Ways to Work with Ms. Joy
Find the Right Support for Your Child
Every student is starting from a different place.
Some need stronger foundations. Some need more challenge. Some need help communicating what they already know. And sometimes you simply need someone to help you figure out what the next step should be.
Explore the options below to find the support that fits your child.

Hi, I'm Jahci Joy.
START HEREWriting & Communications Coach | Curriculum Designer | Educator
For years, I've helped students become stronger, more independent communicators by teaching something that is easy to overlook:
How to think before they write or speak.
Because communication isn't simply putting words on paper or being willing to talk in front of people.
It's understanding what you want to say, organizing your thinking, and expressing it in a way someone else can understand.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in Public Health, and my work brings together education, writing, curriculum design, and communication.
My goal isn't simply to help students complete the next assignment or presentation.
It's to help them develop communication skills they can carry into high school, college, scholarships, interviews, careers, leadership, and whatever comes next.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Start with the Writing Assessment.
If you know your child could become a stronger writer but aren't sure what they actually need to work on, start here.
I'll review a recent writing sample, identify the skills that need the most attention, and meet with you to explain what I'm seeing and what I recommend next.
Best for: Parents who want individualized answers before choosing their next writing resource, curriculum, workshop, or coaching option.
Grades 5–12+
Customized Writing Curriculum with 1:1 Coaching
Personalized Support Built Around Your Child
For students who need individualized instruction, private coaching provides targeted support based on their current writing ability, goals, and areas for growth.
Rather than moving through a one-size-fits-all curriculum, instruction is tailored to what your child actually needs.
Best for students who:
- Need consistent individualized support
- Have specific writing gaps or goals
- Benefit from direct feedback and revision
- Are ready for deeper, sustained growth
4-Week Program
Writing Workshop Bootcamp
Structured Writing Practice in a Small Group
A lower-commitment way for students to strengthen essential writing skills through focused instruction and guided practice.
Students work on transferable skills including organization, reasoning, explanation, and clear written communication.
Best for: Students who would benefit from structured writing instruction without private coaching.
Location: Trinity Klein Lutheran Catholic School
Speak with Confidence with Ms. Joy
Learn to Communicate Ideas Clearly—Not Just Speak Loudly.
A 12-session public speaking and communication program for students in grades 4–8.
Students learn how to organize their ideas, structure and develop a speech, strengthen delivery, manage nerves, and communicate with purpose.
And no—students don't have to be shy to benefit.
A child who loves talking still benefits from learning how to communicate effectively. A quieter child doesn't need to become loud to become a strong communicator.
Best for: Students who are ready to strengthen the way they organize, express, and present their ideas.
College Essay Coaching
Help Them Tell Their Story—In Their Own Voice.
Personalized college essay coaching helps students develop, draft, and revise an essay that is thoughtful, compelling, and still sounds like them.
The goal isn't to manufacture the "perfect" college essay.
It's to help students identify what they actually want to communicate and develop the writing skills to communicate it well.

STILL NOT SURE?
That's alright. You don't have to diagnose the problem yourself.
If writing is your primary concern and you're unsure which support your child needs, that's exactly what the Writing Assessment & Parent Strategy Session is designed to help you determine.
