April McDowell, Literacy Tutor

"With 25 years of teaching experience and an MA as a Literacy Specialist from Columbia University, I support children in their literacy learning in a one-on-one setting from my home in Kensington, MD. I support children with literacy work such as reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary development, spelling, writing skills, and phonics. I also can provide advanced academic enrichment for children who are in need of additional academic challenges in reading and writing.

While my teaching experience has been in DC area independent elementary schools, I am trained to teach children through eighth grade and am comfortable working with high school students, as well. I also have an MA in Elementary Education from American University and a BA in Psychology from Vassar College."
