learning environment! Highly recommend!

About me...

I LOVE helping students of all ages understand mathematics. My goals are to make hard things easy and for students to gain confidence that they CAN do the math! I see myself as a coach - rooting for my students to reach their goals - and not letting mathematics stand in their way.

​

After receiving a BS in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech in 1993, I began work in technical sales.  I found that I really enjoyed HELPING people more than selling to people.  I went on to receive a PhD in secondary mathematics education from the University of South Carolina.  I have taught and tutored mathematics for over 20 years.  My specialties are SAT/ACT/GRE/ASVAB prep and any level of mathematics from early elementary to all levels of algebra, geometry, and precalculus.  I also specialize in college courses that are algebra based and entry level college statistics. I tutor 1-on-1, small groups, and large groups - IN-PERSON in Columbia, SC or VIRTUAL ANYWHERE.
