INSPIRED TUTORING

Tungsten Prep helps students achieve their potential and find joy in learning.

LET'S GET IN TOUCH

Tungsten Prep reflects our values for success — rational, realistic, results-oriented, compassionate and, especially, family-centric. We believe students thrive when they find that just-right tutor who understands their individual learning style, inspires them to work harder, and, hopefully, makes them laugh. Our team is motivated by Thomas Edison’s conviction that success is the product of grit, self-belief, and a willingness to learn from failure. These are the values we strive to instill in our students.

The Tungsten Prep Process

Finding the best tutor for your student.

Schedule a consultation

We’ll assess your student’s unique needs, develop a customized plan, and answer your questions. After the consultation, complete your intake on the phone or online.

Meet your tutor

We will introduce you to your new tutor as soon as you complete intake. We take care to match each student with a tutor who best suits his or her ideal tutor schedule, learning style, and specific goals.

Start learning and growing

Begin your lessons! Your student and tutor will dive deep into the subject matter, build study habits and set goals. We send detailed reports after each session to keep students motivated and parents informed.

What will personalized tutoring mean for you?

Less Stress

Enjoy a flexible and customized plan that fits your student’s learning style, goals and busy schedule. Our one-on-one approach means students work smarter and improve grades. We help students rediscover the joy in learning.

More Confidence

Your student needs more than a quick-fix homework helper. Our methods encourage students to build strong foundations in math, reading, writing and critical thinking. Students improve work habits and learn to be accountable to themselves – today in the classroom and tomorrow on the college campus.

Better Support

Managing school and standardized tests has never been more complicated for parents. Students see better results when parents are empowered and informed. We’ll send you detailed reports after each tutoring session and your dedicated parent outreach coordinator will check in regularly to answer questions and share our expertise.

Flexible Tutors Who Go the Extra Mile

Tungsten Prep has tutors who are very flexible, always go the extra mile, and can help with a wide array of academic needs. They helped our 16-year-old son get through the rigorous demands of junior year. We’re not sure what we would have done without them!

Tutors that Understand Students

Our daughter really enjoys (!) working with our tutor and finds her style and approach helpful and engaging. Her tutor meets her ‘where she is.’ Tungsten Prep hires tutors that really understand students. I appreciate that our tutor has experience with both middle and high school students. She relates to the challenges our daughter encounters with the volume of material she has to learn in her Spanish class. Her tutor is really preparing her for her final exam. I am hopeful the strategies they are working on will help her as she moves into Spanish 3 in 10th grade.

Tutors that Do Outstanding Work

I want to let you know how wonderful our test prep tutor was. He did an outstanding job with our daughter and exceeded all of our expectations in terms of being prepared. This preparation allowed him to meet our daughter where she was and improve her readiness for the SSAT. He gets my highest recommendation. Thank you for the great choice!

Test Prep Tutors that Build a Great Rapport With Students

Our daughter loves working with her ACT tutor. They have a great rapport. I’m impressed with her too. I’ve chatted with her about strategy, and she always proposes a thoughtful, insightful approach. I left a review on Google and read some of the other reviewers’ many positive comments. Thank you very much for connecting us with one of your Superstars. I feel like a VIP!

A Focus on a Perfect Tutor Match

Our Math and Physics tutor is a perfect match for our daughter. She looks forward to working with him and readily acknowledges how helpful he is. He really has a wonderful way about him, boosts her confidence, and teaches all at the same time. He’s a delight and a big success.

Professional Tutors Who Listen

We’ve tried a number of tutors in the past, but the professionals at Tungsten Prep were the best we’ve worked with by far! They really listened to what we needed, and their ability to understand how a child learns best and work to their strengths was amazing. We are so happy to have found them!

Mother of Three Burke School Students

Encouraging, Motivating, and Intelligent Tutors

Our SSAT tutor was fantastic! He was so encouraging, motivating, intelligent, and had just the right balance of staying focused without making our son feel pressured or stressed for his SSAT prep. They really connected, and I’m not sure I would have gotten my son to study for the exam if it weren’t for our tutor. Your company is fortunate to have him!
