Alison is a former public school teacher herself, and she was able to connect directly with his teachers and advisors as needed to help him create a path through middle school where he could be successful. After a very tough two years in 4th and 5th grades, he became a straight A student, happy and confident through his entire 6th grade year, and better able to deal with new challenges. We credit Alison for setting him up for that success and having his back whenever he needed some extra coaching along the way.--
