About the Owner - Tyler Buffone
My name is Tyler Buffone, and I am the founder and owner of Tutor Advance. My passion for tutoring began in 2011 when I got my first tutoring job, teaching guitar to elementary school students. As the 2010s progressed, I continued to hone my tutoring skills through peer tutoring, further solidifying my commitment to education.
During my high school years, I consistently strived for academic excellence, ultimately graduating among the top three students in my class. This achievement reflects my strong work ethic and deep commitment to learning—qualities I now bring to every tutoring session.
As I pursued my university education, I transitioned to more professional tutoring roles. With extensive experience tutoring students across various platforms and private sessions, I have developed a deep understanding of how to tailor learning strategies to individual needs.
In 2020, I founded Tutor Advance, growing the company while completing my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a Concentration in Accounting. My academic background also includes advanced mathematics courses, such as calculus, discrete math, and differential equations, which enhance my ability to teach complex subjects.
As of 2024, I have 13 years of tutoring experience, specializing in mathematics, physics, academic writing, English language arts, business administration, accounting, and economics.
My tutoring approach centers on personalized active learning, which involves tailoring educational experiences to each student's unique needs while actively engaging them throughout the learning process. This approach ensures that students not only absorb information but also apply it through interactive activities, fostering a deep understanding, better retention, and the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills. Additionally, I leverage technology to deliver a comprehensive, flexible, and unparalleled educational service.
Throughout my tutoring career, I have transformed low-achieving students into high achievers and have nurtured high-achieving students, helping them realize their dreams, including acceptance into top universities like Carleton University and the University of Alberta.
This commitment reflects my vision for Tutor Advance—Empowering Future Leaders Through Mastery and Innovation. I aim to uplift low-achieving students and help high-achieving students develop the knowledge and skills they need to become future leaders in their chosen fields, whether it be medicine, law, business, or politics.
I am always eager to connect with students, parents, and educators who share my passion for learning and personal growth. Whether you're seeking to improve academic performance, explore new subjects, or want to discuss how Tutor Advance can help you achieve your goals, I would love to hear from you. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and create a brighter future!
