My daughter has been using DeweySmart for admission counseling, and she is absolutely thrilled with the experience. She has a fantastic counselor who provides clear guidance on academic milestones and college planning. The support she’s receiving has given her greater confidence and direction in preparing for her future.

Thanks so much for this, Elaine! We were thrilled to hear that L's receiving the support she needs from Alexa. Building confidence and staying motivated are important parts of the college admissions process! 😊

Super helpful and friendly. Knew exactly what I needed. Made college stuff way less stressful. Loved how personalized everything was.

DeweySmart: Ivy League Tutors & College Counselors's reply

Wow - It's not every day that we receive such amazing feedback in the form of a free verse poem! 😊 Here's an acrostic poem for you, Zahria. Can you tell what it spells? 📝 That you gave us your trust - means the world to us. Hope we made the journey a little lighter and less fuss. All your goals, your voice, your vision - we made our guide. Navigating college can be tough, but you took it in stride. Know that your path is uniquely your own, and you're ready to rise. Sending our gratitude, Zahria, with support, pride, and high-fives! 🙌

We agree! 🥰 Thank you so much for that, Mery. What's great about our team is that we're all available!
