Just2 Tutoring Testimonials

Posted January 30, 2018

Here’s what a few parents have said about Just2 Tutoring recently:

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. – Patty S., Centennial Middle School Parent

Our Junior at Fairview quickly turned his ds &fs to a’s & b’s. Just2 turned his helplessness around to independence. –Bob N., Fairview High Parent

Transitions

Change does not come easy in our family. So, when we saw the leap from middle to high school looming, I knew we were going to require some assistance. Our sixth-grade counselor recommended that we speak with Just2 Tutoring. They made it easy to get started with a cost that fit inside our budget. J2 was the perfect fit to both prepare for and relieve the anxiety of the transition. –Andrea B., Niwot High Parent

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. –Stacy H., Monarch High Parent

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! –Leslie Y., Foothills Elementary Parent

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. –Frank N., Southern Hills Middle School Parent

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

Support for Education & LifeI’ve had a wonderful experience with Just2 Tutoring throughout high school. Mike and Jaz have provided me with support in classes that greatly improve my GPA, ACT, and SAT scores. They helped me pursue my passions of business and music outside of school, aided my family on the college application process, and have continued to be my allies even after I’ve graduated from high school. Just2 Tutoring is more than a tutoring service. Both Mike and Jaz build a connection with the student – not only providing tutoring but support for extracurricular activities and life coaching. They have vast knowledge of many different subjects taught in school, helping with classwork and developing understanding of the topic. They introduce techniques of studying, planning, and organization that are helpful for balancing the many classes students are taking. All of these skills continue to be helpful in the future. They offer support with the ACT and SAT, providing helpful tips, training, and practice with previous tests. They have a system of tutors who work under them to support students who need more in depth help in subjects such as foreign languages or advanced math courses. In my experience, Just2 Tutoring is extremely helpful for any student in school, offering support for both education and life. –Nico A., SanDiego, CA

Peace at Home

This is the first Google Review I have ever written, because it’s the first time I have felt so compelled to share my thoughts about an organization. My son began working with Just2Tutoring after a terrible start to his freshmen year of high school. His father and I were hoping that once middle school was behind him, he would find his classes more engaging and that there would be greater opportunities to broaden his social circle. Instead, my son entered a larger and more demanding environment deficient of the most critical tools to succeed in high school, especially those involving executive functioning. For him, the move to high school was like being airdropped in Peru, and he spent the first semester wandering around, wondering why other students seemed to understand the language of the new environment, while rapidly finding himself among other’s who also lacked the navigation skills to succeed. A friend of mine, a former client of Just2Tutoring, who’s son was thriving in high school, learned of my son’s struggles and recommended Just2Tutoring. By this time, our home had become a bit of a war zone, because we knew our son was bright and capable and was just not producing. As parents, we were constantly arguing about supporting our son, or punishing him. What a relief it was when I contacted Just2 and was embraced by Jaz, a family therapist and the company’s co-owner. She completely understood my son’s needs and met with us almost immediately, including my son in his first session with one of their tutor/coach/mentors. My son entered the session begrudgingly, but after just an hour with a coach/tutor, left with a smile. It was the rapport my son developed with Just2’s unique staff of mentoring coaches that set them apart from the numerous tutors we had visited in the past. The tutor/coaches not only supported my son academically, but as a member of our family as well as his community. He learned how to communicate and develop relationships with teachers, which fostered measurable academic growth and almost immeasurable personal growth. Today, my son is a completing his junior year of high school almost unrecognizable from the student he entered freshmen year. We are confident he has developed the focus, time-management skills, and, above all, the confidence and integrity that will be required in college and in the years beyond. We are so grateful we found Just2Tutoring and their extraordinary team. Our only regret is we didn’t contact them years earlier, equipping our son with the tools prior to entering middle school and high school, when mastery of executive functioning skills becomes critical in these more complex environments. Cheryl K., Fairview High School

Life Long Relationships

I have been working with J2tutoring for about four years and couldn’t be more happy with them. Over the last few years I have not only learned a lot about how to study better but also made lifelong friends with my tutors. Maybe it sounds cheesy but it’s true. Miles R-M, Fairview High School
