Schedule a free consultation“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.”

Common Questions from Families
What makes Dewey Smart different from traditional counselors?
Traditional counselors are often decades removed from the process. We use a "Near-Peer" model, matching you with mentors currently at Ivy League schools who navigated the exact same competitive landscape you are facing right now.
When should we start admissions counseling?
We recommend starting in Grade 9 or 10 for profile development (choosing the right extracurriculars and narrative). By Grade 11, we shift focus to specific application strategy and college lists.
Do you help with the Digital SAT?
Yes. Standardized testing is often part of our comprehensive roadmap. Our tutors scored in the 99th percentile and can integrate test prep seamlessly into your admissions timeline.
