CJLC Tutoring was established in 2009 (originally Christie Johnson’s Learning Center) by dedicated educator, Christie Johnson. In 2025, after sixteen years of working with the Petaluma community, Christie retired and handed the reins over to me (Philip Lehman-Brown).

 

I’ve been working as a tutor with Christie since 2019, assisting students from all grades between kindergarten and college. This was the first and only job I’ve had that doesn’t feel like a job.

 

I remember how difficult, stressful and overwhelming school could be, and having someone help me with schoolwork during those times was incredibly valuable. I strive to be one of those people and hope to continue Christie’s vision of providing a reliable resource for students and families in the community.
