A tutor who admires and secretly loves languages and literature
I believe in interactive tutoring sessions. I have been teaching and tutoring English, Psychology and foreign languages since 1995. My greatest success with my tutees has come about through listening and appreciating their input and the integrity of their ideas.

Testimonials
Nancy P. from Palo Alto, CA Joyce tutors my son in analytical writing, vocabulary development and grammar at the high school level. She is skilled in helping him think more critically about his writing and essay development particularly related to literature. In addition, she shows interest in my son as a whole person which promotes his comfort in the tutoring relationship. Joyce quickly responds to emails, meets our scheduling needs and is punctual. We highly recommend her as a knowledgeable and effective tutor.
Guna C. from San Jose, CA We needed an experienced SAT tutor to prep my daughter for SAT critical reading and essay writing in 4 weeks. My daughter took 3 hours of tutoring from Joyce and stopped. We felt she had a great English language teaching experience but not much of SAT prep tutoring experience.
Pam L. from Mountain View, CA We were in the process of determining if Joyce would be a good fit for my daughter so we hadn't hired her yet. Nonetheless, I got charged for a "get to know" phone interview even though Joyce promised me there would be no charge. I even stopped her during our conversation and she ensured me for the second time that there would be no fee. I was very disappointed that she did not follow through with her word because the next thing I knew, she had charged me for a 45 minute tutoring session that I did not approve of. We decided she was not a good fit, and the surprise charge reinforced our decision to find another tutor.
