I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

Hi, I'm Allison! I'm a 28-year-old nurse educator with a passion for teaching and helping others succeed in their academic and professional goals. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Penn State and spent four years working in a high-acuity cardiac ICU, where I developed a strong foundation in critical care nursing. During that time, I also completed my Master of Science in Nursing Education.

Currently, I work as a nurse educator, where I specialize in training clinicians on the use and care of an implantable heart pump (LVAD). I bring a deep understanding of complex medical topics, patient care, and clinical decision-making to my teaching. I love breaking down complicated subjects into approachable, understandable piecesand I'm here to help you do the same.

Whether you're a nursing student preparing for exams, a new nurse navigating critical care, or someone looking to deepen their clinical knowledge, I'd love to support your learning journey!

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and attending Penn State sporting events with my family.
