Miss Allysun

With over seventeen years of experience in accredited Waldorf schools, I bring a deep understanding of child development, a mastery of the Waldorf curriculum, and a steady, caring presence to every tutoring session. My approach combines academic precision with warmth and artistry, helping students build confidence, competence, and connection to learning.

I hold a Master’s in Waldorf Education with a Transdisciplinary Focus on Healing Education from Antioch University New England, emphasizing collaborative, research-based approaches to inclusive education, and a Bachelor’s in Liberal Studies from Mills College, with an emphasis in Physics and a minor in Music.

My teaching has spanned the full spectrum of academic subjects for grades 1-8, with a particular love for math, music, and painting. Alongside classroom teaching, I have led faculty retreats, parent workshops, and outdoor education programs, directed class plays, and mentored student teachers. I’ve also worked in teacher education, designing and leading courses at Rudolf Steiner College and through the Center for Anthroposophy’s Building Bridges program, while participating in more than fifteen years of professional development in the U.S. and at the Goetheanum in Switzerland. My commitment to accessible, human-centered education has also led to appearances in The New York Times, BBC, and NBC Nightly News as a spokesperson for Waldorf education.

I am experienced in supporting students with diverse learning needs, including dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and other learning differences. Tutoring sessions are individualized and structured to build skills in math, writing, and study habits, with close collaboration between parents, teachers, and students to ensure continuity and progress.

Each calm, focused session blends Waldorf pedagogy with research-informed strategies, offering clear instruction, visual modeling, and active student participation. I look forward to partnering with you to help your child grow as a thinker, problem-solver, and lifelong learner.
