In a National Science Olympic competition, the selection is made based on the ability of students to solve questions, so that the teacher as olympic tutors need to apply correct problemsolving skills as the main key to solving olympic questions. This research was a qualitative descriptive study that aimed to determine the condition of an object through a case study for olympic tutors of the National Science Olympics for elementary school level in Barru Regency, South Sulawesi. The data collection methods were tests and interview. This study showed the olympic tutors problem-solving skill of the National Science Olympic for elementary school level in Barru Regency at the moderate category which revolved around the score 25 - 49. Based on the result of the analysis, in terms of the types and stages of problem-solving, most of the olympic tutors of the National Science Olympic for elementary school level did not understand systematic problem solving and still needed accuracy in choosing the most appropriate equations to use when solving problems.
