Each day is a new day to learn and acquire new skills or build on those that you choose to focus on. Reading and writing are part of my daily routine for improving upon my knowledge while feeding my curiosity of all there is to know. Create drawings, watercolor paintings, acrylic paintings, printmaking, photography, sculpture, any and all art forms! Drawing is where it all began with me when I was in junior high. Printmaking was my major within my Art Studio degree from California State Uni...

Allison had a great session with our 9-year-old. She's very professional and they dove right into learning and sketching. She gave him notes on his own work. We definitely recommend.

I have Allison for art and she is great! She's very patient and she helps me get a great result. I've only been taking lessons from her for a little while but I can already see so much improvement in my art! She's also very nice and easy to talk to. She plans our lessons around what I want to work on and helps me know what to adjust in my drawings. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their art.

Fundamentals of drawing. We went over various drawing techniques and what I might be the most interested in trying out. Looking forward to more practice down the line.

I highly recommend Allison as a tutor. Allison provided professional and outstanding tutoring. My objective was to pass the PLT ? Praxis test and Allison proved to be ready for any challenge. She showed up at our sessions prepared with great ideas, research, patience, kindnes. She also provided phenomenal support. She provided me with great foundations including specific teachings on how to take the test. Without her support I wouldn't have been prepared (knowing what I know now), to pass a test that is absolutely required for my career as a teacher. I will be requesting Allison again for future tutoring services!

- Tatiana F. from Greenbelt, MD
Allison is patient and open to my needs as a beginner. She was helpful with assisting me with the different ideas of what kind of art I wanted to pursue being that I was not clear of what I wanted. She also recommended art supplies and sent links. Very happy with my progress thus far. I recommend her highly.

Allison used to be a former high school art teacher and it shows! She is very methodical about breaking down what we're doing into simple steps. She will also give great tips on simple techniques like the way to hold your pencil or how to shade. When I started with her I asked if she could help me improve my portrait drawings and a few weeks down I feel like I have learned and improved a lot. She is also a very kind and understanding person and easy to talk to. I had some troubles with my schedule due to things happening at work and she was able to accommodate the changes. I would definitely recommend her to anyone trying to improve their drawing!

My son's reading. He is doing very well. He has been looking forward to every lesson. I think he will benefit very much from her experience. Can't wait to see all of the progress in the coming weeks

Allison has been a lifesaver through the entire online school process. She has made the process so much more tolerable for my son. I actually feel like he has done better than when he was actually in school. My son would tend to feel stressed. He has been so relaxed and more confident. Our son is hopefully moving into his new school for 9th grade, with full time, in person learning, in the fall. We plan on still having Allison work with our son as she has been so helpful. Teaching him how to keep organized. They work together almost everyday. We used to work in person but because of Covid, we had to work online. I was worried that wouldn't work well, that my son needed someone in person, but Allison made the online tutoring work like a charm. She has a great personality and being an educator in the current school system, she is up to speed with how the curriculum works and all the in's and out's to the schools online homework assignments, submitting assignments, etc. She is knowledgeable in all subjects. A+++++++++

Great first lesson. Patient and knowledgeable and kept it fun! I told her what skills I wanted to improve upon and she had a great activity for me. Looking forward to working with her again.
- Mavis E. from Scottsdale, AZ
She was very helpful. She made sure we understood everything. She broke it down into segments. She made sure my daughter knew how to work the program . This was our first time with her but it was good.
- Sheila J. from New York, NY
Allison offered some suggestions for my art student that can be implemented immediately to improve, and organized some topics for future lessons to fill in the knowledge gaps.
- Stephanie F. from Spring, TX
Allison has been helping me improve my drawing ability and she has been fantastic! She listens to what I am interested in and has great ideas on how to develop my skills so I can get there! I really enjoy my sessions with her. She is fun and flexible AND she knows so much - I will be working with her for a long time. We start on-time and work the full hour. It is always productive and fun.

Allison is extremely passionate, positive, and well-prepared for each session. She is very talented and has examples and tools to develop drawings. The student is 9 years old and expressed an interest in learning all phases of drawing. Allison began with some elements of the face and shading with different pencils. Although these were great places to start for some students, our student was not very motivated to practice these on his own. His mom has decided to suspend further sessions while she reevaluates what he wants to obtain from drawing sessions. Unfortunately, it was also difficult to continue the tutoring sessions at 6 pm in the evening, which was the time Allison was available, and still keep to a weeknight schedule for dinner and bed. Our student was winding down and not as focused at that time. That said, we would recommend Allison for future tutoring.
