My most recent endeavor was working in cooperation with others to establish a Writing Center at National University. Graduating with honors and a Master's degree in Secondary Education-English and later a Doctorate in Etymology, I recognize hard work and attention to detail produces 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 the 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 instruction disruptions. Two makeup sessions are allowed in each lesson plan.

To offer students a comfortable environment 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.

Highly Recommended

I hired Troy to help my son excel in his writing for high school Honors English class. After just a few lessons, I have seen a noticeable improvement in my son's writing. Also, Troy is very patient and understands the material well. He takes time to discuss my son's performance and progress with me. It is very hard to find tutors who don't feel rushed, with their busy schedules. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good English tutor.

Patient and fun tutor

Mr. Troy M. is a really good teacher and I like him a lot because he is patient and fun. He explains concepts in a way where it is not boring and you are paying attention without getting bored. Mr. Troy M. also has taught me certain writing rules which I didn't previously know such as try not to use which and that. Overall, I am happy with his class and I would recommend Mr. Troy M. as a tutor. P. S. I am a 5th grader.

Intelligent and patient tutor

Dr. Troy was beyond amazing and patient with me. I have not written an essay in a long time, and he took the time to go over the basics. He gives his student essay outlines that are beneficial when writing an essay. He taught me to do the thesis LAST and focus on the topics instead. He was really inspiring and intellectual! He has an easy going persona and I felt comfortable enough to ask questions.

Jessica, 1 lesson with Troy

Helpful and understanding.

Troy helped peer-review my assignment and we went over all of it with me in detail and provided a lot of information about writing at a college level. He was very helpful and is passionate about his work. I received an A in my class!

So glad we found Troy!

Troy is a absolutely fantastic tutor. Our school system is going from in classroom learning to virtual week by week. Troy is keeping him on track. He is so knowledgeable on anything that we throw at him. My son is totally enjoyed working with him and has such a better attitude for English now.

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.
