Meet Krish, our founder
Krish studies at Cornell University and was also admitted to Penn. He scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT and earned a 5 on every AP exam he took — and he competed for Team USA in chess. He started Ivystar to give every student the same strategy-first preparation that got him there.

Families who've been there
★★★★★
SAT 1400s → 1550“Krish was the best tutor I could have ever asked for for the SAT. Thanks to his hard work I went from scoring in the 1400 range to scoring a 1550 on my SAT and getting into the ivy league! I also scored a 5 on my AP Statistics exam and raised my GPA under his guidance.”
★★★★★
SAT: 1520“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! MY LIFE IS CHANGED I LITERALLY GOT MY SAT SCORE IN THE MAIL AND I SCORED A 1520!! I CANT BELEIVE IT I WOULDVE NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS POSSIBLE JUST 2 MONTHS AGO! THANK YOU IVYSTAR!!!”
★★★★★
AP Calculus: 5“Krish has been a mentor and a coach to me in so many ways. He single handedly prepared me for my AP calculus exam and I scored a 5. Additionally his guidance helped me excel in my university calculus course as well. He is one of a kind.”
★★★★★
A+ in Biology“My Ivystar tutor helped me learn college level biology and went beyond the AP course. I was able to get an A+ (4.3 gpa) in the class and turned my worst subject into a grade booster.”
