Our mission is simple: to inspire a love of learning while building confidence and empowering students to thrive. Whether it’s raising ACT scores or guiding families through the college application process, we’re proud to be a trusted partner in students’ academic journeys.​​
My Story
Welcome to Bartel Tutoring and College Advising! I’m Kate Bartel, a former high school instructor with a passion for helping students achieve their full academic and personal potential. Over the past decade, I’ve built Bartel Tutoring into a trusted resource for families, offering personalized one-on-one tutoring, test preparation, and college advising tailored to each student’s unique needs.
When I started this business almost ten years ago, I had one goal in mind: to transform learning into a meaningful and exciting journey. With experience developing cutting-edge curriculum that brought learning to life, I knew the power of personalized education to inspire confidence, improve grades, and open doors to future opportunities.
Since then, I’ve seen countless success stories—students gaining admission to their dream colleges, receiving record financial aid and scholarships, and turning failing grades into A’s and B’s through individualized learning plans. I believe that one-on-one support is not just about academics; it’s about building confidence, organization, and a lifelong love of learning.
