We've been working with Dewey Smart for my son's SAT prep. His instructor, Khushi, 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 with Yasmin and added college counseling with Joleen. Both have been exceptional — their academic expertise, professionalism, and genuine dedication truly stand out.

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 Kathryn's support, explanations, and tips have made the experience feel much more manageable.

They are very responsive. We had the opportunity to meet more than one college counselor to find the best fit for my son. We're optimistic our counselor will help him prepare his applications over the summer.

We're very pleased with the services we received from Emerson and Katelyn — professional, kind, and easy to work with. Katelyn does a great job explaining concepts to our son, making sure he fully understands them and is prepared for upcoming tests and quizzes.

Dewey tutors have been helping my child with tutoring and test prep, and we've seen grade improvements in just a few weeks. The tutor, Yasmin, is knowledgeable, sweet, and punctual — and our daughter loves her.
