Hello, my name is Allison and I wanted to share a little information about myself. I was born and raised in Camp Hill, PA. I attended the Camp Hill School District. I furthered my education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Indiana, PA. Here I studied Mathematics in Secondary Education receiving my Bachelor's Degree in 2009. During my four years at college, I spent my free time working as a secretary for our on campus Counseling Office along with tutoring students in Mathematics and Chemistry through the Learning Enhancement Center. I also worked with students a few nights a week at a local Salvation Army - Ark of Learning Center. Here I was given the opportunity to work with students of all ages in all subject from the surrounding school districts. I was able to help students not only in completing their work for class but also providing them with a safe/quiet place to learn because many of these students came from unfortunate household environments.

After graduating college, I began my teaching career at Bermudian Springs School District in Adams County. I taught Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry to grades 9-12. A year into teaching, I began furthering my education even more by taking graduate courses at Penn State Harrisburg. Here I studied Teaching and Curriculum with a Minor in Mathematics receiving my Master's Degree in 2014. I taught for seven years (July 2009 - July 2016) before giving up my career to become a stay-at-home mom.

When teaching, I feel that my style was a lot more hands-on involvement from my students along with individual work. I liked having the students help me complete problems and then once I felt that they would succeed on their own I allowed for them to work individually. This way they could test their knowledge, skills, and understanding of the material.

So if you are struggling with math topics, don't hesitate to contact me for help because once you fall behind in math it's very hard to catch up.

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

While I mostly teach Algebra 2, I have begun to teach a few Algebra 1 classes. A lot of focus is being put on this subject due to the states implementation of the Keystone Exams a few years ago. Therefore, certain topics must be discussed to prepare students for the test.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I have been teaching algebra II since 2009. It takes many topics from Algebra 1 with more rigor.
Geometry,

Geometry

I have been teaching geometry since 2013.
Prealgebra,

Prealgebra

While I have never taught a pre-algebra course, I am qualified to tutor in the subject matter because this is one of the first courses where students will begin to be introduced to Algebra topics. Since I teach upper levels of Algebra, I know what topics in pre-algebra that students need to grasp/understand in order to be successful in the upper levels of Algebra.
SAT Math,

SAT Math

SAT math includes a lot of Algebra 2 and Geometry, which are the two subjects that I teach. Many students need practice with the types of questions the SAT's ask along with techniques to solve the problems given on the SAT's. I make sure to provide both for students.

All reviews assistance communicates approachable helped me prepare able to teach

Came prepared and used the right approach

Allison made my daughter work with her instead of just explaining things. It was an effective way to teach. Allison made sure that my daughter was involved during the lesson. It made the lesson less boring.

1st time meet!

After meeting with Ms. Allison for the first time, the next morning my daughter told me she felt good with math, if this is what I get from a one day meet can't see what happens in a month :-) thank you.

"Great Tutor Who Goes the Extra Mile"

Allison really cares about her students. Not only did she meet with our son twice a week, but she always made herself available for extra sessions when we needed her. She returns messages promptly and was flexible. Her grasp of advanced mathematics is tremendous, and she really communicates it in an easy-to-understand way. We were lucky to find Allison!

Very knowledgeable and patient!

Allison is helping our daughter prepare for her SAT's. I was completely impressed with how knowledgeable and patient she was. After just one meeting, our daughter feels more confident.

1st session of helping prepare for SAT math went very well. Allison is very patient and knowledgeable, and we will continue with weekly sessions.

Christina, 6 lessons with Allison

Great tutor who is very professional

Allison is a wonderful, professional and patient tutor. She really helped prepare my daughter to get up to speed with math. She is also very reliable and timely. You won't be disappointed.

Phiroza, 26 lessons with Allison

Very helpful

My daughter has met with Allison a couple of times for assistance on important assignments such as a summer math packet and prior to mid-term exams. Allison has always been able to fit her into her schedule and provided a great deal of assistance while giving my daughter the confidence to move forward on her own. Allison is very approachable and makes my daughter feel very comfortable. We would definitely continue to use her in the future.

Laurie, 2 lessons with Allison

Allison was able to teach my son a concept in 20 minutes that he's been struggling with in class for the past few weeks.
