Nicholas Lazo
+120 in Math
“My new and improved SAT Score got me the Bright Futures scholarship and into UF, taking the stress out of my college plans.”
Hi everyone, my name is Nicholas Lazo and joining Peace of Pi Learning was a game-changer for me as a senior at Terra Environmental. After getting a stagnant SAT score of 1280 with little prep, I knew I had to do something different. When my cousin, who was also benefiting from Peace of Pi Learning, suggested it, I decided to give it a shot. I needed to improve my scores for Bright Futures and my dream school, UF, so I jumped in with both feet.
I’d tried studying on my own with sites like Khan Academy, but I couldn’t stay focused without someone guiding me. Even though I was pretty good at math, I struggled with basic stuff like algebra and geometry, especially since I was also taking Calculus.
At first, I was worried about my heavy load of AP courses, but the daily assignments from Peace of Pi Learning were manageable. By practicing every day and getting help during sessions, I got better at solving problems and understanding concepts.The virtual group learning was way better than I expected. It was fun and interactive, unlike the chaotic online classes during Covid.
Looking back, what really helped me were the hands-on sessions where I solved problems and the daily homework. They helped me see my mistakes and practice until I got better.In the end, Peace of Pi Learning helped me boost my math score from 630 to 750, giving me a total SAT score of 1420. My new and improved SAT Score got me the Bright Futures scholarship and into UF, taking the stress out of my college plans.
If you’re thinking about joining Peace of Pi Learning, I say go for it. It’s worth it, especially with the chance to save money on scholarships like Bright Futures.I want to thank the whole Peace of Pi Learning team for their support. With their help, I not only hit my SAT goal but also grew more confident in my abilities as a student.Thanks, Peace of Pi Learning, for helping me reach my academic goals and setting me up for success.
