Hello! My name is April, I am excited to work with new students, and help others learn!

I am knowledgeable in the common core standards for K-5 and love to see students be successful in the classroom and develop a love of learning.

I am fun, friendly, and passionate about helping students succeed and gain confidence in subjects they may have felt uneasy about previously.
