A huge Thank You To April for teaching [my daughter] and helping her achieve these high scores.
I'm grateful for you April and I'm proud of you [my daughter].
Counting it All Joy,
April has been working with my son for nearly 2 years, and the impact she's had on his education has been incredible. She's helped him strengthen his skills in English, grammar, writing, and reading comprehension — areas where he needed extra support after being out of school for nearly two years. A friend recommended April, and we're so grateful they did.
Her thoughtful, encouraging approach to teaching and mentoring has not only improved his academic abilities but also helped him regain confidence in the classroom. He no longer feels anxious about learning or writing papers, which is a huge step forward.
Recently, I asked April to begin working with my daughter on reading comprehension and writing (we are almost at a year now). Although she attends public school, she hadn't been taught the core fundamentals of writing, and I felt she needed additional support. Just a few weeks in, my daughter is already seeing real progress — and she's excited about it! She's more confident and is starting to apply what she's learning with April in her schoolwork.
April is warm, approachable, and always open to feedback. She tailors her teaching style to fit each child's needs, which makes all the difference. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a compassionate, effective educator. I'll continue to rely on her support for my kids.
April's classes are a lifesaver! April's classes are thorough and encourage students to think and explain their reasoning. She is not just trying to get them to “check the box” but is truly helping them learn and grow as students.
I appreciate that her classes are challenging and she empowers students to take responsibility for their work and participation in class. I will continue to sign my kids up for classes with her because I know they will get the information and standards they need, while also getting the support and encouragement. Thank you for creating such a great environment for them!
Ms. April provides a seamless transition to a virtual classroom for the homeschooler. Online classes took nothing away from the “live” experience: real-time lively interaction with exchange of ideas and opportunity to have students' questions answered. Ms. April is experienced, patient, and knowledgeable. Her class recaps are so beneficial for students and their parents! My homeschooler has been taking classes with her for four years. I would strongly recommend her classes.
My children have been taking Ms. April Lipsky's classes for the past 5 years. She is one of the only teachers that they repeatedly ask to take classes with. They are engaged during class and have learned a lot. April offers wonderful courses and caters courses to students' needs as well. She has been an integral part of our children's education.
