ACT TEST PREP

Test preparation is crucial to student confidence, motivation and success.

Goal setting

Test prep needs to be as individualized as students are unique. From the confident test-taker shooting for a top score to the nervous first-timer in need of strategies to curb anxiety, we customize students’ curriculum to their goals, learning style and timetable. We build in regular communication with parents and students to track progress and encourage accountability.

Selectivity and Focus

SAT or ACT? The right test is crucial to student confidence, motivation and success. We begin with a careful assessment of each student’s learning style and generate a personalized strategy with one goal in mind: the best possible score.

Talented, Experienced Tutors

Our ACT test prep tutors are all top scorers, well-trained in our strategies and possessing years of teaching experience. They also share our core values: a deep and wide-ranging curiosity, an empathetic and patient teaching style, and a responsiveness to each student’s unique way of learning.

Practice, Practice, Practice

We provide students with manageable, strategic homework assignments that reinforce skills without wasting time on busy work. We also offer regular full-length practice exams in our office on weekends so students can track progress.

Data-driven Curriculum

We test and re-test our home-grown curriculum, constantly refining it based on data, results and the specific requirements of adolescent learning.

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!

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!

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!

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.
