TESTIMONIALS

Troy explains things so much better than my teacher, and is a lot nicer!

Troy tutored our grandson for just six hours over two weeks, and helped him substantially in learning how to learn, and how to enjoy what he’s learning; huge steps toward a successful transition into college next year. Not only did his grades in his math class improve, but more importantly his self-confidence and his ability to tackle not only math problems, but all kinds of problems, notably improved. He clearly matured as a learner. During each of his sessions and in his preparations for these, our grandson learned to concentrate--to think hard and intentionally; to communicate with and respond to a caring teacher; and to use new skills to incorporate new knowledge. Both he and we are grateful to Troy to guiding him toward having a more mature, optimistic, and confident outlook about all he’ll be learning, all his life.

Troy came highly recommended as a math tutor and we have not been disappointed!  My daughter was struggling in her AP Calculus class and after meeting with Troy just a handful of times her grade went up by 13 points.  Troy is professional, punctual, flexible with meeting times, patient, and, according to my daughter explains concepts very well.   He restored my daughter’s self-confidence when it comes to math, which, to me is the biggest win!

Mr. Troy has helped me with my problem solving skills and memorizing math concepts in Pre-Calculus. My grades have improve a whole letter grade and I owe it to him. He is very available, flexible, and punctual.

Worked with my daughter most of her high school years and explained so much. Highly recommend. Calm, smart and good demeanor for tutoring. He is very approachable and easy to work with.

Troy is an amazing tutor, our son age 15 is doing so much better with his support, and the stress levels have gone way down when there is an upcoming math test."

After taking my first SAT, I realized that I needed to improve my math score. I worked with Troy once or twice a week for just over a month. When I took the SAT for the second time, I felt prepared and confident and my score reflected that - it increased by 120 points! Because of Troy's help, I now have a better chance of being accepted to the college or university of my choice.

My daughter has been working with Troy since she was in 5th grade and now will be rising 7th grader. My daughter is very shy and Troy broke the ice and made her feel very comfortable and confident in solving math problems. She really enjoys his teaching method and she has had straight A's in math since hiring him. I look forward to many years of working with him and would recommend him to anyone who is need of any additional Math training.

Troy tutored my son during his freshman year of high school. I have used other tutors during his middle school years, but nothing seemed to work. Since we hired Troy to come once a week, I could see the improvement in my son's math confidence and grades.

Troy was always accommodating with his schedule due to my son's other activities. He also came and provided extra tutoring before mid terms and finals. Troy made sure that he was prepared for his test and his grades showed it. It was great to see the smile on my son's face when he aced his math final. Without Troy's help this would not of been possible. When my other son started to slip on his math grade, Troy made himself available to help him also and again got him back on track and improving his grades.

We plan on using Troy again this year for tutoring during their Sophomore year. As a working mom, it is nice to have someone that comes to the house for tutoring, it saves me time and my kids are more comfortable studying in their own home and have access to everything they need.

I would highly recommend having Troy tutor your children.

I can heartily recommend Troy as a math tutor. Both my daughters have been tutored by Troy when each was in the 7th grade (there seems to be something about 7th grade math…). One daughter had been getting low grades (once an F as an interim, with a D as the final grade that term). By the end of the year, she had pulled her final grade up to a B. The other daughter had similar results (she ended up getting an award for significant math improvement). Troy easily connected with both of them. They both gained enormous confidence with math and were pleased to realize that yes, they can actually do math. Now one daughter is off to high school geometry. At the first sign of trouble, we will call Troy to the rescue!

Troy Brengle was highly recommended by our sons previous Math tutor for high school Math. Our son is a rising Sophomore and Troy has tutored him since the start of his Freshman year. We are very pleased with the results and would absolutely recommend Troy to anyone who is looking for a great tutor.

We are to continue with him for the rest of the high school for our son. Troy is fantastic at teaching and his help makes a difference!

My daughter went to Troy for SAT tutoring between her June test and her October test. Her test scores increased 120 points!!! She is so happy now that she has a much better chance of getting into the college of her choice. Troy was very accommodating with respect to the meeting times. We will definitely call on him again next semester if she needs help in math. He's awesome!

My daughter started with Troy in January 2017 to help her in Geometry and with his instruction she ended the year increasing an entire letter grade! Troy has a way of explaining the concepts that clicked with our daughter and her confidence in math has improved greatly. We are planning to continue with Troy next year! He's great and so easy to work with.

Many thanks to Troy for helping our son succeed in Math 3 honors! Material was not being taught well in school this past semester when the state changed math curriculum right before school started... After things didn't work out for us with another tutor, our son met with Troy and got an A on the final as a result!

I am a few years out of college, but have decided to change careers, so I'm back in school taking prerequisites. It has been about 9 years since I've taken a math course, so I was overwhelmed in the beginning. Troy was a great help and I'm glad that I hired him. He was accommodating with my schedule and always on time. He was able to explain concepts to me in a way that I was easily able to understand. He was very knowledgeable on all the material. I am currently getting an A in the class! I would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend Troy as a tutor! Troy started tutoring my son in Math III Honors near the end of the first quarter. Although he was doing pretty well in the class, he was getting frustrated with the time it was taking to learn the concepts! Troy was a life saver and made learning math so much easier for Evan! We will be using Troy as a tutor in the future! Making an A in the class was an added bonus!

Troy helped my son as he was doing a 4 week summer Math program at Enloe High School-Troy was immensely helpful to clear my son's doubts, clarify his fundamentals and helped him prepare for his final placement test at his school. Overall, my son had a great experience and found the study sessions very useful. We would use his services again as needed

Troy tutored my son in pre calc this past Spring and helped improve his grade from a C to an A in one quarter. We then used him for SAT tutoring over the summer and my son’s SAT math score went up by 90 points! We are so thankful for everything he has done!

My son has always struggled with Math. We were getting a bit desperate in the fall to find someone to help my son (9th Grade, "Math 1") grasp the concepts and be prepared to take and pass his end of course test. I really wanted to find someone *not* affiliated with the chain tutor programs like Mathnasiam, but someone more personal and flexible. We found Troy through a Craig's list ad and after our very first meeting my son came away feeling much more confident. Troy is flexible both in meeting places and times, but also in the way he's open to approaching lessons and the actual tutoring. My son completed the Math 1 course and is in Math 2 now and is doing the best I've ever seen him do. His academic self-confidence is much higher too. I highly recommend Troy.
