I’m Angie Persing. I live in East Tennessee and am quite literally looking at the Smoky Mountains as I write this. I spent most of my life in Central Maryland, so this type of grandeur still surprises me. I love tutoring because kids really matter to me. I get to be an adult in their lives who reminds them of the Truth that they are so valuable and capable while helping them learn skills that will impact their futures. (I tell my friends, “I love my job!” at least once a week.)

My Values

People First

Your child and their experience in tutoring matter to me. I aim to create an environment that’s connected, inviting, and not stressful.

Growth Mindset

It’s important to me to continually present my students with new learning challenges. When we give them the chance, I believe all young learners can surprise us with their growth!

Learn by Doing

My tutoring is multi-sensory and highly interactive. It’s the best way to learn!
