Hello, and welcome! My name is Allison, and I’m so glad you're here. I’ve always loved helping students discover their capabilities, and that passion has shaped both my education and career. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing that "light bulb" moment when a concept clicks and a student realizes, "I can do this!" If you're looking for a tutor who believes learning should build confidence, curiosity, and understanding, I’d love the opportunity to work with you.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Allison, and I’m so glad you're here. I’ve always loved helping students discover their capabilities, and that passion has shaped both my education and career. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing that "light bulb" moment when a concept clicks and a student realizes, "I can do this!" If you're looking for a tutor who believes learning should build confidence, curiosity, and understanding, I’d love the opportunity to work with you.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Neuroscience from Randolph-Macon College, with minors in Biology and Psychology. I currently work full-time as a fourth-grade Teaching Assistant at a specialized STEM public school academy, supporting students across all core subjects aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs). My principal selected me as the only TA to serve in a tutoring support role, providing one-on-one and small-group instruction to third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students in math and English.
My passion for education began long before my current role. I’ve worked with children since I was 16 through tutoring, teaching, caregiving, behavioral support, and STEM camps focused on engineering and 3D printing. These experiences allow me to support students with varied learning needs, including ADHD and autism. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is discovering what helps each student connect with a concept. Sometimes it takes presenting an idea from a different perspective for everything to click.
My goal is to help your child learn, not just memorize. True learning comes from understanding why something works, asking questions, and building confidence to solve problems independently. I especially enjoy helping elementary students build strong foundations in math, science, and STEM while also welcoming opportunities to tutor older students in biology, neuroscience, and related courses.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I’d be honored to be part of your child’s learning journey and help them grow.
