Next steps
How tutoring works
Send an enquiry
A short note about your child is enough to begin.
Complimentary consultation
We contact you to schedule a conversation about your child's needs and goals.
Learning Journey Assessment
Where it is appropriate, we assess how your child learns best.
Individual Learning Plan
We write a plan with clear goals, so you know what we are working on and why.
Tutoring begins
Sessions are scheduled around your family's week — mornings, afternoons, evenings, or summer.
Meet the instructor
Josh Wysong, M.Ed.
Josh holds a Master of Education in Special Education from Grand Canyon University, a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Coastal Carolina University, and an Associate of Arts from Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
As a teacher at Mindful Journey Academy, Josh supports students through a Waldorf-inspired, nature-based approach, and he brings experience working with diverse learning styles and abilities. He is known at the school as a careful observer — the person who notices what a child needs and adjusts the work accordingly.
He also leads the Common Thread Guild, where upper-grade students explore photography, visual storytelling, and design.
A careful distinction
ESTF status, stated accurately
Mindful Journey Academy is an approved South Carolina Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF) provider for our school program.
We are currently working to add tutoring services as an available option for ESTF families. That approval is still being pursued, so tutoring should not be assumed to qualify for ESTF funding today. Families are welcome to inquire about private pay or scholarship-supported tutoring options.
If you are relying on ESTF funding for tutoring, please tell us when you enquire and we will give you the current position in writing.
Payment and scheduling
- Individual sessions or small groups, based on what your child needs.
- Session lengths and formats are agreed at your consultation.
- Meeting times can be mornings, afternoons, evenings, or summer only.
- Rates are shared directly at your consultation so nothing is misleading.
