    About Allison B.

    5.0
    (2)
    Hello! I have been tutoring for 12 years, and I have a Master's degree in Astronomy & Astrophysics. I love teaching, and I make sure to incorporate real-life examples into my math and science problems to help people develop an appreciation of the subjects. When tutoring French, I add elements of culture that I have learned from my multiple trips to France (including an entire summer in Paris!) to make the language come alive. Book a lesson with me and see how I can help you achieve today! Crochet lessons: I have been crocheting for 17 years, and I love to get creative with it! I make garments, accessories, and homewares both from patterns and from my own imagination - I am an indie designer (I design under the name Clair de Lune Fiber Art). Whether you've never held a crochet hook before or just want to learn some new skills to add to your repertoire, I would love to help you pursue crochet as a hobby (or even a business!).
