Before Peace of Pi Learning I was close to being completely lost. I had pretty much hit a block in the road on my path towards a good SAT score. I had been tutoring from September to December elsewhere, but it didn’t do much for me. I tried the SAT books, the YouTube videos, the online worksheets, and still my scores would not improve at all. All of this was causing me one thing: Stress. Not only could I not reach success regarding the SAT, I couldn’t focus anywhere else either. It may seem dramatic, but as a junior in high school, when you can’t do good on your SAT you begin to question the purpose of all your prior work. That was when my friend told me about Peace of Pi.

The way they described Renan and Cori’s teaching abilities and character seemed to be exactly what everyone else was lacking. They were young, energetic, and relatable, but still very knowledgeable about the SAT and thorough with their explanations. It sounded too good to be true. I had to find out for myself. So I contacted Renan immediately and set up a zoom meeting.

To be honest, a part of me was still doubting that anyone could help me, and I explained that to him when the meeting started. But as soon as I said those things, Renan said something along the lines of “Don’t worry, at least let me explain the course before you give up and then we’ll see if it’s the best fit for you”. And the instant he began explaining the course, I knew: their program was going to be amazing.

My assumptions were correct. Renan manages to keep everyone in class engaged and attentive, while also encouraging his students to do better both in and out of class. There were times where I didn’t score as well as I had wanted on his diagnostics, but he always helped me get passed that, reminding me that my improvement was not going to be linear. It was normal to have bumps along the road and the key was to not give up and continue practicing. He also reassured me that sometimes the best move was to focus on relaxing and reducing my stress, as that seemed to be one of my biggest issues. On my first SAT I received a 190 point increase on my math section, which then went up another 30 points on the test I took one week later and then a final 20 points on my third attempt. It was something I had never even thought of happening. . Renan has a talent for teaching– something many people do not have. Not only that, but he cares for his students more than anyone I have seen before. I can 100% guarantee he will not let you down.
