My name is Miguel Barreda, and I took  Peace of Pi’s SAT Math Prep Course in October. I needed the service because I wanted to meet the SAT requirement for the Bright Futures scholarship.

Before starting the course, I was scoring averagely on the math section of the SAT, but had completely forgotten some fundamental algebra concepts, which was causing me a lot of stress. My mom found Peace of Pi while looking for ways to help improve my score. Peace of Pi seemed to have the best tutors in the game, so we decided to go with their program.

I went into it determined to boost my SAT math score, and in the end, I did! I came into the virtual learning experience expecting something like an average school lecture. However, the tutors at Peace of Pi were understanding, willing to help, and focused on improving my skills, which surpassed my expectations. I initially thought the group learning environment would be just words and numbers on a screen, but it turned out to be much more interactive, involving working through homework and receiving helpful pointers.

There was a point in my journey where I was starting to feel unmotivated. I would slack off on homework and assignments, and just felt overwhelmed. Renan reached out to me, and after a motivating conversation, I felt reinvigorated with the strength to push through the second half of the program. In the end, thanks to Peace of Pi, I saw a positive result of +80 extra points on my SAT math section! This improvement means that once I take the SAT again and boost my reading score, I will qualify for the Bright Futures scholarship. This achievement has significantly reduced my stress and brought me closer to my academic goals.
