Hobbies
Hello! I am Allison, and I have 20 years experience teaching and tutoring English (writing, reading, grammar & mechanics). I am also a published writer of fiction and nonfiction. I have worked with students from middle school to college, from ages 8 to 80. I am available to help students achieve their goals, master their standardized tests, write essays, conduct research and get through that tough novel! I also have experience working with students who have ADD, Asperger's, traumatic brain injury, dyslexia and auditory processing disorders. I have my own transportation, and I am also available to tutor via distance learning.
