Joy
Math tutor from elementary to Algebra 1. FLVS fluent
I have been teaching for the last 13 have been full time. I enjoy the challenges that students bring into the classroom on a daily basis. I tutor A LOT of students that take FLVS courses. I love to see the look on their face when they finally get a concept and understand the problem for the first time. I am a teacher now in the Hillsborough County School district. I am very passionate about teaching. I feel that you have to have some fun while learning to actually learn. I have taugh...

Joy is a great math tutor for my 15 year old son. She also helps in other subjects as needed. She is reliable and I am grateful to have her as backup to get my son through high school.

Excellent, couldn't be happier. She worked well with my son and after their tutoring session it was obvious my son felt much more confident. I noticed she used a lot of positive reinforcement which created a very nice mood. Joy is knowledgeable, patient and prompt. Highly recommend.

I had to take a college entrance exam for a second degree some 30 years after my last math class. Knowing I would be rusty, I hired Joy to help me study. She was excellent. Very patient, knew subject matter well and taught me all the shortcuts to do the problems quicker. She even came back a second day because I was too tired to complete the whole session in one day after flying in late the night before. She is a very skilled teacher with public school experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend her. Thanks to Joy, I passed my test the afternoon after she left and felt well prepared!

We've only had a few sessions, but in speaking with Joy before our first session--she understands how to help my child. He says "she's fine", which is a high compliment. She's made deals with him to get him to participate more with helping himself during school and increasing responsibility. He's in 6th grade and needs help with everything--I think Joy is a great match for us.
