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.

Highly Recommended Tutor for Writing

Troy has been helping my son improve his writing. There has been very noticeable progress I observed from my son, which I believe is largely due to Troy's knowledgeable, patient and customized tutoring. First, Troy helped my son grow a positive attitude with writing -- from being reluctant or even afraid of writing to feeling comfortable and sometimes even interested in writing down things in his mind. In addition, my son's writing skills have improved a lot under Troy's tutoring -- from grammar, to structure, to flow and to even some creative thinking. The length of the article has also increased from only a few short sentences in the beginning to with quite a few paragraphs filled with details and interesting thoughts. Beyond that, I highly recommend Troy because I think that he took time to understand where my son needed help and customized the way of teaching. I feel that sets Troy apart from other writing tutors I hired for my son before. Last but not least, Troy is very patient, and also fun! I would highly recommend Troy as a writing tutor to people I know.

A Must Have English Tutor

I was a bit skeptical about having a remote tutor. Online schooling during the covid pandemic was challenging enough for my daughter that I decided to homeschool her. Furthermore, my daughter, who was in 3rd grade when she first started with Mr. Troy, didn't have enough exposure to a keyboard. However, my friend strongly recommended Mr. Troy. Today, my daughter, is in 5th grade, and she still gets tutored by Mr. Troy. Mr Troy makes her laugh and makes the lesson fun. His command of English language and its rules are strong. Even I have relearned those comma rules. Mr. Troy has the patience and the temperament to tutor kids. He challenges my daughter's listening skill by calmly stating how he has already explained the question. His schedule is flexible enough, and I can always reach him whenever I have questions or I need to reschedule. Hire Mr. Troy now!

Knowledgeable & Patient Tutor!

Troy helped my daughter with her Lit/comp assignment. Although it was a last minute request Troy offered to help and worked very patiently with her. My daughter was not only able to complete her assignment in time , she is also confident about the book they are reading at school. All this with one session!
