Our Story

We believe that all children are capable of learning though it may be at their own rate. We also believe that students learn in different ways through various teaching styles, which can be enhanced through one-on-one tutoring.

Having worked for 30 years in the Muscogee County School District, Ms. Pat Brooks’ creation of Anew Tutoring and Enrichment Center was more of a calling than a desire to own a business. In April of 2012, while pursuing a Master’s degree from Columbus State University in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis on Reading, her faith in God led her to open the Center. Through her work with students both in the Reading Recovery Program and as an academic instructional coach, she realized that for students to begin to reach their full potential there was a tremendous need outside of school walls and school hours for academic support and resources.

“I have found that when children need tutoring help they often also need other types of support. They need nurturing, they need care, they need encouraging, and they need a second chance to believe in themselves,” Brooks says. “That’s what we provide - as much of that as we can.”

Our tutors are certified teachers, with a combined total of more than 50 years of teaching experience, are highly qualified to provide explicit and engaging tutoring lessons for students in grades K-12 at affordable prices. Prep services also are available to prepare students and adults with taking higher educational assessments such as the ACT, SAT, and ASVAB.


When it came to naming this new business, Brooks own daughter made the recommendation of “Anew.” While she felt the word and its meaning were appropriate, Brooks may be more moved by why her daughter suggested Anew as the name. “She told me that she could see my passion for giving children a second chance. The fact that she recognized that in me means so much,” Brooks expressed.
