What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy the social elements of teaching. Being able to connect with students and adapt my teaching to fit their personalities and interests is a task I find enjoyably challenging.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe my past experience in education is my strongest skill. In the interim between getting my first degree and starting my second, I worked as a substitute teacher in Loudoun County, USA. During this time, I taught a variety of subjects and specialised in teaching English-Second Language students and Special Education (SPED) students. I therefore have the knowledge necessary to tutor, having already graduated high school and university, as well as the skills to teach children, as evidenced through my role as a substitute.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe all educators need to be able to connect with students. My experience is that being able to build bonds of trust and goodwill goes a long way in opening students up to what you're teaching, as well as facilitating a comfortable environment where students not only learn, but enjoy doing so.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Me
Hi! My name is Troy, and I'm currently studying law at Macquarie University. In addition, I hold a degree in political science from George Mason University and have worked as a substitute teacher, specialising in English Second Language (ESL) and Special Education (SPED) classes, prior to starting law school. If your child needs help in social sciences, history, or legal studies, I'm up for the task of helping them succeed. I'm also adept at English and Spanish, having published several short stories and a novel, as well as having lived in Spain.
