Free ACT Math Starter Session & Prep Book for Juniors & Seniors

Your teen gets step-by-step help on their weakest ACT Math topics at the Columbia Public Library—plus a $35 prep book marked with the exact chapters to study first.

No cost. No pressure. Just real progress.

When ACT Math Scores Don’t Move, the Consequences Add Up

A low ACT Math score doesn’t just hurt on test day—it shapes college choices, scholarship chances, and the financial load your family carries. Every point matters, yet most students study without any real plan. They guess, they hope, and nothing changes.

  • Fewer college options because a single section holds them back
  • Thousands in scholarship money left on the table
  • A teen who feels “behind” compared to friends
  • Parents feel stuck. Teens feel overwhelmed. And without the right help, the score never becomes what it could be.

A Simple System That Opens the Door to Bigger Scholarships

ACT Math isn’t just another test—it’s thousands of dollars in scholarships and a major part of college admissions. But most families don’t know how to get their teen’s score to the level that unlocks those opportunities. The wrong study plan or the wrong kind of tutoring can cost a family real money and limit future options.

Our free 2-hour ACT Math Starter Session gives your teen the kind of focused instruction that leads to real score gains—not months from now, but right away. Using the same system that raised our own ACT Math score from a 24 to a 35, we coach them through the exact types of problems that move their score fast. And with the free $35 prep book marked with the chapters that matter most, you’ll know exactly how your teen can continue improving.

We’ll help them take the first step toward the scholarships they deserve.

Where Our ACT Math Expertise Began

Before focusing on ACT Math, we tutored more than 40 Mizzou students in college-level math, logging over 300 paid hours. That’s where we learned how to break down math in a way students actually get.

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

Yes, it’s completely free—there’s no catch at all. We offer the starter session because once parents see how quickly their teen improves, they usually want to continue. The $35 prep book is yours to keep no matter what you decide.

Yes. Most students make quick progress once someone shows them what to focus on. In one session, your teen learns how to solve problems they used to miss and leaves knowing exactly how to keep improving.

Yes. We teach step-by-step methods that make ACT Math easier to understand. Even students who struggle in school start solving questions they used to guess on by the end of the session.

All sessions are held at the Columbia Public Library in a private study room. Once you book your teen’s starter session, we reserve the room for that exact time so they can work without distractions.

The session is max two hours. The first 90 minutes are dedicated to focused ACT Math tutoring, and the final 15 minutes are for the parent check-in.

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.

It’s a focused ACT Math tutoring session where we identify your teen’s weak areas, then teach a few targeted topics that will give them the biggest score jump right away. At the end, you join a short parent check-in where we explain where your teen stands and outline their options so you can decide—without pressure—whether more tutoring makes sense.

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.
