    About Allison L.

    (2)
    Hello! I'm Allison, and I'm a former teacher and current PhD candidate, passionate about teaching and research. My bachelor's degree is in English and Education from Grand Valley State University, while my master's is in English cultural studies from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. I also have years of experience as a classroom teacher and tutor for students from around the world. Are you dealing with Shakespeare, Fitzgerald, or pesky participles? Preparing for a test? Trying to explain the effects of the New Deal or the influence of single-point perspective in the Renaissance? Are essays keeping you up at night? I can offer support in a vareity of subject or skills. If you're looking for help in a subject area, I also look for ways that I can support you in not only the subject, but the skills which can help you be successful in keeping yourself organized, on track, and achieving your goals! If you have any questions, or if you'd like to book a lesson, send me a message and let's get started. Please tell me a bit about yourself, what your concerns are, and, most importantly, your goals! These can be your goals for our sessions together, or the things you're thinking about for the future too.
