Alison B. Nesconset, NY
Junior year of high school can be a tough time for both the student and parent. Academics, sports, clubs, social lives and new jobs....and then add in all the time needed to begin thinking about college!

I have over 10 years in assisting, encouraging, and teaching students the techniques needed ... Read more

I attended the University of Oviedo, in the northern province of Asturias, Spain where i studied advanced language, conversation and literature courses. Next, I attended the Universi... Read more
