About Tutorfit456
Welcome to Tutorfit456! We are an innovative reading tutor based in Dexter, Michigan providing a unique method of reading support for super active 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students that boosts their confidence and helps them reach their full potential. We are committed to helping our students become academically fit and achieve success in their education.
Jonathan Royce (our owner and founder) experienced growing up as a struggling reader. This motivated him to create Tutorfit456 Academic Interval Training™, a research-based method of support that combines short bouts of athletic movement and training with focused wellness practices and longer bouts of reading and discussion. This approach optimizes student mindsets by improving alertness, attention, and motivation, and it prepares and encourages nerve cells to bind to one another, which is the cellular basis for learning new information. It also spurs the development of new nerve cells from stem cells in the hippocampus, an area in the brain related to memory and learning.
Our Goal
Helping your child transform from being afraid of reading to being a more focused, fearless, and fit lifelong reader. We believe that every student has the potential to achieve great things, and we are committed to helping them reach their full potential. Thank you for considering Tutorfit456.com for your academic needs. We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!
Our Team
With over 35 years combined experience, Jonathan and Andre have the experience, empathy and compassion to make a difference in your children’s future. Propelling their confidence and motivation to new heights.

About Jonathan – Founder of Tutorfit456™
Jonathan is a high-energy adult who, as a child, faced significant challenges with reading. Fortunately, he had the support of incredible tutors, teachers, and school staff — along with dedicated parents — who helped him grow into a confident, capable reader.
That foundational skill helped open many doors. Jonathan earned a Bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Michigan, a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Eastern Michigan University, and an Education Specialist degree from Western Michigan University. He also holds a School Administrator’s Certificate. While studying at the University of Michigan, he was a member of the Men’s Track & Field team, where he specialized in the high jump and was later inducted into the University of Michigan Track and Field Hall of Fame.
With over 20 years of experience in education — as a teacher, principal, and now superintendent — Jonathan credits strong reading skills as the key to his academic and professional success. He founded Tutorfit456™ to combine his passions for movement, athletics, and learning to support other super-active students who may be struggling, just as he once did.
