I had a great experience with Dewey Smart. My daughter was matched with a knowledgeable and patient tutor who made learning much easier and more enjoyable for her. The service was flexible, prompt, professional, and easy to use. I’ve seen a real improvement in her confidence already —highly recommend.

We have been using Dewey Smart for all 3 of our sophomore students for college prep, SAT, and subject tutoring for a year. Tutors are very professional, punctual, and guide you through the process. The scheduling system is simple and supports both students and parents. With larger packages we got a great value for money.

I bought tutoring sessions for all four of my girls - both for general tutoring and for SAT prep. Dewey’s tutoring sessions helped my girls’ understanding of material they were struggling with, and boosted their confidence. Highly recommend.

We are very pleased with the services we received from Emerson and Katelyn! They are both very professional, kind, caring and easy to work with! Katelyn does a great job explaining concepts to our son, making sure he fully understands the concepts and also helps him prepare for upcoming tests and quizzes! My son struggled the 1st half of the school in honors biology and did not really like the class. Since January 2026 he has been doing really well, today he got an A on his quiz! We are thankful to Emerson and Katelyn and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tutor,

Details: High school • Biology • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • The science tutor travels to me

Hi Anita - Thanks again for such great feedback! We've been thrilled to help your son K. improve his Honors Biology and get an A on his quiz. We can see that you've even added more lessons with Katelyn, and it's so great they will continue working together. Excited! 🏆
