My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Allen and I have taught English and History for over 30 years! I understand the unique challenges learners face at every stage. My experience includes teaching English Language learners and English as a second language learners, as well as, teaching successful AP English classes with outstanding test results. My students consistently achieve their goals, and many have gone on to prestigious universities; Stanford, Georgetown, UCLA, and UCSD to name a few. With over 30 years of dedicated teaching experience, I have had the privilege of guiding countless students on their journey to English mastery. My passion for language and learning has fueled my commitment to providing exceptional tutoring services.

I am a proud Mother of two successful boys who graduated from Georgia Tech/UCLA Anderson School of Business and University of Georgia. I am also a very proud grandmother. I am a San Diego State University graduate, I hold a clear and valid California, Nevada, and Arizona Teaching Credential. I have endorsements  to teach business, English, Social Studies, ESL, ELL, and Gifted and Talented Education. I bring a comprehensive skill set to my tutoring practice.

My dedication to student success is evident in my track record. My students have excelled at the highest levels, achieving recognition in prestigious competitions such as the world-wide "Anthem" writing contest, the state-level "Laws of Life" essay contest, and the California State Fair. At the district level, my students have been honored as winners of the San Diego Unified "What Citizenship Means to Me" contest.

Beyond the classroom, I have served as a Presenter at the California League of High School Leaders conference and a Program Quality Reviewer for the San Diego Unified School District. Additionally, I have contributed to the educational field as an AP scorer and a published curriculum writer for both site and district levels.
