April Garrett's approach to education is predicated on a few simple and logical principles. Each student is unique. The most effective teaching is honed to the specific learning style and personality of each student. Consistent, concentrated, personalized, one-on-one instruction is significantly more effective than classroom or small group instruction when a student is having difficulty with a school subject. When a student is experiencing even moderate difficulty with a subject, early intervention is the key to cultivating student confidence and independence. Failure to intervene quickly often results in feelings of academic and psychological inadequacy, aversion to a given subject or school in general, chronically low grades, and/or poor behavior. Students learn best and enjoy the process the most with enthusiastic, sensitive instructors to whom they can relate. Poor performance in school is rarely a product of laziness. In her twenty-five years as an educator, April Garrett has yet to meet a genuinely lazy child. Outwardly uncooperative behavior is an expression of internal or environmental problems such as unidentified learning disabilities, emotional issues, frightening or ineffective teachers, and uncomfortable social circumstances at school. Addressing these underlying causes will transform a reluctant, under-achieving student into an enthusiastic accomplished one.
