Lia Tejeda

Founder & Lead Tutor

Tejeda's STEM Tutors & Co. was founded with a simple goal: to help students build confidence and mastery in math and science through individualized instruction.

I am a college student pursuing a double major in Chemistry and Psychology, with a minor in Philosophy. My academic path has given me a strong foundation in both STEM content and how students learn.

I have over 8 years of tutoring experience working with middle and high school students in math, science, and test preparation. My approach emphasizes clarity, patience, and understanding concepts rather than memorization.

Outside of academics, I am a certified EMT and serve as a reservist in the Air Force. I also work in a genomics psychiatry research lab and shadow at the Fixel Institute, experiences that have deepened my understanding of learning, cognition, and human behavior.

My goal is to create a structured, supportive learning environment where students feel confident asking questions and growing at their own pace.

Confidence in learning. Excellence in STEM.
