About

Originally from San Diego, Noah Fish attended New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts and has built a career in education supported by his rich training in theater arts. He first developed a love for teaching when he founded Source 4 Studios, an intensive for high schoolers that addressed language arts, theater, music, and college preparation.

Over the past decade of teaching, Noah’s passion for the arts and education has cultivated an attentiveness and compassion that he brings to each student. His adaptability allows him to bridge the gap between left- and right-brain skills, helping demystify a math section for a strong verbal scorer or break down a reading passage into quantifiable, actionable steps.

An expert in teaching all sections of the SAT and ACT, Noah has seen score improvements as high as 14 points on the ACT and 390 points on the SAT. In the past year, Noah has worked with more than 30 SAT students, with nearly one-third of those students scoring above 1500 and several students scoring in the 770-800 range on each section. Noah has worked with a similar number of ACT students in the past year, 50% of whom achieved scores in the 34-36 range.

As one of a small, hand-selected team of ArborBridge Coaches, Noah empowers his students to achieve their goals through individualized work in executive functioning, test-taking foundations, and testing mindset strategies. With thousands of teaching hours, he has helped students of all walks slay the dragon of “test anxiety” and tap into the confidence they need to achieve their goals.
