Bringing joy back to learning — for children and their parents
Joyfully Learning is a private tutoring and educational consulting practice dedicated to fostering kids’ and teens’ strengths, supporting their growth, increasing their confidence as learners, and rekindling their joy in learning.
The academic experience can feel overwhelming —
but it doesn’t have to.
We get it. As parents, it’s hard to see our kids overwhelmed by classwork,
frustrated over homework, or
demoralized by tests.
At Joyfully Learning, we believe that education is supposed to help your child shine – not dim your child’s light.
Welcome to Joyfully Learning
Demystifying education — and inspiring lifelong learners — is what we do.
Joyfully Learning was designed with your family’s needs in mind. We know how important it is to bring inspiration and joy back into learning. We help your children use their strengths to overcome challenges and achieve their goals, and we empower you, as parents, to understand and support how your child learns best.
Hey there!
I’m Caitlin Meister
And I’m so glad you’re here
I believe that kids learn best when they’re having fun. That’s why I started The Greer Meister Group. Our mission is to make sure that every child we work with feels seen, heard, and respected in school and that parents are empowered to advocate for their children’s learning needs. Today, Joyfully Learning at The Greer Meister Group is made up of a team of passionate tutors working with students around the world. We’ll show you how learning can feel joyful again, so you can get back to focusing on the parts of parenting that you actually enjoy.
How We Can Help
At Joyfully Learning, we know the importance of understanding how each child learns best. We use evidence-based methods to foster kids’ strengths while teaching them how to use their strengths to grow in areas they find more challenging. Through private tutoring and educational consulting, we create customized educational experiences based on your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals.
Academic Tutoring

A good fit for:
Our academic tutoring services are designed to support learners at any age or stage! Do you have a preschooler or kindergartener who is learning to read and do math? A child of any age whose needs aren’t being met in the classroom? A tween or teen who would benefit from support developing executive functioning skills? An accelerated learner craving more challenge? Kids who need to do well on a particular test in order to reach their greater goals? A homeschooler interested in a topic you can’t teach? We are here for you.
Self-Directed Enrichment
Kids learn best when they’re having fun! We create customized educational experiences based on your child’s interests. Our students’ past projects have included:

If you want to nurture your kids’ natural curiosity, give them the skills they need to learn outside of the structure of a classroom, grow and feel confident while learning about something they love, or if your child has an interest that wouldn’t be covered in a typical school curriculum, our self-directed enrichment is the right fit for you!
