"Hi, I’m April — a certified Special Education teacher with a Master’s degree in Special Education from Western Governors University (GPA: 4.0) and over 15 years of experience teaching in classrooms across Michigan and internationally. I am highly qualified to tutor elementary through middle school students, including those with IEPs, ADHD, dyslexia, and giftedness. My core subjects include reading, writing, executive functioning, comprehension, and confidence-building strategies.

I’ve successfully helped students improve reading fluency, grow their writing skills, build foundational math skills, and develop strong study habits that lead to long-term success. On average, my students show a 15% improvement on standardized assessments after working with me. I specialize in bite-sized tutoring sessions (15–30 minutes) that are flexible and fit into busy family life, making them perfect for summer support or long-term academic growth.

Over the years, I’ve created student-approved resources like reading logs, mini comprehension lessons, and weekly progress check-ins that help students track their own growth. I’m also a published education author, passionate about making challenging skills approachable and transforming learning into a positive, confidence-building experience.

If you’re looking for a tutor who will meet your child where they are, personalize each session, and make learning manageable and fun — I would love to support your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to partnering with you on your child’s learning journey!" less...
