With 8 years of full-time classroom teaching under my belt, I have ample teaching experience and am thrilled to have the opportunity to focus on students individually. Even in full classrooms, I have always prioritized connecting with my students; yet, it has long been my dream to work one-on-one with students and tailor lessons to their individual needs. I pride myself most in my patience and friendliness as a teacher. I work hard to incorporate my students' interests into their lessons so they will get the most possible out of their learning experience and be able to connect with the curriculum.

I have taught grades 5-12, but I look forward to teaching students of all ages, from little ones to adults. I absolutely love analyzing and writing about history and politics and love to share that passion with my students. I am fluent in Spanish and have extensive experience working with non-native English speakers.

Reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I have a flexible schedule and am here when you need me. Let me know how I can help you!

Very knowledgeable and patient

Very Very good. My son loved the class and working with Alison. She helped him prepare for the test and next day he was able to score full marks on his English Quiz. Thank you very much for all the support and help.

Outstanding

Allison was exceptional, respectful, patient, and very supportive of my daughter. She took time to explain to her and to support her in any sense. Will definitely want to keep working with her.
