Ali tutored both our Northgate students on various math classes, as well as ACT prep. She tailored her lessons to each child’s temperament. She showed up on time, and was also dependable as well as thorough. Ali is a life-long learner; she is always working at making sure she’s up to speed with the teachers at the schools and the changes in the tests. I highly recommend her.

Parent of Two Northgate Graduates, 2013 and 2017

As an experienced English teacher,  wanting to improve my credential, I had to take the Florida State Certification Exam in the subject area of high school math. Specifically, complex probability questions that required knowledge from several different math content areas. I hadn’t done this stuff for years, and I was freaking out! 

Ali saved the day! She sat me down and very carefully and patiently explained how to work through these incredibly difficult problems. After just one session, I was miles ahead of where I started, able to understand the underlying concepts needed to solve the equations. My confidence renewed, I went into my exam fully prepared and ready to ace it, and… I aced it!

If you’re having any doubts, worries, or insecurities about your academic abilities, you must see Ali. She will help you access your innate problem-solving skills, and restore your confidence in your ability to succeed!

Ali is the best!!! She helped my son with his Algebra II Trig class when he began to struggle. Ali is very understanding, patient, flexible, and reliable…all the wonderful attributes you would seek in a tutor. Plus she’s very relatable and communicates well with kids so they ‘get it’. If your child needs a tutor you can trust to help to not only elevate their grade but bring a true understanding of math, contact Ali!!!

Ali is an amazing and talented tutor. Last year, she tutored my sophomore daughter and a classmate as they struggled through Algebra II/Trigonometry. Ali successfully guided them through tough material, and literally took my daughter from failing to A’s and B’s in the class. This year, my daughter continues to work with Ali on Pre-Calculus, and is doing very well. Ali has a calm, patient, and clear manner that truly makes my daughter feel comfortable – she is the best!
