About Alfina
Experience: 10 yrs
I have over 20 Years of Extensive Tutoring, Educational Counseling, Mental Health Services, Client Advocacy, and Special Education Teaching experiences. Seven years of Special Education teaching experience provided insight into differences in learning styles, issues of learning disabilities including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and Autism Spectrum Disorders, and how these impact higher education experiences. Qualified administrator and interpreter of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for career skills and major selection. Certified as a Qualified Parent Trainer in Communication by Family Team Institute, Ft. Myers, Florida. Fluent in French, Indonesian, Sundanese, and conversant in Russian and Japanese. I am trained and Certified in Orton Gillingham reading methods by the State of Hawaii Dept. of Education, during the 2008-2009 School Year. I was trained directly by the Statewide Special Education Literacy Resource Teacher Trainer of the Hawaii State Department of Education. I am also trained in the Wilson Foundation and Wilson Reading Program, which is the more "children friendly" version of the Orton Gillingham methods, for which I attended annual training conducted by Colorado Department of Education.

Reviewed on 8/26/2022
My son ended his first year of kindergarten only knowing three letters. I immediately hired Mrs. W. and she tutored him three times a week throughout the summer. He started his second year of kindergarten more confident and knowledgeable, and was able to drop his literacy IEP after the first semester. Mrs. W. has a unique ability to hold my son's attention and motivate him to be able to learn for a complete hour per session. If she notices a method isn't working, she moves on to a different method that engages his attention better. Mrs. W. is an exceptional tutor, and I am so thankful for how much she has improved my son's confidence and his ability to succeed academically.
