My Summary
About Me
My teaching career spans 34 years: as a full-time teacher for 22 years and now concentrating on private tuition. During this time, I have taught throughout all Key Stages. I was Numeracy coordinator in my school for 12 years.
(My DBS was issued in September 2016. I am subscribed to the DBS update service, which constantly updates this certificate).
My Experience
I have a wide experience with KS1,KS2 and KS3. I have a thorough knowledge of National Curriculum requirements and testing and keep up-to-date with any new developments.
I also tutor GCSE maths ( both higher and foundation levels ), and English language and literature GCSE. I offer tuition for 11+ entry for both grammar and independent schools.
The children I have worked with enjoy the lessons and have achieved good results. Each child has shown very good progress, as I monitor and assess their learning throughout.
I usually set homework, as this will reinforce the learning from the lesson. After each lesson, I will give feedback and discuss any concerns or areas you would like to address.
My Qualifications
BEd Honours in Education Lancaster University 1990
My Availability
After school and weekends. I try to work in the same areas on particular days and at present am teaching in the Greenford/ Southall /Yeading/Perivale areas. Often I may have filled my available spaces, but am always happy to discuss your child's learning requirements and take your contact details in case I have spaces in the future.
During school holidays, I am available for more intensive support with individual children.
I am looking for extra tuition in the Northolt area on Thursday evenings.

Gallison began working with our son when he was in year 4 and came to our home for 8 years on a weekly basis, teaching both English and maths,
She is dependable and highly organised and will always give time after each lesson to give detailed feedback. She really knows how to achieve the best from students. My son always looked forward to her visits and did his best for her. He has really thrived and developed a very studious nature.
He sat his GCSEs this year and achieved level 8 in both English Language and Literature and a level 9 in maths! A great part of his success is thanks to Gallison.
We are so grateful for her patience and dedication and would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Dear Jackie,
Thank you so much for the very positive review.
It was always a pleasure coming to teach at your home.
Your son deserves his excellent grades and I wish him every success in his future studies.
We have had this tutor for 4 years and we first had Miss Allison for my elder son. In two months she improved my son's handwriting , then she helps my son in all the areas in English and Maths. Such as answering comprehension questions fully and difficult areas in maths. Miss Allison makes sure whoever she teaches that whenever a student gets a question wrong she makes sure that the student understands the question , by going through it thoroughly and explaining the question step by step. If you request any sort of topic on Maths and English , Miss Allison gives it at the next lesson. I think this exceptional . After putting my second child in , his scores on his report started going up . Then he fixed his handwriting and started doing comprehension , addition and spelling only at the age of 5 years old. I strongly recommend her Platinum service so think twice before hiring a different tutor.

Thank you so much for your positive review.
It's a pleasure working with your children.
Credit for their progress is also due to their great attitude to learning and hard work!
I was recommended Gallison's services by a friend in Harrow. I was particularly interested in online tuition during the lockdown/school closure period.
The lessons for my son have been very beneficial in preparation for his 11+ exams.
Gallison is very organised and well prepared. During the lessons,my son enjoys working alongside his teacher . He enjoys explaining his reasoning and says that he now understands lots of new things in maths ( especially algebra and word problems ).In English/verbal he enjoys looking at harder comprehension texts with his teacher,as she always makes sure he understands the work. She has been setting a lot of homework through Google Classroom and quickly marks and returns the work with helpful comments.
I fully recommend this teacher and hope that my year 4 daughter can start lessons in September.

We are really happy with Miss.Allison who is with our daughter more than a year. Normally our daughter will show less interest with teachers if she doesn’t like them but with Allison she is so happy and comfortable.After Miss.Allison started teaching our daughter Maths And English, those are her favourite ones especially Maths ..!!!! All credits goes to Miss.Allison....!!! Thank you
Our daughter's reading and writing have improved. Her class teacher was so surprised about her beautiful handwriting and appreciated very much. Allison is always on time and will let us know any changes in advance. I have recommended Allison to my friends and would not hesitate to recommend Alison's tution for anyone looking for genuinely experienced teacher in the future as well !!!!!!
Thank you

Gallison is tutoring maths and English to my son. I find my son has improved a lot since she took over. Gallison is very well prepared for each lesson and uses very engaging materials. My son very much likes to work with her.
I would strongly recommend her service.
