About

Ivy League Mentors. From freshman year of high school to freshman year of college.

Dewey Smart is a team of current Ivy League students who support students through their entire educational journey with academic tutoring, test prep, extracurricular counseling, and college application support.

Our founder -- Michael -- scored a 36 on my ACT and a 1550 on my SAT. He was also a National Merit Finalist, and was accepted into Columbia University (where he graduated), the Wharton School of Business, and Brown.

Our team of mentors are just as accomplished. Our counselors founded startups in high school, were top in the nation for computer science and math, and researched with tenured professors.

Our platform combines 1-1 mentorship with topic review videos, high school planning frameworks, and an extracurricular opportunity database, so that your student will always have a plan.

Let our team of smart, empathetic Ivy League mentors guide your student into their dream school.

For academic tutoring:

Our goal goes beyond teaching students content to teaching students how they can learn the content themselves. Students who want to work with us for the long-term will first take a proprietary cognitive assessment that will let us understand their strengths and weaknesses, and build a personalized learning plan with data-backed study strategy recommendations. Then, each session, we will teach your student AND make sure they are staying on track.

For test prep:

Because we only work with students 1-1, our curriculum is totally personalized. Students will first take a diagnostic test. We'll analyze it for their weaknesses and strengths. Our diagnostic goes beyond the surface and digs into the specific types of questions students are missing the specific reasons why. We'll come up with a personalized game plan to efficiently improve your student's score.

For admissions counseling:

Our platform combines empathetic 1-1 mentorship with a world of resources and opportunities. Older admissions counselors will advise students to be "well-rounded". However, these days, admissions officers are looking for students that have a clear passion. As such, we connect students with internships and extracurricular activities that will help them pursue their passions in high school. Then, in senior year, we'll help them package their resume with a clear theme and personal essays that will help them stand out from the pack.

    I have been working with Dewey Smart for my son’s 8th grade ELA class. His tutor is professional, punctual, and flexible. I appreciate that they update me with the topics covered, areas of needs, and they assign homework based on the needs. I am planning to continue with the team for his high school classes!

    Dewey Smart helped our teen launch his SAT score to a 1450 on the first try! On the second try, he received a 1520. The sessions were invaluable! Highly recommend. Now the hard part, picking a college!

    I just got done working with Dewey Smart, and I have no complaints whatsoever! They are very on top of things and knowledgeable about the college admissions process. I submitted my application to several Ivy League schools just a few nights ago, and regardless of if I get in, I believe my chances were wildly improved with their essay help. They are quick in responding, excellent at their work, and the prices are more than fair.
    5 out of 5 from me!

    We hired Dewey Smart to help our daughter with the college application process & test prep for her ACT/SAT tests. So far, our daughter has been working with her Ivy League College Counselor on her supplemental essays and on gathering information for scholarships, school lists, etc. She is also working with her Tutor on improving her SAT score and gaining extra practice in different AP subjects. The entire team has been amazing! It has been a huge relief for our daughter, and us as well, to have extremely bright and knowledgeable advisors helping to ensure that she has what she needs to move forward in this process! Everything has gone extremely well, and both advisors are very professional, and very helpful. We get an update after each session stating what they worked on and what she’ll be working on in the next session. They are very easy to contact, and we are very, very happy with our decision to hire Dewey Smart!

    My son told me that his hour-long tutoring session today felt like 10 minutes and that it was fun! He understood the material enough to work his way successfully through the end of the lesson independently. Worth every penny!
