Allison

I have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. For the past 9 years, I have been teaching and tutoring children from age 3 to adults. I taught ESL learners in 1st to 6th grade from various Latin American countries. I taught ESL learners in 1st and 2nd grade (after school and on weekends in person in a classroom setting) different history trivia for a Competition, and I led them to win the Championship two consecutive years in a row! I even traveled to Andalusia, Spain in 2021 to be a teacher in the Ministry of Education Language and Cultural Assistants Program for ESL learners ages 5 to 13 in Natural and Social Sciences, and Social Studies. I really listen to my students to determine their learning style. I am empathetic and above all I like to have fun and help learners build their confidence! Once I recognize the child's learning style, I'll cater to them, so they retain the information. I will still work to introduce other learning styles, but I will cater to the one that allows them to best retain the information.

In my spare time, I love to read! I love to learn new things, and non-fiction and history are my favorite books to read. I also love playing sports - all sports and board games. I love strategy and problem-solving games that really stretch my mind.
