That's why I love being a tutor.
​
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the latest research in talent development and motivation — from Carol Dweck, whose book Mindset revolutionized the education industry, to the simple practice of motivational interviewing.
​
While I primarily tutor English, writing, and general schoolwork, I have also helped students medal in the science fair, make a short film, outline a novel, become a poet and present their poem in front of 200 others, etc... In fact, nothing is more exciting than sharing my love for creativity.
​
I have now hired tutors who specialize in SAT/ACT prep, Chinese, Spanish, intermediate French, and math and science through the college level.
​
Areas in which I work:
-
LA — Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Van Nuys, Studio City and many more!
-
Online tutoring is also available! It's perfect to work on the same Google Doc as a student — it's the perfect teaching tool. Email me for more information (IvyGuideTutoring@gmail.com)
​
I look forward to working with you!
Humanities Tutoring: Text
When I started working with this eighth-grader — let's call him John — he was struggling with ADHD, hated schoolwork, and was prepared to flunk English and social studies.
​
But I engaged with John about what his interests were and showed him how his schoolwork fits into the greater picture of his life. A greater picture he hadn't thought about before. Before long, he could write for a full hour and began getting "A"s instead of "C"s.
​
His mom texted me this...
I have worked with Troup for over two years and I have found him to be dependable and professional. Students respond to Troup because he’s a friendly, engaging and a great listener. I can’t recommend him enough!
