About Cynthia

My name is Cynthia Alliston, and I've been working as a private ELA (English language Arts) tutor for about 4 years. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree with Advanced English coursework in all ELA subjects including reading, grammar, and writing skills.

I love tutoring; it is my passion! I thoroughly enjoy helping children and my adult clients work towards achieving their full potential. My tutoring style is personable, engaging, collaborative, and fun. I actively communicate with each child's parents throughout the tutoring process. Sharing children's ELA test scores, areas for improvement, and their progress is important towards achieving each child's learning goals.

My clients range in age from 5-15, and adult clients, too. I specialize in all ELA subjects, including spelling, grammar, reading and comprehension, writing, and cursive writing skills.

In my prior Global Human Resources and Organizational Development career, most of my positions included training and educating executives, managers, and employees on various HR/OD initiatives, policies, practices, and programs. After retiring from my Corporate Global HR/OD career in October 2015, I thought extensively about the type of part-time work that I would like to do. I have always enjoyed being with and communicating with children and teens. Given the adverse educational impacts resulting from the COVID pandemic, it was clear that there was a major need for professional tutors to work 1:1 with children of all ages and grade levels. I have have strong and highly proficient ELA (English Language Arts) skills, and was subsequently drawn to ELA tutoring.

Since June 2021, I have been actively tutoring children and teens between the ages of 4-18 years old. Through my tutoring efforts, I have been able to improve my clients' reading and ELA test scores significantly. I employ a high level of praise, recognition, and reinforcement techniques to reward positive outcomes. My personal tutoring style is engaging, fun, energetic, and collaborative. I also firmly believe in keeping parents well informed regarding their child's tutoring progress, and will make adjustments as needed to accommodate the evolving needs of my students / clients.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Business Management, a prior professional leadership career in Global Human Resources and Organizational Development, and professional tutoring experience in English, Reading, Grammar, Language, Vocabulary and Writing Skills

I communicate directly with parents to determine their child's learning needs and goals, and develop a plan to achieve them; We work together weekly or bi-weekly as mutually agreed upon to achieve their child's learning objectives and goals We can adjust our tutoring plan as needed to accommodate the child's evolving learning needs.

Currently, I am working with children and teens between the ages of 4-18; from pre-school through 12th grades. I have also worked with college age and older adult students, to assist them with their ELA skills, and with researching and assisting in writing both Bachelor's and Master's degree program coursework, essays, and papers.

I am also available to tutor adults who may desire to improve their business and/or personal writing skills, memoirs, etc. Adult ELA objectives may include improving one's grammar, spelling, reading comprehension skills, writing, etc. Adult learner objectives are typically focused on what may be required to improve and address the adult learner's ELA skills.

Let's talk, meet, and determine if there may be a good fit re: working with your child/ren, and begin tutoring to achieve their best selves! 😊📚📖

There have been many rewarding experiences while tutoring my clients over these past 4+ years. Some of the most rewarding events are when I receive feedback - either directly or indirectly - that my students really enjoy, have fun, and improve their ELA skills when working with me, have expanded their ELA knowledge, learned new things about themselves, improved their ELA test scores, and positively navigated new school or social situations.

Sometimes non-ELA conversations may occur during our 1:1 ELA tutoring sessions, and when they occur, they present opportunities to coach and mentor my students to enhance their "navigating life" skills.

I strongly believe that every child and adult has high worth, specific gifts and traits that make them unique individuals, and personal attributes and strengths to share with others as they go out into the world to contribute their talents in society and the world of work. Many of my students' parents have expressed deep appreciation for not only my tutoring efforts and results with their children, but also for the informal coaching and mentoring that I may provide with their child, as their curiosity, concerns, and questions may arise regarding social or school situations that they may encounter ( e.g. bullying, socially fitting in, making new friends, etc ) . I am happy to coach and mentor my students as such situations or concerns may arise.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. What ELA subjects is my child struggling with?

2. What have my child's recent test scores revealed (areas of strength and areas for improvement)?

3. What tutoring efforts (if any) have been tried and worked (or did not work) with my child?

4. What learning methodologies will the tutor use with my child?

Please Inform me of any special needs, assessed learning issues, cognitive or physical disabilities, the child's specific motivators, special interests, activities and sports they may enjoy, etc.

Details

My current tutoring rate is $40.00 - $45.00 per hour for an hour long (60 minutes) tutoring session in my clients' homes or location of their choice, such as their local library. If desired, 45 minute sessions are available, and priced accordingly. Fir example, if a family may have 2 children requiring tutoring services, I typically recommend 45 minutes per child, for a total of 1 and 1/2 hours with both children. My current rate for 2 adjacent 45 minutes sessions is $60-$70, depending on the client's location..
