Read MoreWhen I entered into my Junior year of high school, I started to really consider the steps I needed to take for college. I was pretty good at math but I started forgetting material and finding myself feeling confused when online classes and quarantine began. Math was never the most complicated topic for me, but I started noticing that my skills were slowly downgrading and I felt increasingly more lost in my classes each time I attended. This left me feeling very overwhelmed when I thought about the SAT because I really wanted to do well in order to submit competitive applications to my dream universities.
I had heard of Peace of Pi from people in my school before, but it wasn’t until a close friend of mine convinced me that I enrolled in the March Prep 2022 Course. I had followed the Instagram account for a while and saw clearly, through videos and testimonials of others, how big of an improvement I could achieve. I knew I wanted to be one of the people whose score shot up by more than 100 points!
The experience provided me with more than I could have ever expected. I knew I was capable of bettering myself, but at first, I didn’t know where to start. Once I started tutoring with Peace of Pi I noticed how the experience is truly effective and how every teacher cares about all the students. They also make the class work and homework specifically tailored to you and your areas of improvement. At first I thought it was going to be easy for me to get distracted with an online interface because that is what happened when I took online classes during quarantine. However, the way in which the classes were taught kept me engaged in the material. I also knew I needed to be present because we were constantly asked questions and helped if we were confused. I was also a little nervous of having classes online because I didn’t know if people would communicate very well, but not only were the teachers exceptional in keeping us engaged but the people in the group were also always cooperative in advancing the class.
I started my math section at a 560 and ended up getting a 720 allowing me to have a total score of 1420 on my SAT! Getting this score has made me much more confident in my college applications and I know I have a greater possibility of being accepted into my list of dream colleges. With this score I also meet the requirement for a 100% Bright Future Scholarship so I am relieved to know I can have that option. I am super grateful for the experience at Peace of Pi. I am extremely happy with my results and I know I could have probably not accomplished them by myself. I think Peace of Pi is the perfect place to go because all the tutors are amazing teachers and people! They care about every single student and their progress and will definitely push to achieve your best.
