Hear from the families and students we've worked with.
We're incredibly grateful to Kate Fisher Tutoring for the exceptional support throughout our daughter's high school admissions process. Jacquie's strategic, no-nonsense approach strengthened our daughter's skills, confidence, and performance under pressure. What began in the mid-range evolved into performance within the highest competitive band in multiple sections—a testament to both disciplined preparation and expert guidance. The growth was significant, and the results followed. Highly recommend for families seeking rigorous, effective test preparation.
Amazing experience both for myself and my daughter! The preparation was amazing and the lessons seem less and enjoyable! Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of partnering with Kate Fisher Tutoring this past fall to help our son prepare for the ISEE. We worked with Grace and cannot thank her and the Kate Fisher team for all of the time and effort that they spent with us. Grace is an amazing tutor who was patient, kind and encouraging. She truly helped our son do his best on the exam and it made all the difference for us. We would love to keep Grace all to ourselves but had to share what a wonderful experience we had with her and Kate Fisher Tutoring. Thank you again for all of your help!
Kate Fisher, and her entire team, are absolutely fantastic. Kate is a gifted tutor and makes the entire SAT test prep process manageable (and dare I say, pleasant?) for parent and child. She gives clear guidance, realistic expectations and never puts her own interest/fees ahead of what is best/necessary for the child. I cannot recommend her (and her team of fabulous tutors with various areas of subject matter expertise) highly enough!
Kate is a wonderful tutor. Her friendly, warm, no-pressure vibe is matched by her smarts and insights into both the test and our child. Firmly believe he got the highest score possible with her help.
Kate is an incredible tutor. She worked with my daughter to prepare her for the ISEE exam. Kate is smart, reliable, and honest. I can't recommend her highly enough!
I highly recommend Kate as a tutor for anyone preparing for the ISEE Exam. She worked with my son and truly made a difference in his preparation. Kate really cared about my son's success and was always proactive in following up with us. She arranged practice tests, was incredibly organized, and always came fully prepared for our sessions. Thanks to her dedication and thoughtful approach, my son's skills and confidence improved significantly. We are so grateful for her support and the progress under her guidance!
Kate Fisher is extraordinary. My daughters, except for lack of prior exposure to standardized testing, were and remain very different people. But each has benefited immensely from working with Kate. In fairly short order, under her disciplined yet gentle supervision, my teens have become much more confident, genuinely in command and effective at test taking. Kate is a first-class intellect. Her mastery of testing methods and test-taking techniques is deep and nuanced. She is incisive at identifying test-taking weaknesses and gifted at cultivating strengths to build on. Even more importantly, Kate leavens her rigorous approach with keen sensitivity to adolescent emotions and anxiety.
The thoughtful support that Kate Fisher has offered both of my children goes above and beyond my wildest dreams of what I imagined possible of a tutor. Not only is she exceptionally bright and caring, but her level of organization and accessibility far exceeded my expectations. I can honestly say that Kate has become an extension of my family. She's been crucial in the academic development of both my kids.
Kate's amazing. Not only was she able to significantly improve my son's ISEE performance, but she also made the prep painless and FUN. To see a 13-year-old boy looking forward to tutoring sessions in the summer was a feat I thought impossible, but Kate made it happen. Kate also provided support throughout the entire application process and was devoted to making sure we found a school that was the right 'fit' for our son.
My daughter worked with Kate Fisher for her ISEE and only has terrific things to say. Kate is exceptional—she is organized, smart, attentive, insightful, and was able to motivate Ariela to want to study hard and excel on her test. Kate quickly deciphered where Ariela needed more instruction and guided her understanding of the material. Moreover, working with Kate on the ISEE prep gave Ariela foundational skills that had lasting effects on Ariela's performance in high school.
Kate Fisher has been such an invaluable mentor, teacher and ISEE tutor for our children. She has worked with us for a while now and is always such a bright, sunny person who helps to provide tremendous academic support. She is always prepared for her sessions and has the books in advance so she can work alongside the children. She is genuinely interested in their success and it's so clear she loves to teach! We are thrilled to have met Kate and hope to work with her for many years to come!
Kate Fisher is a fantastic tutor who is both patient and knowledgeable but more importantly, gets results. My 10 year old daughter in the 4th grade had four weeks to prepare for the lower level ISEE. My daughter had her first session with Kate and immediately felt comfortable. Over the course of the next four weeks, Kate taught almost two years worth of math and vocabulary to my daughter in a way that she was able to understand and retain. It was Kate teaching concepts in an easy (and fun!) to understand way that will stay with my daughter for the next two years.
When I was younger, I viewed tutoring as something used to fix myself as if there was something wrong with me as a person. However, after having Kate as my tutor, I learned that this belief was completely inaccurate. Throughout my sessions, Kate made great efforts to get to know me and how I learn best, therefore adapting her teaching styles to fit me personally. This changed my entire view on tutoring, creating a new idea of the concept as a resource that aids me rather than changing me or how I learn. In my freshman year, I noticed some inconsistencies within my math tests, so I made my own personal decision to set up some sessions with Kate. Kate is an outstanding tutor who has helped me grow into the student I am now, averaging in the A range for my grades while also being able to remain calm mentally. I owe Kate for the smooth transition into my freshman year, and she even helped aid me through the tests in the application process into my dream school.
