Testimonials

Mrs. Alena has been the saving grace for my child. He is in 3rd grade but reading at kindergarten/first grade level. The school was not giving him the extra help he truly needed. As soon as I reached out to her I knew she was exactly what he needed. He actually has love for reading now. He used to never want to look at a book. Now he loves it!! I can not accurately express my gratitude for all the help she has given my son. I don't know what we would have done if it weren't for her. I struggled getting him on an iEP for his reading disability at the school. However, everything with Alena is so easy. She explains his progress and her plans for him thoroughly. She is amazing and worth every penny!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💗.

Alena has been a tremendous help to our family. In her sessions with my sophomore son, she worked to support his organizational, executive functioning and planning skills. She had effective tools and a calming communication style that was supportive and positive. She is organized, efficient and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her and will keep her contact in my toolbox in case we need her help again!

I highly recommend southern Oregon EmpowerED. My daughter was really struggling in reading. With Alena’s highly effective teaching methods she was able to gain the key concepts she was missing in a short timeframe. I would 100 percent recommend her to any of the kids that are struggling.

- Mother of a 7th grade girl

Working with Alena has been a relief! My daughter came to her feeling terrible about herself and her academics. She would often tell us she was “too stupid” to contribute to much of anything because her self esteem at school with her academics was so poor that she applied it to everything she tried. Alena helped us - not only navigate the brutal school district policies to implement a 504 plan - but she helped my daughter excel again! Her self esteem quickly followed, she loves school again, and she looks forward to each and every session with Alena!


- Mother of a 3rd grade girl

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful work Alena did with our son on math and reading comprehension! His teacher has reported a significant transformation in class—he's blossomed, gained confidence, and is now willing to show his thinking in multiple ways, a task that used to be a source of frustration for him. We highly recommend Alena for her exceptional expertise, patience, and creativity!

My 3rd grader has been having educational therapy with Alena this past school year and we have seen his reading levels improve significantly. I am so thankful for all of her help.
