TieuAnh

I have been tutoring for almost 2 decades in math, chemistry, and ACT/SAT test prep. I was awarded STAR student for having the highest SAT score in school. I have a bachelors degree in chemistry from the University of Georgia and I tutor grades 5-college.

Tutoring Style

My tutoring style is highly interactive and student-centered. Rather than simply working out problems and showing students the answer, I focus on asking thoughtful, guiding questions that encourage them to think critically and engage with the material. I believe this approach helps students build deeper understanding, confidence, and independence in their learning. I adapt my methods to each student’s needs, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps while encouraging them to actively participate in the problem-solving process. Overall, my goal is not just to help students get the right answer, but to help them understand how to approach problems, develop strong reasoning skills, and become more confident learners.

Success Story

One of my most rewarding tutoring experiences was working with a student who had ADHD and dyslexia and was struggling to retain math concepts from one session to the next. By breaking problems into smaller steps, using visual aids, and reviewing previous material at the start of each lesson, I helped the student build confidence and consistency. Over time, the student became more independent and began solving problems with much less support. Their grades improved, but more importantly, they developed a stronger belief in their ability to succeed in math.

Hobbies & Interests

Outside the classroom, I like to be, well, outside. I backpacked through Mexico for three months, camping near Mayan pyramids, in rainforests, and on the beaches of Oaxaca. I enjoy wilderness camping and in summer will sometimes set up a mobile hotspot so I can continue tutoring while staying in a remote location. I love to explore the north Georgia mountains, spending time in streams and creeks. I recently added kayaking to my outdoor toolkit and I have subsequently planned additional kayak-based camping trips. In high school, I competed in the regional and state tennis finals. I also played soccer and was a member of the art club. In college, I joined the women’s ping pong team and Army ROTC. I also love to solve puzzles, anything from jigsaw to logic puzzles. Even my truck and moped are puzzles to be tinkered with. My primary passion both in college and now is beach volleyball.
