Jennifer L. says, "Our daughter had college goals in which every point mattered - on her GPA and ACT. We looked at several options for test prep and Joyee had a very no-nonsense, personalized approach. We saw an eight-point increase on her ACT which contributed to not only early acceptance, but a scholarship at a prominent UC school. If results matter, call Joyee. I don’t know how he does it, but he did. Proud of them both." Read more

As a mom to 4 kids (elementary age through high school), I know the importance of patience and kindness when it comes to learning. With math, even more so. I focus on challenging kids who love math and also taking the student who says “I’m not good at math” and helping them discover they are more than capable. I’m a nationally certified tutor with 15 years of teaching experience. Available for in person tutoring in Huntington Beach, California and surrounding areas. Online tutoring available nationwide.
