Bio

As a former college math professor, you might expect that I always liked math. However, my passion for mathematics actually began when I was in 11th grade. As a homeschooled student, I had a flexible schedule which allowed me to take Algebra II at my local community college. I had an amazing professor who made me realize how fun math is. After that, I decided to major in math. In May 2012, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Bachelor's in Mathematics. For the next two years, I tutored math...

As a former college math professor, you might expect that I always liked math. However, my passion for mathematics actually began when I was in 11th grade. As a homeschooled student, I had a flexible schedule which allowed me to take Algebra II at my local community college. I had an amazing professor who made me realize how fun math is. After that, I decided to major in math. In May 2012, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Bachelor's in Mathematics. For the next two years, I tutored math at the community college. I realized that I enjoyed sharing my passion for math with others and decided to get my Master's in Mathematics at California State University Fullerton so I could teach at community colleges. While working on my Master's I taught Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra at CSUF. I completed my Master's in the Summer of 2016 and taught at community colleges through 2020. I have taught Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, College Algebra, and Statistics. I love coming up with new ways of explaining things and watching my students have "lightbulb moments" when they suddenly understand a concept that confused them. I am very patient with my students and love it when they ask lots of questions!

Now that I have decided to focus on tutoring full time, I would love to work with you to show you how fun and easy math can be! Send me a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule a lesson.

Elementary Math

I learned elementary math using a concept-based approach which helped me to understand math instead of just memorizing what to do. I can help your student understand the basics as well which will help prepare them for high school math and for life.

I've taught math at the college level so I know how to give students a solid foundation in Algebra I to prepare them for more advanced math classes. As a tutor, my students liked that I was patient and that I had multiple ways of explaining the same concept. I have also edited an Algebra I textbook, which has made me even more familiar with different algebraic concepts and methods of explaining them.

Outstanding! Excellent! Smart! Great teacher!

We are so grateful that our daughter was tutored by Joy this semester. She was barely passing pre-calculus when she began working with Joy and is now earning an A. Joy presented the instruction in such a way that our daughter really understood the concepts. Joy is a smart and talented teacher. Our daughter has ADD so her instruction required additional strategies to keep her focused during tutoring. We were easily able to set up times to meet with Joy. Our experience with working with Joy has been exceptional and we are grateful that our daughter has had the opportunity to work with her.

An outstanding tutor!

My daughter had her first tutoring session with Ms. Joy for Algebra this past Tuesday. Annie said she really challenged her and feels much more confident after just one session. We will definitely set up another tutoring session.

Great Teacher!

Joy was super sweet and patient when I didn’t understand something. This was my first lesson and I’m very grateful it was with her. Thank you again!

Ella, 1 lesson with Joy

Joy is Awesome!

We were initially nervous to pick a tutor but we read all of Joy's reviews and chose her. I knew it was a match once my daughter came upstairs to tell me how it went! In one session, I could tell my daughter had hope to get through this precalculus class and was excited to continue to work with Joy! Thank you Joy for all you do!

Thank you, Joy!

Joy was an amazing precalculus tutor for me whole year. She is patient, understanding, and very knowledgeable. Joy always arrives on time for our sessions which was great. She is also very encouraging and never makes me feel bad for not understanding a concept right away. She takes the time to listen and provide me with clear and concise answers. I am extremely grateful to have found such a talented and dedicated math tutor. I highly recommend Joy to anyone who is struggling with math or wants to improve their math skills. Thank you, Joy!
