About Us
Fog City Tutoring & Academic Services was founded on the belief that every student deserves to be academically successful. With schools increasing the pace of the curriculum, often times students need individualized attention to help them better understand, generalize and apply concepts. We are dedicated to providing individualized academic attention, focused on helping students achieve their goals and pursue a career of lifelong learning.
Fog City Tutoring & Academic Services was founded by Johanna Robles Wallace in an effort to make academic support services accessible. We remain committed to keeping our rates low and working with local non-profits. Johanna is an educational therapist with degrees from UC Davis and Holy Names University. She has over 10 years of experience working in the academic sector and strives to provide customized educational experiences to all Fog City Tutoring students.
To ensure the highest quality of service, we hire tutors who have graduated from some of the top universities in the country. We choose to hire our tutors as employees so that we can maintain close contact with them and ensure that student goals are being achieved and that new curriculum is brought into the sessions whenever needed. Every tutor is rigorously pre-screened, annually background checked and comes highly recommended from their past educational jobs.
Fog City Tutoring is dedicated to giving back to the community and offers discounted educational services to Bay Area non-profit groups. Currently, Fog City Tutoring is proud to be working with students from FAME Charter School, Catholic Charities' Refugee Foster
Program and The Edgewood Center. We are always happy to partner with new organizations and encourage such requests. Currently we can only accomodate requests from organizations and not individuals. If your organization is interested in creating a partnership with Fog City Tutoring & Academic Services, please contact Johanna Wallace.

"Fog City is a great service! I have engaged Fog City for some longer term math tutoring for my 12 year old, and let me tell you.. they are incredibly thorough. Johanna makes sure my son understands concepts rather than just having him memorize steps, and she pays attention to his social development as well because (she points out that) how well socialized he is will impact how he does in school academically. She sets a good pace, and is definitely no nonesense, but she is also quick to recognize kids' talents and achievements, and the clear way she explains math my son trips over just warms my heart!"
