    Mr. Johnson is very aware of how his students assimilate and master new material. He has no problem in modifying a lesson on the fly if it is clear that his student is struggling. He has a manner that allows for students to feel comfortable in sharing they are struggling with material and a way of backing up and covering previous material without making students feel put down or that they “should know this by now” (even when perhaps they should have!).

    Mr. Johnson has an AMAZING re-pore with adolescents. He is able to raise their self esteem while still holding them accountable. Both of my teenage daughters have been tutored by this incredible teacher. My oldest daughter worked on some SAT questions and strategies and felt it helped her understand the process and the SATs questions purpose. Mr. Johnson has been a part of our family for four years, it has been a valued relationship and money well spent.

    Frequently asked questions

    I always start with these questions, with the parent present, and I tell them they must answer truthfully:

    1.  Are you going to class?

    2.  Are you staying awake?

    3.  Do you ask questions in class?

    4.  Are you doing your homework? (Doing does not mean copying another student's work.)

    5.  Do you check your answers and ask questions when you get one wrong?

    Beyond that, in a perfect world, a tutoring session should have the student's homework already done. You're not paying for a homework babysitter! We can then address any questions relating to the homework then move on to the next section so the student is prepared for the next lecture in advance.

    I have a full, clear CA teaching credential specializing in math.

    I also have an MA in Secondary Education and a BS in Medical Microbiology with a minor in Chemistry.

    My rate is dependent upon where the student is but, in general,

    my standard rate is $50/hr.  .

    My military rate is $40/hr.

    I'm licensed and insured.

    I worked for six years in an HIV rsearch lab at UCLA.  When my fuding from the National Institutes of Health ran out I turned to teaching.

    I have worked with students as young as third grade and as old as being in college.

    I have worked with students with ADD, ADHD, Autism, Depression, Diabetes, Amxiety Disorder, Adjustment Reaction and Alcoholism.

    In general, my students are either performing poorly and want to do better or have a really high grade and don't want to see the grade drop.

    I got almost $500 in gift cards from my students last Christmas!

    Interview, check references then go with your gut.
