+170 points on the SAT Math!

“Peace of Pi gave me structure, confidence, and results.”

I decided to join Peace of Pi because I wanted to start studying early for the SAT and reduce stress during the school year. Before the program, I had not started studying at all and had no idea where to begin or how to study in a way that would actually maximize my score. I felt lost and overwhelmed by the process.

A friend recommended Peace of Pi, and after seeing the strong feedback and results other students were getting—especially consistent 100+ point improvements—I felt confident choosing the program.

From the start, the experience was very positive. The tutors were great and helped guide me through the entire studying process. Everyone stayed on top of us to make sure homework was completed, which really helped me stay organized and accountable. The Zoom classes were very productive, and I always felt comfortable asking questions and fully understanding the material.

Initially, I was nervous about the virtual format because I struggled with online learning during COVID and found it easy to get distracted. However, Peace of Pi completely surpassed my expectations. The classes were engaging and structured in a way that kept me focused the entire time. Since we were always actively working, there was no opportunity to lose focus or go off topic.

I was also worried that group learning would not be as effective as private tutoring, but the small group sizes made a huge difference. There were usually only four students in my group, all at a similar skill level, which allowed us to move at the same pace. I never felt bored, rushed, or pressured, and the learning environment felt very comfortable.

As a result of Peace of Pi, I improved my math score from a 530 on the PSAT in October 2024 to a 700 on the SAT in August 2025. This improvement significantly reduced my stress during junior year because while many students are studying during the school year, I already completed my SAT prep.

Overall, Peace of Pi gave me structure, confidence, and results. Starting early made a huge difference, and I am extremely grateful for the support and organization the program provided.
