A conversation about your student
Know what to expect before you book.
A free consultation is a place to discuss tutoring, test preparation, or college applications—and decide whether Dewey Smart can help.
Book my free consultYour free 25-minute consultation
A parent or guardian meets with a Dewey Smart advisor; students are welcome. Discuss your student’s goals, current challenges, and timeline. If there’s a fit, we’ll recommend the support and mentor profile to consider next.
What to expect & how booking worksThe conversation
Three things to talk through.
01 · Your student
Start with the current need
Tell an advisor about the subject, test, or application you need help with, your student’s goals, and your timeline.
02 · Your questions
Discuss the support
Ask about mentor fit, the work a package covers, total hours, session length, and scheduling. You don’t need to know which package to choose.
03 · Next steps
Decide whether there’s a fit
If we can help, we recommend a scope of support and mentor profile to consider. The consultation does not commit you to a package.

Questions
Before your consultation
Is this only for college admissions?
No. You can ask about subject tutoring, homework, PSAT/SAT/ACT preparation, AP support, or college applications. Middle-school families can ask about subject needs and mentor availability.
Will this be a tutoring session?
The consultation is a conversation with an advisor about needs and fit. Separate one-hour trial packages are available for high-school tutoring and PSAT/SAT/ACT preparation.
What happens after the call?
If there is a fit, we recommend the scope of support and mentor profile to consider. Ask about session length, frequency, and package terms before deciding.
