Graduating with honors and a Master's degree of Secondary Education-English, I recognize hard work and attention to detail produce success in education.

As a devoted educator: two years as a student teacher, three years as a college professor-I recognize creating successful students is a responsibility crucial to forming a successful community. A complete education provides establishment of knowledge - a vital article in a productive life. I specialize in tutoring English, grammar, literature, math, vocabulary, and writing for success in elementary, middle, and high school. College composition, literature, and creative writing are also within my specialties.

I try to allow flexibility with my time. While I have established a 24-hour cancellation policy, makeup sessions are available to accommodate possible disruptions of instruction. Two makeup sessions are allowed in each lesson plan.

To offer a comfortable environment for students to work with me, I tutor in virtual classrooms, cell phones, and other modern platforms. For convenience to older students and parents of younger students, I travel to locations closer to students as required.

My excitement to meet new students can only be matched by my desire to improve their grades and education. I await our journey together.

Easy to relate to and patient

Troy helped my son focus and get his head around an assignment that he was overwhelmed with. He now has the confidence to start the task independently and spend time with Troy reviewing his work. This is exactly what: I want someone to help my son learn how to complete his work independently. We look forward to working with Troy again.

Tricia, 7 lessons with Troy

Best tutor I have ever worked with

Troy is the most knowledgeable tutor I have ever worked with. For every paper I have ideas about, he knows every small little fact to think about. But he does not just only help me with my papers he also makes it fun and if I finish with time to spare he even knows how to help with my math questions. Best. Tutor. Around. Best money I have ever spent. Worth every second.

Patient, kind, and understanding

Troy M. is one of the best tutors I've ever used for my grandchildren. He is patient, kind, and understanding. He takes his time to get to know a student, so that he can personalize the sessions foe the student to get the most benefit. His approach makes it easy for a parent to encourage their children. In other words a student would look forward to the next session because of his tutoring style. I highly recommend him for reading and writing.

Sylvia, 12 lessons with Troy

Excellent tutor with excellent feedback

My computer died and so did my phone but Troy still managed to provide feedback. He was very knowledgeable and his background as a Comp professor really enhanced my lesson. I am confident that with his help I am sure to get a good grade. He pointed out things I have never took into consideration while writing.

Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Troy keeps things simple and easy. He will also throw in a few jokes to keep the mood light. He is on your side and there to help you understand the material so you are successful. This is the first time I've used this service, but should I need additional help I will be reaching out to Troy.

Kira, 1 lesson with Troy

Great Tutor!!

Taught me a brand new way of constructing intro & body paragraphs that make an argumentative essay so much easier to write. Troy took the time to help me build my intro paragraph as well and reconstructed my thesis so that it was much more strong and direct. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor!
