+230 points on the SAT Math!
“Compared to private tutoring, which many of my friends are doing for similar or higher costs with fewer results, Peace of Pi provided more structure, accountability, and satisfaction.”
I received my PSAT score in 11th grade and saw that it wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted it to be. That made it clear to me that if I wanted to significantly improve my SAT score, I needed structured support rather than trying to figure everything out on my own.
I had already tried self-studying using online resources, but it quickly became obvious that it wasn’t effective for me. I didn’t have a clear plan, and I wasn’t seeing real improvement. I knew that getting a strong SAT score was important because I want to attend a good college, and I also realized that I wasn’t going to reach my goals without proper guidance.
My biggest frustration before tutoring was timing. I usually understood the math concepts, but I didn’t know the fastest or most efficient way to solve the questions. Peace of Pi helped me learn smarter strategies and shortcuts, which made a big difference in how I approached problems and managed my time during practice.
Coming into the program, I expected the virtual group classes to be much larger and less personal. Instead, the groups were very small—sometimes even one-on-one—which made the sessions extremely interactive and effective. I felt comfortable asking questions and getting clarification whenever I needed it.
At first, the four-hour classes seemed overwhelming, and I worried I wouldn’t be able to stay focused. After the first session, though, I adjusted quickly. The built-in breaks helped, and over time the longer sessions actually helped me build the stamina needed for a full SAT exam.
I really liked my tutors and felt they were very qualified. They were patient, supportive, and always willing to explain a concept in a different way if I didn’t understand it the first time. That flexibility made a huge difference for my learning.
The workload was definitely a lot, but I understood that the homework was essential to improving my score. I learned that staying consistent with the deadlines was key. At times, I had to prioritize Peace of Pi homework over schoolwork, but I knew that commitment was necessary—and it paid off. I found other times during the day to catch up on school assignments.
One thing that really stood out to me was how persistent and structured the program is. The constant reminders and check-ins pushed me to stay disciplined and not fall behind, which was something I honestly needed.
The most helpful part of the program was the weekly homework plans. They allowed me to see my workload in advance and plan around school and other activities. I also relied heavily on the video explanations, which were clear, short, and straight to the point. Whenever I didn’t understand a question, I could quickly watch a two-minute video and get clarity.
The WhatsApp reminders were another huge help. Without them, I probably would have procrastinated more and ended up feeling overwhelmed. Instead, I stayed on track and completed my work on time.
Although I chose not to share my exact score yet because I plan on retaking the SAT, the results I achieved showed me that I have real potential to keep improving. The process motivated me to continue reviewing my Peace of Pi materials and redo assignments so I can push my score even higher. Even now, my score gives me confidence that I’m in a good position for college applications.
While Peace of Pi is an investment, I believe it was completely worth it. Compared to private tutoring, which many of my friends are doing for similar or higher costs with fewer results, Peace of Pi provided more structure, accountability, and satisfaction.
