Testimonials

HI! I’m Elizabeth Varela, a junior at the School for Advanced Studies at Kendall Campus. My journey with Peace of Pi SAT tutoring began after my sophomore year when I scored 520 on my PSAT, a result that didn’t align with my potential. I knew I could do better, but I needed a refresher. My mom had seen Peace of Pi on Instagram, and we decided to give it a shot for the summer.

I’ve always been confident in my math skills, having taken PreCalc and AP Calculus, so my low math score on the PSAT surprised me. I realized it was because I had forgotten some concepts over time. I joined Peace of Pi with the determination to improve my math score significantly.

Initially, I expected rigorous hours of studying, but the virtual group learning sessions were structured differently. The workload was manageable, and the four-hour classes each week, although intense, were worth it. I found myself engaged and focused during these sessions despite my initial concerns about online distractions. One of the best parts was having a fantastic tutor, Vicky/Victoria, who made the classes engaging and never made me feel bad about my mistakes.

On the day of the test, I was nervous but confident. I had given it my all during the preparation, and although I wished for more time during the exam, I realized that having extra time might not have necessarily led to a better outcome.

Ultimately, I achieved a score that I was content with in the SAT math section. Looking back, I appreciate my experience with Peace of Pi SAT tutoring. It wasn’t just about the program; it was about my commitment, parental support, and approaching the process with confidence. To future students, I’d say trust in the process, stay consistent, and believe in your abilities. Your effort will directly reflect your results.
