“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.
