Why Most Students Struggle With ACT Math

It’s not that your teen isn’t smart – they’re just never been taught how to take tests correctly. Schools teach math, but not how to navigate the unique structure of the ACT exam.

  • Fewer College Opportunities: A lower math score can mean missing the cutoff for your teen’s dream school—even if everything else looks great.
  • Thousands in Lost Scholarships or Extra Debt: Just a few points can be the difference between full-ride offers and four more years of financial pressure.
  • Shaken Confidence: They’re trying their hardest, but every low score makes them feel left behind and worse, like they’re not smart enough.

The worst part? Most students never get told why they’re stuck—let alone how to fix it. We’re here to change that.

Where We Got Our Start

Before ACT Math, we tutored over 40+ Mizzou students in college math for a year. We logged over 300+ paid tutoring hours. This experience helped us build the skills we now use for ACT Math Tutoring.

Jumped 30 pts!

“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.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The session is broken into three focused parts designed to give your teen 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 30-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.

Assessment 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 is booked, we’ll send all the exact details. Just show up—we’ll take care of the rest.

Nope—we provide everything your teen 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, we identify exactly which concepts your teen 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 is designed to give you value whether you hire us or not. Your teen 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 students 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.
