Hi there! A little background on me: I received my BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) degree from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, a city steeped in history and culture that I enjoyed to the fullest. In addition to art courses, I studied history, sociology, literature, and creative writing.
My father was a professor of Journalism at West Virginia University, and my mother was also a teacher and an artist, having received her BS in Art Education from Moore. The apple, as they say,...

Conscientious, responsive, and skillful teacher
My son is applying to college programs which require him to submit a portfolio. He realized that while his computer design work was strong, he needed guidance with drawing, so we retained Ali to teach him. Even before the first lesson she was helpful, giving him specifics of art supplies he would need. Having the right tools made a big difference for him right away, and after only a few lessons there is an obvious and tremendous difference in the quality of his work thanks to Ali's guidance. She has high expectations, but is always encouraging and kind in guiding my son toward meeting them. Beyond her skill as a teacher, Ali is also just a great person to work with. She responds promptly to questions and other communications, and is very considerate, letting us know if she will be even a few minutes late for a lesson (though as a rule, she is very prompt, which I appreciate). I only wish I had thought to hire her earlier, but I'm grateful for the time my son has had to work with Ali. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants to learn to draw or refine their skills.

Helped make a plan and flexible.
On our first meeting, we were able to quickly determine how to approach improving my son's writing skills. Ali was very helpful in giving my son something to write about and in a subject for which he was interested. She wanted him to think about how to come up with a story and how to expand the story. She showed him how to develop characters and how they interact.

Very helpful
I'm not exactly sure what they went over, but I think she gave him some good studying and text reading tips. My son also said he's "going to try to take school more seriously from now on" so whatever she said - I love it!
