About Alison

Experience: 3 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I taught for 2.5 years in the community college setting while my children were young, between employment in IT and R & D. I have advanced coursework in applied mathematics, logic, physics, operating systems, coding, AI, HTML, XML, DBA, with a refresher course from my 3 kids recently in middle and high school math taught "the new way". I have extensive experience with advanced coursework concurrent with learning disabilities, as well as all levels of achievement. I speak "IEP". :) I currently tutor 3 middle school girls in varying levels of mathematics. I can provide references. Although I can tutor all levels of mathematics from elementary school to college, I find I have a soft spot for middle/high school girls - this is often when they can come to believe that they just aren't good at math, which in many cases, is not true. I'm living proof, as are my son and daughter. 2 of my 3 children had learning disabilities specific to math, so I do have extensive experience. Policy for cancellations: 24 hours is required for cancellations, and reschedules on the same day are per my availability. After the first cancellation without adequate notice, I will charge the normal rate for one hour.

Alison has been with our family for almost a year. She picks the kids up from school every day and brings them to our house to work on homework and tutoring. She has been instrumental in helping us identify some learning challenges/neurodiversity with one of our two kids. In addition, she helped us find testing resourcing for full diagnosis and has incorporated the results of the testing into her daily tutoring. Our kids are both a bit stubborn and she is very patient with them and meets them where they are on that day. She is far better at “reading” my kids than I am and as a result she makes a lot more progress than I do with helping them. We are extremely fortunate to have had the benefit of her services and plan to continue using Alison as our kids transition into high school.
