My name is Katerina Diaz, and I’m a senior at Terra Environmental Research Institute. Before discovering Peace of Pi, I was overwhelmed by the prospect of SAT in my future. I realized early on, after taking the PSAT in 9th and 10th grade, that I needed a head start. I immediately knew that I needed to start earlier because I would just get anxious if I started like most kids my age, which usually starts right after the junior year SAT that you take in school. My scores didn’t reflect my academic capabilities, and I knew I needed guidance to navigate the intricate web of SAT questions and formulas.
My mom is always on Instagram, checking for college and SAT stuff. She had seen a few different tutoring services, but she really liked Peace of Pi. She saw the scores, how you guys show the improvement of the scores, and how you give little tips weekly, which really convinced her that it would work.
The program not only equipped me with the knowledge but also provided a personalized approach that was essential for someone like me. Their focus on individual students ensured I understood every concept before moving forward. Even areas I had forgotten or never encountered, like statistics, were covered thoroughly, making sure I wasn’t left stranded during the test.
Initially, I was nervous about the group learning environment. But in the end, I found POP’s approach perfect. Despite my short attention span, the breakout rooms and constant engagement kept me focused. The tutors, especially Mars, were not just knowledgeable but also dedicated to our progress.
The four-hour classes sound like a lot, but they were easier to manage than I thought they would be. The tutors give you little 15-minute breaks during class, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but just to lay down or be on your phone or whatever it is, get a snack, really, it just helps. And then, by the time you get back, you’re better.
What struck me most was their commitment to each student’s success. They didn’t just teach; they instilled confidence. The program’s structure, the attention to detail, and their support made a scary exam seem like something doable, especially if you need that extra push or if you’re just scared to take the test in general. They really make you feel comfortable. They make you focus on each individual thing that you need to focus on, and they really push you to be your best and to reach your best score.
If anyone is unsure about the SATs or needs that extra push, I highly recommend Peace of Pi. They don’t just prepare you for the test; they empower you to excel beyond your expectations. It’s an investment worth every moment and dollar.
