Hello! I’m Allison, a Harvard graduate with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Sociology, and I’m passionate about helping students feel confident and capable in their academic work. I specialize in tutoring pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry, as well as English subjects such as essay writing and reading comprehension. I also support students preparing for the SAT and ACT, where I focus on both content mastery and test-taking strategies that reduce anxiety and improve performance. My academic background allows me to explain quantitative concepts clearly while also helping students develop strong analytical and writing skills.
My tutoring approach is patient, structured, and highly personalized. I start by understanding how each student learns best and where they feel stuck, then break down material into manageable, intuitive steps. I emphasize practice, asking questions, and building problem-solving habits so students don’t just memorize answers but truly understand the material. For writing and reading, I help students organize their thoughts, strengthen arguments, and gain confidence in expressing ideas clearly. Whether we’re working through homework, preparing for an exam, or refining an essay, my goal is always to make learning feel less overwhelming and more empowering.
I aim to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process. If you’re looking for a tutor who is reliable, thoughtful, and invested in your progress, I’d love to work with you and help you reach your goals.
