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,

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! 🏆

Dewey tutors have been helping my child with tutoring and test prep as of right now and we have seen grade improvements in just a few weeks. The tutor, Yasmin, is very knowledgeable, sweet and punctual. She knows what she is going and our daughter loves her.

I went in not knowing how to do many pieces of the admissions process, and came out of this tutoring program with fully completed applications and knowledge of how to do them. They provided the guidelines for me to follow to create a complete application. I had Avi Lockner, and he made my college admissions process go from stressful and uncertain to achievable. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this! We’re so glad the process went from stressful to achievable and that Avi was able to guide you with clear structure along the way. Finishing with completed applications and confidence is a huge win—wishing you the best in what’s ahead! 🧭

We have been using DeweySmart's service for a few months to help my high school senior kid with his AP Physics class. It seems to be helping him quite a bit because we noticed his grade has gone up. Our son's tutor has been very thorough when explaining things and has been pretty flexible when scheduling tutoring sessions. We're pretty satisfied with the service so far and we'll continue to use the service.

Thanks for those 5 Stars, Ray! We’re really glad to hear that your son has been making progress in AP Physics tutoring and that his grade improvement is starting to show. ⚛️ It’s great that the sessions have been helpful and that the scheduling flexibility has worked well for your family. Senior Year can get busy! We appreciate you trusting the Dewey Smart team to support him and look forward to helping him finish the year strong. 🚀
