Our Founder Michael Gao scored a 36 ACT and a 1550 SAT and understood the value of providing near-peer mentorship to students hoping to learn what it takes to enter top universities. He started Dewey Smart in his Columbia University dorm room, and since then, our team has grown to help students across the United States achieve their goals! Our Team of 50 Ivy League Tutors and College Counselors are valedictorians, research scientists, entrepreneurs, wealth managers, AP Scholars, National Merit Scholars, and all-around impressive members of their communities who enjoy working with students of all backgrounds. All of our services combine 1:1 mentorship with end-to-end support, a wealth of incredible academic and extracurricular resources, and years of leadership experience across the higher education landscape.

Academic Tutoring: Our goal goes beyond teaching students content to help them firmly grasp the underlying concepts across every subject. Schedule sessions any day of the week, at nearly any time! Each session, we'll provide everything necessary, but we're also happy to address your individual syllabus and lesson requests.

We ensure they stay on track! Test Prep: We offer sessions in SSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IB, AP, & More! Because we only work with students 1:1, they get the individual attention they need to improve efficiently. We even offer complementary Diagnostic Tests for students to assess their current level of understanding, and we design personal plans to target key weaknesses.

I was very impressed with Ivy League Tutors and Admissions Counselors! We used them both for SAT support, and with help through the college application process. I really liked the flexibility they offered and the opportunity for my daughter to connect with peers for support. As a result, my daughter was accepted to several top schools. Highly recommend.

My daughter worked with a DeweySmart tutor to complete her application/essays to transfer to the University of California San Diego. Her tutor was very helpful with productive advice, and she was able to meet when it worked with my daughter's schedule. With gratitude to our tutor, my daughter was accepted into UCSD.

My tutor Rishma Vora helped me a lot with AP World History tutoring. She is great with explanations and going through each question thoroughly and making it easy to understand. I have definitely learned a lot with our meetings.
