Advertising Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pittsburgh, PA

I have extensive experience working in small design studios, mid-size advertising agencies and large corporate environments. I was hired as a designer two months before I graduated from the Ivy School of Professional Art by one of my instructors, who owned a small design firm. I have worked as a designer for the past 35 years. While I have always loved working as a graphic designer, I also enjoyed being chosen to introducing new team members as to company procedure, familiarize them with executing brand for client advertising and instructing them in the software programs that each company used. I can honestly say, that I have been asked to do this at every job I have worked at. Along with understanding graphic design, I have an understanding of the entire process that is needed to create successful messaging that good design exhibits. When working with a student, I believe that there is

This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math and business, specifically statistics and quantitative analysis. Although this teaching experience was with college level students, I have held a summer job working with 8-12 year olds for the past four years. When I finish my Master’s Degree, I may consider teaching at an institution such as CCAC because I enjoy helping others with their education. As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest subject

I believe that every student can successfully learn different subjects if the material is presented to them in a way they can understand. Students vary in how they learn; some learn from reading and others from visuals. I will help to identify which style works best for the student and then tutor them using that style. Another strength of mine is my ability to take complex material and teach it in a way that makes the material easy to understand by simplifying the concepts. I thrive on seeing my students succeed. I have always been interested in tutoring and helping students learn. In high school I tutored elementary students and high school students who were struggling with a variety of subjects. I was an advanced academic student throughout high school. In college I spent time tutoring other college students in my classes to help them understand the new material. I currently am

I returned to school in 2007 to pursue a career in education. In several corporate positions, I was responsible for training new employees in various store operations. I have volunteered as a teacher in my church and taught Sunday School at the middle school level. During my courses and student teaching, I utilized many hands-on and inquiry-based tools to help students learn new concepts. Because I am certified in Elementary Education, I have a solid background in many academic disciplines. I believe in a constructivist approach to education. Stusents come with prior knowledge of topics. My goal is to get those students to connect prior knowledge with new information. I also believe that there are mltiple ways that students learn. They can have multiple intelligences in several areas, such as artistic, kinesthetic, or visual and spatial. My challenge is to assess each student's

Since graduating from college, I have engaged locally in the areas of insurance and financial services, selling and servicing all available products to a growing customer base. This was accomplished by active communication combined with advanced product knowledge dealing with a range of clients from various ages and backgrounds. After assessing the individual's current knowledge of a particular subject matter, a review of the topic's basic rules would follow. The next procedure would involve passage reading and comprehension followed by implementation by putting "pen to paper". As with all cases of subject matter retention, repetition is the key to memory, closely accompanied by an understanding of the material and need for the application of the writing rules for student advancement.

My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and still others are a combination. I work well one-on-one but also enjoy small groups. I look forward to working with you or your children to produce results they can be proud of. I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ame

I love teaching and working with people of all ages. There are so many different ways to learn and it is vital for an instructor to recognize and identify what works best for each individual. I believe that each student should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential. I am very patient and goal oriented. Educator's that take the time to listen to a students question help the students find the correct answer on their own. After receiving a BS in Business Administration from a liberal arts college, I worked for several years in the business world. The majority of my work experience has been in the banking and finance industry. It was through these experiences that I realized my true passion for learning could be shared through training and teaching. The past two years I have been studying to earn my teaching certification. During my course work I have had the opportunity an

I absolutely love working with children! I am currently a "Big Sister" in the Youngstown/Mahoning Valley Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. In the past year, I have watched my "Little Sister" evolve from a shy, rebellious 8-year old to an outgoing, well-mannered, A student. I believe the one-on-one time she and I spend together has played a large role in her transformation. I was able to offer to her, the support she needed to succeed. I am eager to help others learn this same lesson of self-value and education. I am an accomplished and experienced communications professional. My education, as well as my past achievements demonstrate an ability to combine astute oral and writing skills with an impeccable work ethic and drive for success. I have earned a BA in Communication Studies and a MSJ in Broadcast Journalism. My academic career provided me with a solid foundation, which h
