My son Caleb has been with Ms. Joy for over 2 years. We found her by accident and we are so blessed to have found her! When Caleb (age 11) started lessons with Ms. Joy, his dyslexia was very severe. He struggled with every word he would try to read. It would take 30 minutes to read just one page of a kindergarten level reader. Slowly, but surely, over the next two years, Caleb would grow so much in his reading abilities. He would sometimes seem to have setbacks and other times - seem to forget everything he learned. But Ms. Joy never gave up on him. Now he can read his 6th grade level school work! He still struggles some, but the improvements are incredible. Ms. Joy was encouraging when Caleb wanted to give up. She would smile and laugh and play games and hooray! when he would get the right answers. His confidence has tripled! I, as Caleb's mom am grateful for all the work and investment Ms. Joy has put into my son's learning. As a homeschool mom, stuck in a school district that offered no help for my son because of his age, I am so thankful to have found such a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor that forever has helped my son. Thank you Ms. Joy from both Caleb and myself.

Paxton started with Ms.Joy as a third grader who was struggling with basic phonics. He is now a fourth grader who loves to read to his siblings and is finally gaining confidence in himself. We look forward to sessions with her!

My children have been working with Ms. Joy for just over a year now. They have gone from frustrated, stumbling readers to more confident, active readers! Seeing this transformation and the progress they have made is incredible. This has been a learning adventure for all of us; Ms. Joy has a true passion for figuring out each child’s reading difficulties and teaching them skills in ways they understand. Classes are fun, interactive, and easy for the kids to navigate on their own. Homework assignments between classes build on the skills learned and Ms. Joy explains everything to me, so I feel confident helping them. Working with Ms. Joy takes commitment as it is a team effort to teach, learn, and practice reading skills for retention and fluency. It is worth every minute of work when your child starts reading independently for pleasure and not just when they have to for schoolwork. We are so happy we found Ms. Joy!

My daughter Samantha started with Miss Joy in the fall of 2021, in 2nd grade. We homeschool and learned she was dyslexic so an at-home, Zoom program was a great fit. Samantha really enjoys the games and book suggestions from Ms. Joy. In the last year, Sam has bloomed and began reading fluently and picks up books on her own to read to us! She always tells people how nice her reading tutor is. We can definitely tell Ms. Joy is passionate about teaching and helping her students achieve their full potential!

My daughter, Cora, has been working with Ms Joy for about a year. During that time her language skills - being able to read/sound out words, comprehension, and spelling - have improved by leaps and bounds. While short, Ms Joy’s lessons are effective and memorable. I regularly hear and see Cora using the skills she has learned in class during her free time and schoolwork. As a homeschooling parent, Ms Joy has been wonderful! She is an excellent communicator and collaborator. She is so knowledgeable about all aspects of literacy and is able to explain and pass that information on, along with being an encyclopedia of books, websites, and other resources. Her passion for what she does shines! I would not hesitate to recommend her wholeheartedly!
