Professional Teacher'Tên tôi' or 'Tôi tên'?
In my book it says to use 'Tên tôi', but I've also heard, 'Tôi tên'. Which do you think is better?

It's the same. Tôi tên = I am, tên tôi = my name

"Tên tôi" = my name; "là" = is (in this situation). So "my name is Aaron = Tên tôi là Aaron"
But:
"Tôi tên" = I am; "là" in this case just like adverb. "I am Aaron = Tên tôi là Aaron"
In conclusion, they are the same meaning.

They are the same.
Tôi tên là Aaron = Tên tôi à Aaron.
