“I was able to reach my full potential and get evrerything out of this opportunity.”
Read MoreI took my first SAT in December and I was honestly very disappointed with my score. Before Peace Of Pi, my parents were opposed to SAT tutoring so I was practicing for the SAT through Khan Academy and review books. While this method is very efficient for some, I felt like I wasn’t retaining any information and I was moving very slowly. I knew I lacked knowledge in a lot of concepts that the SAT covered and this method wasn’t teaching me concepts as much as it was strategies and tricks. I felt like I was wasting my time and was very frustrated with my score because I knew I could do a lot better, and part of that frustration came from not knowing how to do better.
Not long after I spoke to a friend who had taken POP’s course and had seen drastic improvements in her math scores in a very short amount of time. She emphasized the endless amount of resources that this course provided and how the tutors ensured to help you through every step of the way. After this conversation with her, I still had some doubts since I’d heard of many SAT tutoring programs that didn’t deliver the results they promised and were basically a waste of money and time. However, after going through Instagram and seeing all the score improvements I decided to sign up for the March SAT prep course.
After taking my first few classes, all the amazing things I had read and heard about Peace Of Pi were proven right. Renan’s impressive knowledge and passion for teaching plus all of the material, videos, packets and practice tests were the perfect formula for achieving a math SAT score that I was proud of and could also present to colleges. I followed Renan’s advice of putting in my 110% effort into this experience by completing all of my homework and participating in class, which combined with the program’s teaching method and all the tutors being on top of my progress and ensuring that I never fell behind, allowed me to reach my full potential and get everything out of this opportunity. While I will admit it was definitely not easy, I knew that I needed to work hard for changes to happen.
When the course finished, I took my SAT again in March and I was able to improve 120 points on the math section. I was so shocked. I remember taking the test and feeling comfortable because I knew exactly how to approach almost all of the problems on the test. I felt extremely prepared which was so rewarding considering how lost I felt the first time I took the SAT. After finally achieving a score I was happy with, I was able to get the SAT out of the way in junior year and I’m now able to focus my attention on college applications next year without having to worry about the test. My overall experience with Peace Of Pi was beyond amazing, I haven’t stopped telling my friends about it and I would recommend it to anyone.
