The Ollivier Foundation

Where Education Transforms Lives

Mission Statement


To empower international students with the academic, linguistic, and cultural tools needed to gain admission to—and succeed at—top U.S. universities. We specialize in teaching Western rhetorical and academic writing styles through one-on-one coaching, writing workshops, and conversation tables that foster real-world language practice and cross-cultural exchange. By blending critical thinking, clear communication, and creative expression, we help students thrive not just in the admissions process, but in the university experience itself.
