Our son has worked with Joy with reading and writing instruction. She helped his reading abilities grow and in the process his confidence grew as well. Joy made every session fun, and our son came out excited and ready to read another book. As a parent, I appreciated her positive outlook and professionalism. She was really able to quickly find his areas that needed work and zone in on them. We saw positive results really quickly, and we were pleased with his progress. We will use Joy again if we ever need some extra help or review for our son.
My first grader had trouble learning to read; as a professional writer, I found this distressing to say the least. Joy has helped him not only to gain ground in reading proficiency, but also to enjoy reading by increasing his self-efficacy and self-confidence.
Joy was an excellent help to us and our 8 year old son with reading. She went above and beyond by even attending a couple of teacher conferences with us! She seemed to really care and be on our side, while also having the ability to work well to keep our son focused and engaged, when that is often his biggest challenge. She knows her stuff and is easy and fun to work with as well! I highly recommend her to anyone!
Joy Diamond has been working with my son as a academic coach this year. She has always demonstrated professionalism and has made a personal connection with my son that has allowed them to work together in a positive way to achieve his goals. She is patient with students and truly understands their individual needs. She has also helped my son gain confidence at a time when his self esteem was at an all time low. Our experience with Joy Diamond well exceeds our prior experiences with other professionals. I highly recommend her services to other parents without hesitation.
