Hi Minh,

‘Tired of’ suggests that you have had enough of a particular activity/thing as in: Parents sometimes get tired of the endless questions their children ask them.

‘Tired from’ suggests you are tired as a result of an activity as in: As soon as I sat down, I fell asleep as I was tired from all the work I had done in the garden.
