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