Ann Luu
Founder & Owner
I have always had a passion for education and learning, but it wasn't until later in my life that I discovered it was my passion and true calling. I first began teaching my nieces when I was in high school and became my daughters' first teacher in every aspect. As a mother, I believed in the importance of building a love for learning and a high self-esteem.
I head the AVA Learning program, as well as Katy Speech and Debate Academy, and I teach students of any age. I have high standards for both my tutors and my students: responsibility and dedication are two of the most important qualities to me. I look forward to working with you!

I tutor a wide variety of subjects, ranging from early childhood reading all the way to SAT math and calculus. I am an SLHS Class of '23 alumna who participated actively in choir and Girl Scouts.

Petroleum Engineering Major
I enjoy teaching all subjects, and specialize in stem courses. Scored all 4’s and 5’s on AP Calculus, Physics 1 & 2, Chemistry, English Literature, and others. I like to take a flexible approach to tutoring and adjust to student needs, whether they need concept reinforcement or simply someone to check their work.
