At The Prep School, we pride ourselves in hiring and training only the best tutors. Our tutors come from top universities and colleges. We are extremely particular when it comes to hiring because we know what it takes to be an outstanding tutor. Once selected for training, each of our tutors undergoes hours of rigorous instruction in proprietary methods that will help them to tutor in a way that gets the best results from their students. (link to certification process). This certification process sets The Prep School tutors at level above all the rest.

The Prep School treats its tutors with a professional attitude and offers them a long-lasting, certified business opportunity. At other tutoring companies, they simply hire the first unemployed actor that walks in the door. The Prep School invests in certifying our tutors, as we want our customers to know that hiring a Prep School tutor means hiring the best.

We know that the chemistry between a tutor and a student is vital to the success of one-on-one tutoring. As such, we attempt, whenever possible, to pair students with tutors who have similar interests and personalities so that the students both respect and enjoy spending time with their tutor. The Prep School has a steady group of tutors that can work on developing a lasting relationship with students. Our tutors are highly skilled, encouraging, intelligent, and strive to motivate their students to reach for success. The students gain confidence while learning, which in turn makes them much more productive in the classroom and in testing situations.

One-on-one tutoring can provide your student with the missing link when they are struggling in the classroom or with test preparation. Our tutors use all of the latest educational techniques to uncover what it is that your child needs to perform at a higher level.

The Prep School’s Virtuoso tutors are tutors who have been tutoring with The Prep School for longer periods of time and have proven themselves, both in terms of results with students and positive feedback from parents. By hiring a Virtuoso tutor, you are getting the benefit of experience and exposure to a variety of different learning scenarios and environments. For example, a Virtuoso tutor may have tutored students with certain learning disabilities or attention deficits, and this experience puts him or her at an advantage when beginning a tutorial with a student who has a problem like that.

This experience and positive feedback make our Virtuoso tutors a little more pricey, but also makes them harder to attain (they tend to book up early, and fast) and well worth the expense.

Our certified tutors are screened, trained, and certified according to the rigorous standards noted above. They do not have the experience of a Virtuoso tutor. That is the difference.
