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?

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! 🏆

Carlos - We’re really glad the College Admissions Counseling process felt clear and manageable for your family. It’s wonderful that your daughter was accepted to so many of the universities she wanted. We know she worked very closely with her coach Kyra, and STEM applications are always competitive. 🎓 We appreciate the opportunity to support her through the process and wish her the very best in college. 🚀
