Testimonials

“Elise was an exceptional SSAT tutor who played a pivotal role in improving our son’s confidence and overall test performance. From the start, she demonstrated deep expertise while remaining approachable and encouraging, which immediately put our son at ease. She created a clear, well-structured, and thoroughly documented path to improvement, helping him build skills in a focused and manageable way. After every session, Elise consistently followed up with detailed updates, outlining what was covered and providing thoughtful guidance on areas to reinforce between meetings. We wholeheartedly recommend Elise to any family seeking expert instruction delivered with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care.”‍ ‍- E.S. & K.S. Parents

"When I learned about the service that Elise is offering through Education Edge I was genuinely excited for the students and families who are lucky enough to work with her. For the past 15 years working as an admissions officer as well as a secondary school counselor, I have seen countless students go through the testing cycle. Over and over I have heard families ask for a tutor who can relate to their child, differentiate the learning to meet their child's needs, and most importantly engage their child and make test prep fun. This is exactly what Elise offers. Not only does she bring years of test prep experience, decades of admissions experience, and countless hours of classroom experience, she is also the kindest and most patient educators I have ever met. When my three sons are old enough to start thinking about the SSAT, Elise is going to be my first call."  - Chris Young, Director of Admission & Enrollment, Fessenden School

“Before working with Elise, the SSAT felt overwhelming. She helped me understand the test, taught me strategies that actually worked, and showed me how to pace myself and stay focused. I felt much more confident because I knew what to expect and had practiced the right way. Elise believed in me, and that made a huge difference.” - C.M. Student
