“Alison first began working with my daughter in the fall of her senior year, when it came to light that she had fallen very far behind in school. She was enrolled in the IB diploma program and had several major research papers to complete. Her predicted IB score was low and she feared few post-secondary opportunities. 

Alison and my daughter worked weekly (sometimes more) — both on planning the week ahead and on her papers, guiding her from outline to finished drafts. In just a few weeks of meeting, my daughter began to get caught up in her work and her teachers noted an improvement in the timeliness of her submissions. While the intensity of the workload did not slow down, my daughter was noticeably less stressed. The support and encouragement that Alison provided was working! 

Alison’s kind, calm approach made it easy for my daughter to attend their meetings and having Alison to be accountable to took away our (her parents) need to micromanage her at home. 

Alison kept us abreast of our daughter’s successes and progress. And, the greatest result of all was that our daughter achieved a higher IB score than was predicted, while feeling more in control of her studies and her life in general. 

I have and will continue to highly recommend Alison to any parent whose child has fallen behind or needs writing support.”
