My time learning with Fletcher was both uplifting and transformative. I was in middle school, and Fletcher came into my life at a time when I was losing confidence in my abilities. Drowned out in jumbo-sized public-school classrooms, I struggled with multiple learning differences and fell behind my peers. When I began to work with Fletcher, who tutored me daily at home, I was initially skeptical. My negative experiences in school had shaken my confidence in my abilities, and my normally insatiable desire for knowledge and learning was not what it used to be. By approaching every lesson with patience, compassion, and his own love for learning, Fletcher helped get me back on track. Under his guidance, I began to develop an ever-expanding toolkit of learning skills that carried me through high school, college, and beyond with success. When looking back on my path so far, I see the almost two years I spent with Fletcher as a key steppingstone on my journey to where I am now, which I am incredibly thankful for to this day.

I was a PhD candidate in Education at UMass when I first heard about Fletcher through a classmate — and then realized I already knew his work. I had overheard him coaching students while I was renting a room in his mother’s home during a visit from NYC. At the time, I was struggling with a deep writing block and an unexpected sense of doubt about whether years in academia were preparing me to become the kind of teacher, advisor, or dean I envisioned. Fletcher helped me reframe my uncertainty as a normal and even necessary part of scholarly growth, guiding me in taking ownership that my research and ideas were justified and making a meaningful original contribution to the existing literature, rather than minimizing them He encouraged me focus on clarifying my methodology, strengthening the transition between my findings and discussion, which ultimately set up a sharpened conclusion. Perhaps the most memorable advice was Fletcher encouraging me to honestly reflect on belongingness as a personally lived experience, in addition to my primary research. I met my dissertation defense deadline, earned my doctorate in May (2021), and today I serve as an Associate Dean at Middlebury College. Fletcher’s support didn’t just help me finish my PhD — it helped me trust my voice as an educator and leader.

I worked with Fletcher on professional and academic writing during a major career transition. His feedback was precise, honest, and transformative. He didn’t just edit my work — he taught me how to organize my thoughts, refine and ultimately explicate myself in more cohesive language to reach my audience, whether an individual or group. Learning cognitive flexibility and importance of making more of an intentional effort to shift between academic, analytical and professional writing, as well as always considering syntax, tone and diction to best accommodate student’s needs, even at the individual level, has helped me to be a more impactful teacher and communicative leader.

Fletcher doesn't rely on gimmicks or many shortcuts - he teaches you how to reason the way the GMAT demands. His ability to explain complex quantitative and verbal concepts in a clear, grounded way made a huge difference for me. I walked into the exam calm, focused, and prepared.

Fletcher's personalized way of teaching me to study for the GRE helped me to create a plan that was based on gaining real understanding of where I struggled or wasted most time, so that I could prioritize questions moving through the test and make best use of the time. Knowing what to do when in the real testing environment was great for both my confidence and score.

I initially attended one of Fletcher's GRE webinars in 2022 and was impressed by how engaging and practical it was. I later worked with him one-on-one, and the depth of his approach became even clearer. He combines structure with adaptability in a way that really works for adult learners.

Fletcher's GRE prep goes far beyond content review. He helped me understand how to think under time pressure, how to make better decisions when answers weren't obvious, and how to stop second-guessing myself by setting rules for myself in advance. My scores improved right away, because as an international student who always carries some doubt about my mastery of English, it felt like Fletcher had taught me the language of the test, something every test-taker must learn.

Fletcher has a rare ability to make complex thinking feel accessible. Whether in a classroom setting, individual session or casual advice, he creates clarity without pressure. When I worked with him to prepare for the GMAT, I left each session, feeling not just more prepared, but mentally sharper.

This was the first time I felt aligned that I felt aligned and in control of how I actually learn. Fletcher helped me break old habits, manage time pressure, and approach questions strategically instead of reactively. I’d recommend him to any professional serious about graduate school or learning in general.
