About
Dewey Smart | Ivy League Tutors & College Counselors The tutors who just crushed the same tests your student is taking. Dewey Smart pairs Grade 6–12 students with near-peer mentors from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and Columbia who recently aced the exact courses and tests your student faces. Why parents choose us: Unlike traditional tutors, our mentors know what works right now—not what worked 15 years ago. They understand the Digital SAT algorithm, current AP rubrics, and what admissions officers actually want to see in 2026. Our Results: • 98% college acceptance rate to target schools • Average SAT improvement: +150 points • Average ACT improvement: +4 points • Average AP score: 4.9/5 What We Offer: Academic Tutoring – Deep mastery in AP/IB subjects (Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, CS, and more). We don’t just patch gaps—we build real understanding. Test Prep – Digital SAT, ACT, AP, and SSAT preparation using adaptive algorithm strategies and current scoring rubrics. College Counseling – Our “Acceptance Architecture” framework helps students discover their unique spike, build data-driven school lists, and craft standout essays. Who we help: Both students who need to catch up AND high-achievers seeking a competitive edge (60% of our students are already top performers). Ready to start?
