Whether in our Tutoring, College Admissions Coaching, or Life Coaching business, the focus is always on connection and growth. At Evolve Tutoring, we place a great deal of value on not only helping students do well in school, but in understanding the value of process, hard work, and growing as a person.

At Evolve Coaching, the emphasis is on supporting adults and young adults in overcoming obstacles that hold them back. We identify what is holding them back, and then come up with concrete action plans to help them move forward and transform their lives.

Not only is this process incredibly helpful for those receiving tutoring and coaching, but it is also so valuable for me and my own growth.

About Me

Alan brings two decades of varied experience with children and adolescents to his leadership at Evolve, and the common thread has always been growth and helping them find their inspiration.

​

After studying English in college, devoting time to creative writing projects, and then doing some traveling, a pattern began to emerge. Whether mediating a dispute between neighborhood teens, gathering kids in Newfoundland for a game of Ultimate Frisbee, or connecting with street kids in Guatemala, he discovered a passion for working with young people. Along the way Alan has:

Facilitated individual and group counseling with at-risk youth in Boston. Taking the time to truly learn how they experience their world was instrumental in helping these youngsters invest in themselves.

Guided and led Outward Bound modeled adventure trips for teens where activities such as rock climbing, backpacking, rafting, and ropes courses were utilized to coach kids to challenge their limits.

Created various after-school groups in the Greater Boston area that began to incorporate his therapeutic and experiential-based knowledge with an academic tutoring component.

Completed a number of mindfulness courses in order to better be able to introduce Evolve tutors, and our students, to these valuable concepts that help them personally and academically.

Ultimately, Alan has tutored, coached and mentored hundreds of young people. He firmly believes that young people need someone to not only help them be better students but to also help them flourish in all areas of their lives.

​

Alan is also a managing partner at Reset Boston serving as their Academic Director and consultant. In this role, Alan supports Reset Boston in their numerous programs for teens and young adults.

​

In his personal life, Alan is an avid learner, always trying to expand his knowledge base, and pushing himself to remain open to new challenges and experiences. He thoroughly enjoys reading, writing, mountain biking, following the local arts and sports scenes, and being with good friends and family. Mostly though, you can find him spending time with his wife, who is a Yoga Instructor & studio owner, and their ever-changing 9-year-old son, who keeps them both on their toes!
