I earned my undergraduate degree from San Diego State University with a double major in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, along with a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies through the Weber Honors College. I later earned a Master’s degree in Data Analytics, where I specialized in data visualization using the Microsoft Power Platform (Power BI, Power Query, and Power Apps). My academic background reflects both strong theoretical foundations and practical, real-world applications of mathematics and analytics.

During my time as a teaching assistant for College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Linear Algebra, I developed a flexible and student-centered teaching style. I’ve worked seamlessly with students who have learning disabilities and prioritize creating a supportive, individualized learning environment where every student can succeed. I’m passionate about math and data, and I aim to help students not only solve problems but truly understand the reasoning behind them.

I offer online lessons only and adapt each session to your learning style, pace, and academic goals.

Please note that I allow rescheduling with at least 5 hours’ notice. If a session is missed without prior notice, I’ll wait up to 15 minutes before applying a $25 cancellation fee. Additionally, students must provide any materials they would like covered in the lesson at least 5 hours before the scheduled session. Last-minute requests cannot be fully incorporated into the lesson at length.

Excellent tutor for college Stats - especially Psych Stats & analytics

April is a fantastic tutor and has been a huge supporter for my kid who is a college freshman with a required psych stats class and a mumbling confusing professor. April is warm, encouraging, clear, and follows up. She turned a stressed out kid into a “I’ll get through this” kid. She pro-actively helps with different types of prep, ie for problem sets and study prep. She even reached out to me at one point to encourage accommodations that we didn’t know were available. I can’t recommend highly enough.
