The salespeople are con-artists. They courted us in the beginning and then ghosted us. We are still due sessions and credits that we'll never see again. Their "near -peer" feature is an attempt to differentiate themselves but the tutors we worked with were disasters. They are busy with their college lives and so they were constantly rescheduling and there were no-shows. Dewey brags about having Ivy League tutors. Every service that. Plus, what does it matter if the tutor is at Harvard if they don't show up for the session. My student was trying to take the SAT in August but couldn't get enough sessions scheduled. We even talked to their rep, Emerson, about it and he said it wouldn't be a problem. But then it was. There are a ton of effective tutoring companies. Prep Pros, PrepScholar, Magoosh, Kaplan, Wyzant, Khan Academy. Choose any one of these before you consider Dewey. In the end my student used another service and hit a 1550. He is now going to a Forbes New Ivies.
