“We've been working with Dewey Smart for my son's SAT prep. His instructor is very knowledgeable and has been guiding him effectively — always punctual and never reschedules. We've seen a significant improvement in his scores. We highly recommend Dewey Smart.”

“Dewey Smart has been a fantastic partner in our child's academic journey. We began with AP course tutoring and added college counseling. Both coaches have been exceptional — their academic expertise, professionalism, and genuine dedication truly stand out.”

“Dewey Smart is an amazing source of tutoring. As a teenager, their lessons have made my school life so much easier. I meet up for a lesson once or twice a week and work on homework and material from school, and also work on the SAT.”

“As the first-born child of immigrants, it has meant a great deal to have guidance from someone who understands this process. Applying for research felt intimidating, but our counselor's support, explanations, and tips have made the experience feel much more manageable.”
