About Dominique
The library was my safe space as a kid and I can't imagine my life without books as some of my best friends. I believe that those who can read are free, and there is no greater joy than watching a student's jaw drop open as they sound out a word for the first time! I love helping students learn to master their own power and unlock all the magic of words. I hold a Master's in English for Teachers from Western New England University and a professional teaching license from the State of Massachusetts, where I was a Language Arts department head and participated in writing curriculum based on the common core standards. Before turning my focus to 1:1 and small-group intervention, I worked for over a decade in both public and private elementary, middle, and secondary schools. My passion is serving as a guide and cheerleader for developing readers and readers who need to build confidence. In public schools, my students showed remarkable improvement scores on state testing and more importantly, learned to see themselves as capable readers and writers. A life-long learner myself, I stay current on reading research and have studied the highly-regarded Orton-Gillingham approach. Most recently I led Learning Support Services at a Montessori School. I'm happy to bring your child the best of Montessori, the best of Common Core, and the best of Orton-Gillingham! Most of all, I look forward to showing them humor, patience, and compassion as we embark on a journey into the world of words!

Each student has a unique story! My lessons are always tailored to student need, interest, and learning style. I use multi-sensory approaches that incorporate touch, movement, and games! In addition to studying the science-backed, Orton-Gillingham approach, I've also studied Montessori philosophy and embrace her concept of "following the child." My students learn to believe in themselves as they realize the magic of words. They show impressive levels of improvement, marked by formal and informal assessment, and they also demonstrate huge leaps in confidence!
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I have worked with Dominique in two different school districts. I have personally seen her help students go from barely knowing English to writing 5 paragraph essays. She teaches the whole student and is excellent at identifying and closing gaps. Teaching children is her passion and anyone would be lucky to work with her!
In a previous role I held as Head of School, I hired and had the privilege of entrusting Dominique with reimagining our reading and learning support program. Her warm and compassionate nature coupled with her ability to adapt interventions and supports to meet the needs and interests of her students made her beloved by children, respected by parents, and valued tremendously as a faculty member. I personally entrusted her with the education of my youngest son who under her guidance overcame challenges posed by dyslexia and ADHD. I highly recommend her.
I was fortunate enough to have Dominique as my english teacher in school. She not only finds ways to engage with many different students with different learning abilities, she sets the most calm tone in her teaching techniques. She goes above and beyond to truly and uniquely understand each students learning pace, and their interest. Dominique dedicates her time and effort to make her teaching both creative and effective. Dominique truly takes the time to understand each individual and puts forth strong efforts to make each student feel heard, valued, and understood. I highly recommend Dominique as a teacher!

Details
Hourly rate includes live 1:1 session time with your student for plus time spent prior to the session preparing individualized lessons for your student, post-session time spent reflecting on your student's session, and the cost of creating and purchasing materials for the student. Students who would benefit from shorter sessions may message me about shorter sessions and the rate will be adjusted. I also offer 30 minute sessions for $25. In order for students to make notable progress and for the student to see a return on their investment, I do strongly suggest booking at least two sessions a week.
