Since its inception, Tusk has grown into a fully functioning IT consulting company specializing in one on one support. Tusk provides quality tech support with a smile, making personalized service the cornerstone of our values.
Tusk professionals, like elephants, make an impression...
At Tusk, we know that students are the future.
It is a fact that kids under the age of 21 are significantly more likely to have over triple the computer knowledge than their parents, and quintuple their grandparents.
It is a fact that the average parent finds that their 4th grade child is more technologically proficient than than they are.
It is a fact that all Tusk professionals have spent at least one of their high school or college years on their computers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
On the other side of things...
According to the National Institute of Health, more than 43 percent of elderly people experience extreme loneliness.
We kill two birds with one stone. Tusk professionals will provide clients with top tech support while simultaneously making a connection and fostering a relationship with them. The average Tusk professional's base level understanding of technology, paired with our rigorous training program makes our team unstoppable in the world of IT. Tusk's central values of community and of relationships with our clients make us unstoppable in the world of empathy.
Tusk is made of and founded by students; that's what makes us qualified.
All of our services are personalized – ranging from printer and Wi-Fi installations, to setting up dating profiles. Hardware related services require familiarity with the product on our end, so before any meeting we will always call to discuss what service our client is looking for.
Sheila, New York City
"Drew has been my computer consultant for the past two years. He helped me set up and trouble shoot any issues in the use of my new Apple iMac. He is knowledgeable about the iMac and he is an excellent teacher. He is reliable, dependable and extraordinarily competent. He is good humored and respectful and it has been a pleasure to work with him. I recommend him highly and I would say that anyone who hires him will be lucky to have him."
