Just2 Philosophy

J2 believes in the importance of meeting the unique needs of students. Most adults acknowledge that success is not only determined by our intellectual abilities or knowledge in our field, but is intertwined with our ability to juggle multiple needs, manage time, persevere, maintain focus, and respond to our emotional and physical needs. J2’s customized approach transcends traditional tutoring by developing lifelong skills and strategies, providing mentoring that builds confidence and independence, while instructing students in academic content areas.

J2 students create study schedules and study rituals, which promote content engagement. We foster productivity, accountability, and integrity through consistent contact ensured by scheduled sessions and check-in calls. Read more…

Regularly scheduled progress meetings, bi-weekly check-in calls with students, or parent phone calls keep everyone informed and allow us to celebrate successes and identify areas for growth. Each of these bi weekly check-in calls function as a satellite to student sessions; they may be by phone or video conferencing. These check-ins allow your child’s tutor/coach to follow up on the academic expectation and communications of today yesterday and tomorrow. Students have an opportunity to share where they have experienced a win, where they feel stuck and articulate how they will engage today in their strategy for success.

Testimonials

  • Self-Regulation

    We were pulling our hair out and communication between with our boy was nil. After two weeks with Just2 we saw improvement and we were talking again. After the first quarter, we began receiving positive teacher feedback that resulted in better grades than we had seen previously.

  • F's to A's

    Our Junior at Fairview quickly turned his ds &fs to a’s & b’s. Just2 turned his helplessness around to independence.

  • 504 & Concussion Protocol

    On October 12 of last year, our son suffered a concussion on the athletic field. J2 help us navigate the school’s temporary 504/concussion protocol. Unfortunately, during his recovery, he began experiencing symptoms of anxiety that we hadn’t seen in years. Fortunately, we had the Just2 Tutoring team to support us through what might otherwise have been a disastrous semester.

  • Direct Instruction

    We had suspected that our daughter was falling behind in reading. But, it wasn’t until Claire’s fourth grade teacher suggested some additional support that we contacted Just2 Tutoring. Clair was paired with a perfect match for her and together they worked through her challenges in decoding, fluency and comprehension. Our J2 tutor used a dynamic approach incorporating Linda-Mood Bell and Orton Gillham methodologies with unique activities that made use of Claire’s own stories to keep her engaged. Last semester she reached her reading goals and was promoted to a reading group with her friends. She is so proud of herself and we are of her!

  • Recent Diagnosis

    Following a period of frustration, we had our son formally evaluated by a local neuropsychologist. We were relieved to find that there was a reason for our frustration and a name for what he had been experiencing. The doctor explained that while ADHD is the diagnosis, it is in the training of executive functions that will assist Jack in compensating for his focus challenges and impulsivity. She suggested that we call Just2 Tutoring for what she referred to as “boots on the ground” support for Jack. J2 set up weekly meetings, accountability calls and progress meetings which resulted in effect organization and productivity. Shortly after that, we saw a significant increase in grades and an improved attitude about school.

  • ACT/SAT & College Preparation

    Our family is very thankful for Jaz and Mike at Just2Tutoring. Our daughter worked with Mike over many sessions to raise her SAT scores over 100 points AND make her competitive for Engineering School. They worked with her through video conferencing on Google Hangouts so location does not matter. So far she has received three acceptances to Engineering Schools including her top choice at University of Colorado Boulder and expects to receive even more.  Also, she has received over $70,000 dollars in scholarships over four years and hopefully more to come. This would not have been possible without the excellent instruction and support of Just2Tutoring. Thank you, Jaz and Mike for being the game changer for Abby. 

    —Carol S. Herndon, VA High School
