Monique Cotton

Hello! I'm a passionate and certified elementary education teacher in the state of Connecticut, committed to fostering a love for learning in young students. I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Sacred Heart University, where I honed my skills in effective pedagogical practices and child development.

My approach to tutoring is individualized and student-centered, focusing on building foundational skills while nurturing confidence and critical thinking. I believe every child has unique strengths and learning styles, and I tailor my lessons to meet their specific needs.

Specialized Expertise:

I am proud to be Orton-Gillingham certified, a highly effective, multisensory approach to teaching reading, spelling, and writing. This specialized training allows me to provide targeted support for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences, helping them unlock their full literacy potential.

Currently Seeking a Student for Associate-Level Certification:

am currently in the process of completing my Orton-Gillingham Associate Level certification. As part of this advanced training, I am actively seeking a student to work with. This opportunity allows me to apply advanced Orton-Gillingham strategies under direct supervision, providing your child with high-quality, specialized instruction at a reduced rate or pro bono, depending on the arrangement. This is a unique chance for your child to receive expert, research-based literacy support while contributing to my professional development.

I am dedicated to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore, question, and grow. Let's work together to help your child thrive academically!
