About Alison


Bio

I have been teaching math at the high school level for the past 20 years. I teach at a vocational school so I must be able to adapt to all learning styles. I feel it is critical to understand why something is and not just how to go through the motions to get the correct answer. It is my belief that once students understand why they are doing something, they will be able to think in a more critical manner for future problems having similar characteristics.

I have been teaching math at the high school level for the past 20 years. I teach at a vocational school so I must be able to adapt to all learning styles. I feel it is critical to understand why something is and not just how to go through the motions to get the correct answer. It is my belief that once students understand why they are doing something, they will be able to think in a more critical manner for future problems having similar characteristics.

I hold both a master's and a bachelor's degree in economics. In addition to math, I have also taught economics both at the high school and community college level.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught Algebra I at the honors and standard levels for almost 15 years. It is one of my favorite subjects to teach and tutor. It is easy to see the logic for why we do something in a particular way making it much easier to teach understanding over memorization.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have been teaching Algebra 2 for nearly 20years. I believe it is important to know why something is being done, not just memorizing formulas.
Geometry

Geometry

I am a veteran teacher who works with all skill levels and learning styles. Geometry requires a logical reasoning that needs to be cultivated and practiced. Understanding is critical.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have taught precalculus in the classroom and am currently tutoring 2 other students in the same subject. In addition to tutoring many in the past.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Alison helped my daughter with pre-calculus grade 11 after an extended medical leave had her falling behind. We worked weekly to get my daughter caught up and are continuing with the tutoring throughout the term to keep her on point.

Maureen, 6 lessons with Alison

She is really nice.

She makes you do the work, instead of just giving you the answers. She helps you learn the material. She was nice, professional, courteous and on time. Very good tutor.
