When we met Alison two semesters ago, our daughter was struggling with essay-writing and she was pretty stressed out. Her high school is very demanding and has very high standards for essays. Alison, who is an English teacher at another local high school, was able to teach our daughter, step by step, the fundamentals of writing, how to write effectively, elegantly and clearly. Alison is very patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. She is also very flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Under Alison's guidance, our daughter improved quickly and earned A's in most of her essays. Her interest in English became much stronger because of her. We are very grateful and we would highly recommend Alison for any tutoring needed for English.

Alison did an excellent job to help my son improve his writing. Alison brought in her teaching experience and my son is well prepared for his high school English writing.

Alison is very patient and pleasant to work with. She really knows her stuff and how to work with teens. Imagine your child's favorite teacher coming to your home to help your child. That is what it is like to have Alison in your home. Â I really can't say enough good things about her. Our family adores her.
