“The program is structured in a way that pushes you but also ensures you have the resources you need to succeed.”
Before joining Peace of Pi, I knew my SAT score was going to be a major factor in getting into the schools I wanted, particularly in Florida and Boston. When I took the PSAT, my score was nowhere near what I needed, and I knew I had to start preparing early to maximize my potential. I first heard about Peace of Pi through a family friend who had an incredible score improvement, so I knew it had to be a great program. I decided to join the summer program, and it exceeded my expectations.
Math has always been a subject I enjoyed—I was a straight-A student, and it was one of my favorite classes. So when I saw that my PSAT math score was much lower than I expected, it didn’t feel like it reflected my true ability. I didn’t want one test to define me as a math student, so I joined Peace of Pi to make sure I could reach the score I knew I was capable of.
One of my biggest struggles before tutoring was time management. I also realized that a lot of the SAT covered material I had learned years ago, like geometry in eighth grade, and algebra concepts that I had forgotten because I was now in pre-calculus. When I took the PSAT, I found myself running out of time and unable to finish the test. Peace of Pi helped me build strategies to manage my time effectively while also reinforcing the concepts I had forgotten.
Coming into the virtual group learning, I didn’t really know what to expect. I had heard positive feedback from others, but I was still unsure how it would work—especially how the tutors would keep everyone engaged. From the first session, I realized how interactive it was. The tutors made sure no one was just sitting there distracted or zoning out. They would check to see if you were participating, ask you to submit answers, and even call on you if needed. This level of engagement really helped keep me accountable and focused.
At first, the idea of a four-hour session sounded overwhelming. I had friends in other programs who only did two-hour sessions, and I thought sitting in a chair for that long doing math would be impossible. But once I started, I actually found myself enjoying it. The sessions didn’t feel dragged out—they were structured in a way that made the time fly by. Plus, the tutors gave us breaks, and they were really mindful of keeping us engaged without feeling burnt out. By the end of the sessions, I felt confident that I could apply what I learned on the actual test.
The level of support in this program is amazing. If I was struggling with a topic, even after the session ended, I could reach out to my tutor for extra help, and they would provide additional worksheets or practice problems. The program is structured in a way that pushes you but also ensures you have the resources you need to succeed. The weekly homework assignments were definitely a challenge, but they were essential in helping me improve.
Overall, I would highly recommend Peace of Pi to anyone looking to improve their SAT score. The tutors truly care about your success, and they tailor the learning experience to make sure you get the most out of it. The program helped me strengthen my math skills, improve my time management, and feel confident in my ability to reach my goals. If you’re willing to put in the work, Peace of Pi will absolutely help you get there.
