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.

I’m so thankful we found the Dewey Smart Team. My daughter was really struggling with physics and needed help fast. They paired her with Kathryn, and she’s been amazing. The pricing was affordable compared to others we checked out. Best of all, my daughter went from feeling stressed and worried to confident and so much happier. Highly recommend!

Details: High school • Physics • I travel to the science tutor • The science tutor travels to me • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting)

Helping students go from stressed to confident is exactly why we do what we do 💪. We’re so glad we could support your family and appreciate your kind words and recommendation! 💙

Dewey Smart was absolutely an integral aspect of my college application experience. As a rising senior, I initially felt lost in the process and didn't know where to start, but Dewey Smart counselors helped me through the whole process, from making a college list to fine-tuning an essay. I'm proud to share that with their expert help, I was admitted to Princeton University and John's Hopkins University!

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! 🙌

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.
