Welcome!
Letter from the President
Thank you for visiting our website. Hopefully, you will discover the solution you are seeking. Since inception in 2011 we have been providing instructional support to Long Island School Districts. Students on home instruction often require specialization and accommodation that is difficult to achieve utilizing in-house staff. The nuance that is lost while out of the classroom is best overcome with face-to-face, one-on-one instruction. Our vast network of academic specialists have been critically vetted to enable us to provide the best match in almost every circumstance. We individually tailor a holistic approach and devise an education strategy for your student’s success.
There are many other agencies out there, the difference is that when difficulties arise, our office is staffed 8AM – 4PM to overcome challenges in real time. We are fully insured and certified by the New York State Commissioner of Education. Drop in and see us! Our administrators strive to keep the lines of communication clear to insure transparency and accountability. At LITS our motto is quibus discipuli primum venire “Where Students Come First.” This is no mere slogan; it is the bar I set for my professionals. If questions remain do not hesitate, call for prompt attention to all your concerns regarding tutoring.
"Meet the Owner
Dr. A. Olsen – President / Owner
Dr Alesia Olsen is the third of four children born in suburban Long Island to a businessman father and mother who was an administrator at Cleary’s School for the Deaf. She learned sign language before she could speak. Although she struggled academically in high school, she was drawn to education and began working with the deaf in 1985. While pursuing her undergraduate degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education, she developed a penchant for turning can’t into can do.
Dr. Olsen’s life experiences informed her academic pursuits as she attained her Masters in Teaching American Sign Language. She has instructed hundreds of students at Columbia University, Hofstra University, LI University, St. Joseph’s College and many Long Island high schools. Dr Olsen is a grandmother of two, a published author, a motivational presenter at national conferences and a respected colleague in the field of education.
Alesia Olsen came to be tutoring the same way as most teachers, for the extra cash. While writing her doctoral thesis the plight of students on Homebound Instruction crystallized the philosophy underpinning Long Island Tutorial Services. Almost a decade ago she partnered up to make the dream of providing high quality, student centered home instruction a reality. Today Long Island Tutorial Services, Inc, is one of the premiere tutoring agencies in the region, servicing over 20 districts and more than 300 students annually. In August of 2018, Dr. Olsen became the President of Long Island Tutorial Services. She is looking forward to improving and expanding the services her company provides."
