I’m thrilled to be your dedicated Reading Coach and partner in your child’s learning journey. I work closely with families who are deeply committed to helping their children thrive — not just in reading, but in confidence, independence, and self-belief.
My coaching is designed for bright, capable learners who need specialized support to unlock their reading potential. I offer high-value, personalized coaching rooted in the science of reading and Orton-Gillingham principles — not daily therapy or generic tutoring. Every session is tailored, intentional, and delivered with care.

Ms. Joy will facilitate access to the online training but will request that parents independently monitor their child’s training and progress. While Ms. Joy will check in periodically to provide oversight, she will not be consistently monitoring home software training.
