Easy A started with a simple idea: Abby Owen, a licensed secondary math educator with a B.S. in Mathematics and a Master's in Education, wanted to bring in some income while being a full-time mom. She knew she could help kids genuinely understand math — not just pass a test — and so she started tutoring out of Johnson City. What happened next she didn't quite plan for.
Before long, her husband Kole joined the team to cover science, and then her sister Linzee came on board to round out the trio with English and Writing. Three tutors, three subjects, one family — all rooted right here in the Tri-Cities.
What ties us together is more than just last names. Abby, Kole, and Linzee are all Johnson City-based educators and academic enthusiasts who attended East Tennessee State University at the same time — and who all came away with a genuine passion for learning and teaching. We didn't all plan to end up in the same tutoring business, but looking back, it makes a lot of sense.
Whether your student is struggling to untangle an algebra equation, trying to make sense of a chemistry lab, or staring down a blank page for an essay, there's someone on this team who gets it — and who genuinely loves helping students find their footing. That's the Easy A difference: real teachers, real relationships, and results that actually stick.
