Experienced Teacher

Allison P.

Hi! I’m Allison, an academic support specialist, behavior therapist, and educator with extensive experience helping students build the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.

I hold multiple graduate degrees in education and behavior analysis, including a Master’s degree in Learning and Behavior Disorders and an Educational Specialist degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I currently work in a school setting supporting high school students with academic organization, study strategies, and subject specific tutoring. I also provide behavior therapy and coaching that helps learners develop independence, confidence, and strong problem solving skills.

My tutoring focuses not only on what students are learning but also on how they learn. Many students struggle because they have never been taught effective systems for organizing information, studying efficiently, or breaking complex tasks into manageable steps. I specialize in helping students develop these skills so they can approach school with more confidence and less stress.

I regularly support students with study skills, executive functioning, organization, time management, reading comprehension, writing strategies, and math foundations. My approach is structured, supportive, and practical. I help students learn clear strategies they can apply immediately so they can become more independent learners.

I work well with students who feel overwhelmed by schoolwork, struggle with organization or procrastination, have ADHD or learning differences, or want to improve their study habits and academic performance.

Sessions are focused, encouraging, and tailored to each learner’s needs. My goal is to help students build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to succeed in school and in life.
