Rebecca Thompson
ParentIB Computer ScienceWe were very happy to find a tutor with actual IB teaching experience. Our son was struggling with IB Computer Science and needed someone who understood the curriculum and the level expected in the DP. Dominique has taught IBDP ITGS through Pamoja, as well as Computer Science to IB students, so she was able to immediately understand where he needed support. She is energetic and keeps the lessons very interactive, which suits him really well. His confidence has improved considerably and we are already seeing a positive difference in his understanding and assessment results.

StudentIB Digital SocietyI started lessons because I was struggling with Digital Society and wasn't getting the marks I wanted. What I really like is that the lessons are not just going through notes. She asks me questions and makes me work things out, which has helped me understand the topics properly. She is also really good at explaining things in different ways when I don't get something the first time. I feel much more prepared and my marks have started to improve.

ColleagueDominique was always on time for the online lessons and even came up in-person workshops. Other than the in-person workshops, all her teaching with our Grade 12s was online and she was fantastic in this format. Her communication style is easy to follow. She doesn’t speak too fast or too slow but knows when to pause and wait for students to answer. The cohort was not the most responsive, but Dominique would encourage them to ask and answer questions.

ColleagueDominique engages positively with her students and is a natural teacher. She has a strong sense of justice and will voice her concerns when necessary. She loves being a teacher and can communicate clearly with students and colleagues.
