I'm Alison! I completed my California multiple subject teaching credential during the pandemic, achieving a 4.0 GPA - straight A’s. Compared to the college classes I took years ago to complete my Bachelor's Degree of Philosophy at UCLA, these teaching courses were far more rigorous and demanding!
For the past four years, I've been a teacher (in elementary and high school), and a tutor for countless students - both online and in-person. Some students have come to me for weekly tutoring to learn "missing" math concepts or reading skills spanning years of education. Other students have come to me already performing well, at or above their grade level, in math or reading and writing, just to get that "extra edge" in their education, while others are somewhere in between and simply need the occasional extra support when they get stuck on a particular new skill or concept. I've tutored students with great success in both math and English Language Arts - from the math basics of making 10, to division, fractions, percentages, rounding, measurement, word problems, time, money, mental math, algebra, and more, as well as skills in phonics, reading fluency, comprehension, and writing. I have consistently received high praise in my teaching and tutoring in both math and English Language Arts, from my principals, my peers, and other observing administrators, from my students' parents, and from my students themselves.
The most rewarding part of what I do is seeing a student grasp a new concept or skill we've been working on - their positive reaction and sense of accomplishment along with their increased motivation to tackle the next challenge with a greater sense of perseverance when it gets difficult. I love equipping students with the skills they need to achieve their goals; I'm passionate about making a positive impact in others' lives and I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
