Alexandra Serafin, MA

Academic Specialist

With a strong foundation in language arts and a deep passion for helping students grow as thinkers and communicators, Alexandra brings both expertise and enthusiasm to our team. A graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelor of Arts in English, Alexandra also holds a California Teaching Credential in English Education and an English Learner Authorization. She later earned her Master of Arts in Curriculum & Instruction, further refining her instructional design and literacy development expertise.

Alexandra brings extensive experience across both private and public educational settings, where she has supported a wide range of learners in the humanities. As a high school English teacher, she has worked with diverse student populations - including Honors, AP, English Learners (EL), and Special Education (SPED) students - developing advanced literacy skills and fostering a love of language that extends beyond the classroom. Her work reflects a deep understanding of literacy at the secondary level and an ability to meet students where they are while helping them master complex reading and writing skills.

In addition to her academic background, Alexandra previously served as a Board Certified Autism Technician at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, where she implemented applied behavior analysis curricula and maintained a strong commitment to individualized support.

A lifelong lover of the written word, Alexandra is passionate about helping students build confidence as readers and writers. She believes in fostering engaging, student-centered learning environments where learners feel empowered to express their ideas and grow as independent thinkers.

Outside of her professional life, Alexandra enjoys reading, writing, hiking, and traveling, always eager to explore new stories, places, and perspectives. As a history enthusiast, she brings curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning to everything she does.

We’re thrilled to have Alexandra on our team - and we welcome her to yours - where her dedication to your child’s success will shine through in every session.
