About Alison

Hi there!
I'm Alison, an established tutor and proofreader with a master's degree in training & development. Experience as a graduate research assistant polished both my writing for publication and my proofreading skills. Over several years since then, I have tutored students for college level writing up to doctorate level, specializing in APA format. This includes many dissertations, the majority of which have been for Ed D.
My first experience of tutoring or coaching was helping other girls with their math homework at grade school level! They just wanted the correct answers, but I had to help them to understand my favorite subject! The "aha!" moment in a student is what sets me alight. Born and educated in England, I have always been an avid reader and I now tutor in math, grammar, and reading comprehension for K-12 alongside my work with higher education.
Over a decade in the USA and a master’s degree here has helped me to acclimate to American English, and the minor differences in grammar. After presenting at conferences as a graduate research assistant, several years with Toastmasters has further honed my public speaking, speech evaluation skills, coaching and mentoring abilities.
I can often be available at short notice, so it's worth contacting me to share your problem.

Public Speaking

For over 5 years, I have been a member of a local Toastmasters club, progressing through the Toastmasters International Pathways education, and I currently act as VP Membership. I have also mentored other members, attended many conferences and webinars, and enhanced my evaluation skills by judging speech competitions. My background in training allows me to facilitate the development of others in writing, refining, and presenting speeches.

APA expert and stellar editor

I had the good fortune of working with Alison as my dissertation editor. She responded promptly and set my expectations for her availability and timing. Her client communication is top-notch. Alison was meticulous in identifying APA errors. Not only did she correct the errors, but she also educated me on some of the ambiguous and nuanced aspects of APA style. In addition, Alison suggested word choice and sentence structure changes that elevated my work. If you seek an exceptional editing professional to enhance your work, contact Alison. You'll be glad you did. I give Alison five stars and my highest recommendation. :)

Knowledgable and detailed oriented

Allison is excellent and has knowledge and patience that I lack. I appreciate her on my academic journey and wouldn’t know what to do if I did not have her assistance. She is also direct and doesn't waste my time.

Exceptional Learning Experience with Alison

I recently had the pleasure of enrolling in writing support offered by Alison, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I signed up for writing support, I was impressed by the user-friendly interface and the vast array of writing support available. Alison truly caters to diverse learning needs. What sets Alison apart, however, is not just the breadth of Her offerings but the quality of instruction. The writing support material was comprehensive, well-structured, and presented in a way that was easy to understand, even for complex topics. Alison was knowledgeable, engaging, and responsive, providing valuable insights and support throughout the tutoring process. Thanks to Alison, I have acquired valuable skills that have already proven beneficial in my professional life. Whether you're looking to advance your career or simply expand your knowledge, I wholeheartedly recommend Alison for writing support.

APA7 knowledge and attention to detail

Alison has a comprehensive knowledge of APA 7, which assisted me in finalizing the written portion of my dissertation. Her attention to detail brought polish to the finalized document. Alison was flexible, timely, and communicative. She was recommended by several EdD students and chairpeople.

Thorough, fantastic editor!

Alison is a fantastic editor. She is incredibly well-versed in APA 7, has fantastic attention to detail, and catches every little typo in your writing. You won’t regret hiring Alison!

Delilah, 2 lessons with Alison

Quick and thorough

Alison has taught me so much about APA 7. She not only makes excellent edits, but then also provides explanations in the comments. She has restructured my sentences to increase clarity while at the same time keeping my voice. I definitely recommend her 1000%

Meet and Greet

First meeting with Alison was wonderful as I am an older doctoral student making the change from MLA to APA format. She is kind, detailed and most of all knowledgeable and "hears" you.
