Expertise with heart.
Meet Martine
Romulus Vandi.

I’m a Boston educator, a parent, and the founder of Tini’s Classroom. My work draws on more than a decade of K–8 teaching experience and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

I created Tini’s Classroom to help bridge the gap between school and home—with academic support for children and practical guidance for the people raising them.

As a Haitian American educator from Roxbury, I value family knowledge, language, and community. I speak English and Haitian Creole, and I believe families deserve to feel included in conversations about their children’s education.

04 / Tini’s Classroom Kreyòl

Your language.
Your questions.
Your voice.

Byenveni nan kominote nou an.

Support begins with feeling understood. Haitian Creole-speaking families can ask questions, discuss school concerns, and explore academic support in a language they feel comfortable using.

05 / Schools & community organizations

A partner in
family engagement.

For schools, districts, nonprofits, and community organizations seeking meaningful connections with families. Explore collaborative workshops, consulting, and speaking centered on K–8 literacy, learning, and trust.

Questions are welcome.

Do I need to know which service my child needs?

No. Start with what you’re noticing at home or hearing from school. The discovery call is a place to discuss your concerns and explore possible next steps.

What happens during a Parent Discovery Call?

We discuss your questions, your child’s needs, and potential support in a free 15-minute introductory conversation. This is not a diagnostic evaluation or a free academic assessment.

Can I ask about support in Haitian Creole?

Yes. Martine speaks English and Haitian Creole. Include your preferred language when you inquire.

Can a school or organization reach out?

Yes. Partnership inquiries are welcome for parent workshops, family engagement, literacy support, consulting, and speaking. Share your audience and goals to begin the conversation.

How do I find out about pricing and availability?

K–8 tutoring starts at $85 for a single session. Four-week packages are $300 for once weekly, $550 for twice weekly, and $780 for three times weekly. Visit Services & Investment above, or inquire about availability and other service pricing.
