In some cases, the pure academic challenges have almost nothing to do with it at all! In other cases, it is nearly exclusively academic. In fact, each teen or young adult needs a customized blend of academic expertise they can trust and personal support for all the issues surrounding academics that lead to achievement and pride.
ABOUT US
FOR MANY OF OUR STUDENTS
academics is not the only impediment to success
THE PERSONAL SUPPORT INCLUDES BUILDING CONFIDENCE
through increasing the “win ratio” in instructor interaction
It also includes guiding communication with teachers and professors, guided course selection, executive function support around scheduling and managing their lives, breaking large tasks into manageable pieces, and gentle coaxing them toward more healthy lifestyle choices that may be limiting them (eating, sleeping, mindfulness). It ultimately builds towards an awareness of their future academic and professional careers once they gain solid footing.

When you sign up with Alliance, you don’t just get a tutor. You get a mentor, an expert, a guide, and a brother or a sister.
You get family.
After having Mr. Merrill as both a teacher and a tutor, I can confidently say that he significantly improved my reading and writing skills. If it weren't for his annotation rules, I probably still wouldn't be able to effectively annotate books today! His tutoring for the SAT and ACT definitely helped me improve my scores to get me to where I needed to be. 10/10 would recommend!
Alliance has helped transform my English (and many others!) from weak and confusing to powerful and coherent. What I like about Alex the most is he is driven to help his students achieve their goals and will do anything it takes to get there. I am also familiar with other tutors on team Alliance -- they are excellent teachers.
Alliance has been helping my son in English and SAT Prep for over a year, and I can't say enough about how positive and productive that has been. My son has so many more tools in writing as a result, and the SAT preparation is providing excellent results.
Mr. Merrill tutored our daughter, Isabelle, as a Sophomore and Junior at Taft. He gave her a great deal of help with English, especially writing. He helped her write better structured and more focused essays and helped her prepare for the SAT exams. Isabelle credits Mr. Merrill with helping her develop into a focused reader and an excellent writer. The skills she learned from Mr. Merrill's tutoring have helped her significantly in her first year as a college student. Mr. Merrill was also a caring academic advisor to Isabelle.
