ABOUT JOYEE

Warm Greetings!

Hello, Students and Parents! My name's Joyee. (Pronounced "Joey" like the baby kangaroo). I'm a test preparation expert and personal guide for students in high school pushing hard to achieve their goals - and setting them up for success in their next stage in life.

As a college counselor, test-prep guru, and educational cheerleader, I don't just dole out sagely wisdom and send students home to study; I sit with them, open the book, and talk them through the task, whatever it is.

I'm the expert who's in your corner, just a quick call or text away.
