Expectations for Success

To achieve the best outcomes for your child, we both need to commit. I’ll provide dedicated, individualized guidance and a supportive learning environment. In return, your consistent engagement and adherence to our agreed schedule will ensure steady progress and personalized support.

What You Can Expect From Me

Commitment to Individualized Learning

I am dedicated to supporting and guiding your child's literacy skills through high-impact, skill-based Zoom sessions. Recognizing each student’s unique abilities, I focus on their progress to ensure personalized learning.

High Expectations & Supportive Environment

I believe in each student's potential and encourage personal goal-setting, guiding them towards continuous self-improvement. Students can express their feelings without judgment, building resilience in a safe space.

Celebrating Growth & Succes

Success is about the journey. I celebrate growth and foster a sense of accomplishment. Achievable outcomes are carefully tailored to your child’s abilities, developmental stage, reading level, initial skill proficiency, and the timeframe available for skill attainment.

Continuous Support & Guidance

Depend on ongoing oversight and guidance as we navigate the learning journey together. I offer valuable assistance, professional guidance, and mentorship.

Expertise & Integrity

With an extensive background in Structured Literacy, I effectively support your child's learning journey. Our interactions are grounded in integrity, fostering a partnership based on trust and respect.

What I Can Expect From You

Commitment & Agreement

Ensure consistent weekly engagement to support your child’s language and literacy skills development. By agreeing and signing the terms and conditions, you contribute to the consistency and effectiveness of our tutoring sessions.

Confirmation and Adherence to RSCP

Confirm your Reading Support Commitment Plan (RSCP) duration, available for either 6 months or the school year (September-June). Your child is allocated a fixed time slot and a minimum number of sessions per month as per the RSCP. Please adhere to your RSCP and avoid unnecessary cancellations or rescheduling to ensure your child receives personalized reading support consistently.

Flexibility in Adjustments

While commitment is essential, I understand that life events may necessitate changes. Please consider modifying session dates rather than reducing your commitment to ensure consistent progress for your child.

Acknowledgment of RSCPs

Understand and acknowledge the instructional focus and objectives of our Reading Support. Prospective families must thoroughly review and acknowledge the terms and conditions outlined in the registration form. Full virtual reading therapy support requiring daily sessions is not currently offered.

Impact of Long-term Tutoring

Long-term, high-impact tutoring intervention produces significant learning gains in foundational reading skills. Monthly reading plans alone cannot definitively lead to mastery learning.

Impact of Long-term Tutoring

Long-term, targeted reading instruction and interventions can yield significantly greater learning gains in foundational reading skills compared to short-term or monthly reading plans, which cannot definitively lead to mastery. At this time, 1:1 daily diagnostic and prescriptive tutoring sessions for reading therapy are not available.

Disclaimer: Tutoring services and programs are designed to provide targeted skill-based instruction and support skill gaps. Currently, the Platinum plan offers the maximum tutoring support with twice-weekly sessions. However, Reading with Ms. Joy’s tutoring services and programs do not address or substitute for challenges related to professional medical, counseling, or psychological evaluations and support acknowledged in 504 plans or IEPs. My Standard reading plans aim to improve understanding of language and literacy concepts but should not be perceived as comprehensive reading therapy.
