  • Very broadly speaking, I'd say 'come over here' suggests a context in which the two people are on different sides of something.
  • eg you are on one side of the classroom and I am on the other side.

I would say that "over" emphasizes the trajectory and the distance to be traversed.
Come (from there by moving) over (to) here.

Hi,

How do I report: "Come over here" . Is it correct to say: He told me to come over there.
