Allison has worked with my daughter on school applications, writing and reading comprehension for a few months. My daughter has learned and grown in her writing thanks to Allison’s help and expertise. Allison is passionate about her work and is able to make lessons interesting and interactive, connecting with students, and offering a positive and engaging learning environment. She was knowledgeable about the application requirements and offered strategies that gave my daughter the confidence needed in writing her exams under a time crunch. My daughter will benefit from her sessions with Allison for years to come.

A huge thank you to you for helping get Ann Ballard prepared to take the SAT for the first time. You gave her confidence and taught her lots of tips and tricks to help her earn a great (first time) score. We are super proud of her and thankful for your tutoring and guidance. She will be taking it again and we will be reaching out to do more tutoring with you to get her prepared. I have no actual dates on the calendar but I will be in touch. Thank you!!
