We provide a virtual reading clinic to improve reading outcomes for students, families, and the community.
Our virtual reading clinic helps students overcome reading difficulties by providing one-to-one online tutoring in reading, comprehension and spelling. Our reading tutors are live, trained certified teachers and pre-service teacher candidates who are completing coursework or clinical hours. We work with students and families over 12-week terms to address specific reading goals.
Our reading clinic is for students in grades 4-12 and their families. The fee is $300 for each 12-week term. Comparable services in the public sector may run as high as $2,000). Scholarships are available for students with financial need.
We also work with schools and community organizations (afterschool programs, churches, and nonprofit organizations to bring reading support to students in grades 4-12 and their families.
“Joy for Education is an excellent resource for our family especially during this pandemic. We have been homeschooling our two sons and love that process but also felt that we needed guidance and mentorship from someone with experience in education. We feel blessed to have access to this amazing program and highly recommend it for children who need to be challenged, children who need guidance, and parents who are looking for quality support. The boys look forward to their tutoring sessions and have grown academically since they started. With this help we are setting our boys up for total success.
