"I've had nothing but great experiences with Mr. Johnson. He is smart, innovative, and all of my students loved work with him. Hands down, he's the best."

Debbie Bygland 4th Grade Teacher

What to Expect

During this time your student and I will work on the program that we worked out during the Introductory Session. Make sure this session is done before you book an hourly tutoring session with me. Below you will find many of the subjects I can go over and help your child with. Also make sure you check out the "what you'll need" section to get started.

Homework

Any assignments that your student is working on in school we will go over. I will make sure that they understand the lesson, complete the work and feel comfortable that they will be able to complete similar work at school. 


Math & Science

I will work with your student to understand and master state standards and common core strategies. 



Reading

 I will work with your student on their reading so that they will gain confidence in their ability to read, strengthen their vocabulary and work on their comprehension skills.  

Writing

I will help students of any grade level with their writing skills so that their arguments are clear, they have linking supports, the right word choices and help encourage their creative thinking. 



History

I will help your student of any age and grade level understand the historical context they are studying, form arguments for papers or tests and help them think critically about what they are studying. 



Test Taking

 Taking tests can cause many students of all grade levels to have anxiety. I can help your student learn test taking strategies that will help limit this anxiety and bring test scores up.

Cancellation Policy

Lets get this issue right out in the open. Any cancellation done 24 hours before the scheduled lesson will, unfortunately, come without a refund or rescheduling.



Cancellations made with more than 24 hour notice will be allowed to reschedule their session on a date and time arranged with me. There will be no refunds.



If I cancel an appointment you will have the choice of a refund of your money or to have your appointment moved to another day.


What is Virtual tutoring like?

When you set up your Introductory session you will receive a link to either Zoom or Google Meet. On the day of your session around 5 minutes before your appointed time you will log onto the site with your link. Then, I will let your student into the room. If you have trouble logging in contact me so I can help you through the log in. I will walk your student through how everything works and help to make them comfortable with the technology. Then we will go through the introductory session.

Once you decide to book a tutoring session for your student, they will log on just like they did for the introductory session. Then I will begin our session. For math, the students will see a white board on the screen that we will work with to solve problems and also for instruction. For reading the student will see the article that I want them to read and we will work on reading and comprehension. If your student has a homework question, they will share their screen with me and I will help them as they work. This is the generic set up. Your student may have different assignments that we are working on but it will follow the same format. 

At the end of the session I will take any question from you or your student and give some suggestions during the time before our next session.  

What you'll need to get started!

Got a question? Reach out to me I'd be happy to work with you.
  • Virtual Platform Option #1 Zoom

    Tutoring With Mr. Johnson is an online tutoring service. One of the primary tools that I use to support your students is Zoom video conferencing. All that you need to do is download the app. You do not need pay for any Zoom service, I have taken care of that. Zoom is completely safe for your students to use. No one can get into a session without the link that I have provided you and no one can get in without my permission. I can also remove anyone at any time. 


    Zoom provides me a workable platform where I can see the students, watch them work live, give them assignments to work on. With the touch of a button your students can show me their screen, allowing me to see their homework, virtual textbooks and any other assignments so that I can tutor them in what they are doing in class and have a clear understanding of what is happening in their daily school work. 


    All Zoom sessions will be recorded. 


  • Virtual Platform Option #2 Google Hangout

    Tutoring With Mr. Johnson is an online tutoring service. One of the primary tools that I use to support your students is Google Meet video conferencing. You do not need to do anything to access Google Meet other then click on the link you are sent. You will need to email me to receive your link 15 minutes before our session as Google Meet links are not sent with our automated system. 


    Google Hangout is the second option that I offer. Google Hangout offers most of the same tools that Zoom does. Google Hangout does not allow for the students to work on items on my screen which limits what I can do with the students.This platform has worked well for tutoring and is a good secondary option.


    All Google Meet sessions will be recorded. 


  • Computer with a Webcam

    I need to be able to see your student to read facial expressions, see work they may do on paper and to make sure they are focusing.

  • Type of Space

    The student needs a quiet place for the hour so that they can stay focused and have limited distractions. 

  • Microphone & Earphones

    Have a microphone in your computer or headset so that I can talk with your student. 


    Earphones are optional but help limit background noise and keep the students focused.

  • Something to write with

    I recomend small to meduim white bords as students love working with them. 


    But any writing surface will work.
