In mid-November my daughter was referred to Troy by a friend. The sessions were a definite game changer - learned to properly write a CRT and a PRT. She ended up increasing her mark significantly, and learned some valuable writing and comprehension skills that will serve her well in her future studies. Very flexible hours as well. Thank you very much Troy!

Great teacher, made it enjoyable learning English and always made sure I understood assignments and etc. Was very easy to study with and helped greatly in essay writing of all forms. The reading comps given were also very helpful for the diplomas.

I was never really the type to love English as a subject, but Troy has definitely changed my opinion about it. He has motivated me towards achieving excellence in all the English courses throughout high school. I especially appreciate all the time and effort he has done to make everything so much more simple during the summer school schedule, which is normally supposed to be overwhelming.Thanks!

Great tutor! Three years of being Troy's student, he taught me how to properly write a CRT and a PRT and got me prepared for my grade 12 ELA 30-1 diploma. I was also able to enhance my reading as we went through many novels, short stories and Shakespeare together.
