I recommend Alfina W. as your tutor because she helped me a lot. One thing I like about her is her patience. She is on time; I mean she always shows up. My grade was a C but now I am an A student because of her.

We hired Alfina to tutor our 7 year-old with handwriting. She totally retrained him in letter formation and there is a night and day difference in his penmanship. That went so well we ask if she would continue once a week with both the 7 year old and his eight year old brother in all areas of their academic work. They both have improved their grades and understanding of math and reading. They do their homework...

That went so well we ask if she would continue once a week with both the 7 year old and his eight year old brother in all areas of their academic work. They both have improved their grades and understanding of math and reading. They do their homework with her each week, so fuss or scolding!! Highly recommended!

Alfina has been working with my autistic son for 2 weeks now and I am extremely happy so far. She is very dedicated to my son's progress and I see positive changes in him already. This is the first time he is actually sounding out words and excited to learn. I immediately felt comfortable with her and I hope to work with her for a very long time. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants a professional...

Alfina is an amazing educator. She is truly a professional who is dedicated to her student s academic growth and achievement. She has a rare mixture of extensive education, experience and wisdom.
In regards to my son s learning disabilities, Alfina was able to pick up on what he needed almost immediately to address his learning disabilities specifically and push him to the next level of learning. This is something that the Ch**** Cr*** School District and its entire SpEd team (at one of their highest rated High Schools) have managed to ignore.
My son felt immediately comfortable with her. Alfina, while remaining realistic is a great encourager. With Alfina's help, my son has set his goal for going to college (something he had given up on).
I would recommend Alfina for any general or special education student. In fact I have already recommended her to my friends.

I greatly appreciate your review and recommendation, Christina!

Alfina has been teaching our two children (1st and 3rd grade) for two months now and we could not be more satisfied! As the result of her efforts, we seen remarkable growth in their academic performance. Alfina is very highly educated and has terrific training, experience and skill in working with dyslexic children, in particular. She has totally exceeded our expectations.
