ACADEMIC COACHING

 “Over the summer, I worked with Mrs. Bartel, prepping for the ACT. Her expertise not only boosted my confidence, but the strategies she taught me for the English, Reading, and Science sections proved very helpful. These tips and tricks she shared didn’t just aid me in those specific areas but on all four tests, resulting in a significantly higher score than I had anticipated. I’ve integrated her testing strategies and skills into my regular study routines and have been utilizing them on my regular school exams. Forever grateful for her impact on my academic journey!” 

"Mrs. Bartel’s ACT coaching in English, Reading and Science helped me tremendously! Her coaching not only gave me confidence going into my first ACT test but increased my scores! I went from a 23 in English to a 30, and I went from a 30 in Reading to a 34.  My Science even went up to a  27. The tips and tricks she gave me to excel in the ACT have continued to help me in my AP literature class. Mrs. Bartel gave me many practice tests to take home, guided me in finding the correct answer and thoroughly explained why the answer was correct. Having her guidance prepared me for the many ACT tests but also my academic coursework.  Many people I know didn't take the ACT seriously, but I am glad I did .  I was so successful." 

 “Mrs. Bartel helped me not only improve my ACT test scores but my test taking skills in general. Her testing and study ‘hacks’ for English, Reading, and Science have been helpful in college. The methods she taught me have been integrated into my academic routines and her academic coaching made me a more successful student. She found strategies that fit my unique learning needs. I am forever grateful how passionate and patient she was while she was coaching me. The skills you learn while working with Mrs. Bartel will be utilized throughout your academic career.”

 “As a parent of a child that struggled in school and has bad test anxiety, we were very concerned that the ACT test would be overwhelming and that it could hurt our daughter’s educational opportunities as she approached her  junior year. Lauren put together a comprehensive plan to assist her in strengthening the skills she needed to demonstrate her competence while also acclimatizing her to the test atmosphere. We started working with Lauren two summers before she had to take the ACT and her work with Lauren paid off. First and foremost, Lauren leverages her years of teaching experience to gather an understanding of the student’s strengths and weaknesses. Then, she applies that understanding to the training program that she develops which involves both the student and parent in the process. I have recommended Lauren to  many people and continue to do so.” 

"I didn't need any Math help, so Lauren coached me specifically in English. She helped me go from 18 to over a 30 in just a few sessions. She helped me by teaching me the basics in English I did not know. This was huge in helping me earn a substantial scholarship. It was very worth the time and obviously worth the investment. Everyone should be coached by her."

 “Working with Lauren Bartel as an ACT coach was a game-changer for both of my children. Despite having different abilities and challenges, Lauren tailored her approach to meet each of their needs with precision. Both of my children have consistently been A/B students, but Lauren's expertise was instrumental in helping them excel even further. One of my children struggled with standardized tests, particularly multiple-choice formats. Lauren equipped them with invaluable skills that they continue to utilize in college, enabling them to conquer their test-taking fears and excel academically. The other child, already high-achieving, needed guidance in identifying and addressing their specific weaknesses to elevate their above-average score to the next level. Lauren's personalized coaching was transformative, resulting in significant score improvements for both of them. Lauren Bartel’s dedication, expertise, and personalized approach truly set her apart as an exceptional educator and mentor. I am immensely grateful for the positive impact she has had on my children's academic journeys.”
