Your high schooler will take an official ACT Math test. You’ll see what they’re good at, what they need help with, and the next step that fits their needs best.
You’ll schedule a short parent call first. We’ll set the assessment time during that call.
It’s not that your high schooler isn’t smart — they’ve just never been taught how to prepare for the ACT. Schools skim over it, prep classes stay generic, and online resources feel like a maze.
That lack of proper guidance adds up — and the consequences go far beyond a single test day:
Your high schooler doesn’t need more random practice — they need a proven system that shows them exactly where to focus. That’s why we built a process designed specifically for Boone County high schoolers who want a higher ACT Math score without wasting hours on the wrong material.
✓ See Where They Stand: A free ACT Math assessment that reveals strengths and knowledge gaps.
✓ Get a Focused Plan: The best ACT Math prep book on the market — a $30 resource we provide free and personalized for your high schooler.
✓ Learn How the Test Really Works: Timing strategies, score-level priorities, and a smarter way to prepare.
When students finally see the ACT for what it really is, the path forward becomes clear — and higher scores start to feel within reach.
We break down your high schooler’s ACT Math score in simple terms and explain what it means for college options and scholarships—so you understand exactly where they stand.
Your high schooler gets a $30 ACT Math prep book for free, complete with the chapters they should focus on first highlighted—so studying feels easier, faster, and more organized.
You’ll see what kind of score jump is realistic and what support your high schooler may need—so you can decide if tutoring is the best next step with confidence.
Choose a time that works best for you. During this quick call, we’ll learn more about your student’s goals and reserve their spot for the free ACT Math assessment.
Your high schooler will take a real ACT Math test, then sit down with us to review results. We’ll mark their free prep book with the exact chapters they should focus on first.
Join a quick 15-minute parent check-in right after the session. We’ll walk you through the score breakdown, explain the custom study plan, and talk next steps.
“Nathan has helped save my daughter’s grade in College Algebra! She started out the semester really struggling and now has been making the highest grade in class!! Thanks Nathan!!”
“Super grateful for Zach’s help in Calc 2. He took my scores from literally failing my first exam with a 45 to getting a 83 on the second exam.”
“Great math tutoring! Nathan Hollenbeck was incredibly helpful both for my grade and for my overall understanding. Before I had his help, I was scoring 41-51 on tests. After I had his help I had a 71 on my tests and I feel well prepared for the final.”
The session is broken into three focused parts designed to give your high schooler clarity and a real plan.
First, they’ll take an official ACT Math section while we observe how they approach the test—timing, strategy, and where they get stuck.
Next, we review the results together, going over missed questions to identify knowledge gaps, timing issues, or simple mistakes. We’ll then provide them with a free ACT Math prep book and highlight the specific chapters they should focus on—prioritizing the easiest points to gain first.
Finally, we meet with you for a 15-minute parent check-in immediately after the session. We’ll walk through their results, explain their personalized study plan using the prep book, and discuss next steps to help them reach their target score.
The Assessment Session takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours total.
First, your high schooler completes a practice test (about 1 hour).
Next, they’ll review the results with the tutor (about 30 minutes).
Finally, you’ll join for a short parent check-in (about 15 minutes) where we walk through what we saw and discuss next steps.
Assessment sessions will usually be held in a private study room at the Columbia Public Library, which we reserve for you. If that’s ever unavailable, we’ll meet in a similar quiet space—like a study room at the Mizzou Student Center. Once your assessment session is booked, we’ll send all the exact details. Just show up—we’ll take care of the rest.
Nope—we provide everything your high schooler will need, including pencils, printed test materials, worksheets, and a TI‑83 calculator. If they have a calculator they’re more comfortable with, they’re welcome to bring it. And if they’d like to bring a snack, that’s totally fine too.
Two main things: First, we specialize exclusively in ACT Math with genuine expertise—2 out of our 3 tutors are math majors and all have college math tutoring experience. Unlike general tutors or big prep centers that cover multiple subjects, we focus intensively on mastering this one critical section.
Second, our systematic approach combines precise diagnosis with the right resources. In our free assessment session, we identify exactly which concepts your high schooler needs to master, provide them with our carefully selected ACT Math prep book, and customize it by highlighting specific chapters—ranked from easiest points to hardest—for maximum efficiency.
That’s totally fine—the free assessment session is designed to give you value whether you hire us or not. Your high schooler will leave with a free ACT Math prep book with highlighted chapters showing exactly what they need to focus on. Ask any questions during the parent check-in and let the results guide your decision. If you decide we’re the right fit afterward, great. If not, the customized prep book is yours to keep and use on your own.
Right now, we focus only on ACT Math. It’s where high schoolers tend to struggle most—and where we have the most experience, thanks to our background tutoring college math. While we’re not tutoring other sections at the moment, our team does have strong ACT experience overall, and we may expand in the future based on what families need most.
