Testimonials

My troubles began when I received my PSAT results and began to grow concerned with my score in the math section, as a 580 is not a particularly good score. I was lucky to realize early on that I would need to seek out help to perform well on my SAT in the near future. My cousin scored pretty high on the SAT so I went to him for a recommended tutoring program and he prompted me to complete Peace of Pi’s program because it was what helped him the most in the end. I signed up for the March Prep 2022 Course and had my mind set on the idea that I did not want to waste an attempt at the SAT without having studied as hard as I could. 

I was having trouble reviewing all the different types of questions that were part of the SAT since there seems to be a mix of a whole bunch of different topics. I chose to work with Peace of Pi because, from the get go, it seemed like a very effective and credible program that helped build the bridge from my mediocre score to the results I wanted to achieve.

 The tutoring sessions were extremely helpful. I was able to receive feedback after every lesson, allowing me to divert my attention onto the topics I most needed or was most struggling with. I ended up scoring a 730 which was an extremely surprising improvement from my initial PSAT score and considering math was the subject I struggled most with in school. The result I saw in my SAT score has qualified me for the 100% Bright Futures scholarship. Being a junior in high school this year, I feel like a weight was lifted in preparation for my senior year with the SAT out of the way.

Prior to enrolling in Peace of Pi’s Summer Prep Course in 2021, I had taken the SAT  and wasn’t even close to being satisfied with my score. I was afraid of preparing on my own because I wasn’t sure if I’d get the results I was hoping for and I had limited time since it was already the end of my junior year. 

When I saw a friend post about Peace of Pi, I clicked to view the Instagram page and witnessed proof of all the huge score improvements POP was able to provide. I signed up for the summer course right away! Compared to all my other options, I decided that Peace of Pi would give me the best chance of bringing up my score as much as I hoped. 

The course was really helpful and Renan and the assistants were super flexible when I missed a class. They gave me access to a lot of practice and for each question there was a video solution. I was initially a bit skeptical because I thought the classes would be boring and not engaging since they were on Zoom, but Renan always managed to keep it fun and challenging. 

The group aspect of the classes surpassed my expectations because although I initially thought it would be more of a distraction,  it actually helped because people would ask questions that helped clarify things I hadn’t thought to ask. Thanks to Peace of Pi, I increased my math score from a 680 to a 780 and I’ll be going to Georgetown in the fall!

As I was doing my research on the contents of the SAT, I noticed that I hadn’t learned many of the topics tested. Taking the PSAT twice before the actual SAT was my wake-up call. I barely understood half the topics and knew from then on that I needed help. I tried to self-study for the first SAT and I scored a 590 in the math section. I wasn’t surprised by it but, deep down, I knew it could be so much higher. I was using Khan Academy and was told by my counselor that it was a great website to practice for it. I soon realized that it wasn’t for me and I would have to find another way. The way it is structured and how it is explained make it feel like a boring math class. 

Everything changed when my cousin introduced me to Peace of Pi and started explaining to me how great Renan’s courses are and how they had the potential to help me immensely. I chose this option because I knew that if I did well on the SAT, it would mean I would spend less money on college expenses with merit-based aid like the Bright Futures Scholarship. It was an investment to sign up for both the May/June Prep 2021 and December Prep 2021 courses with POP. 

When I started the course, I  began to learn so much so quickly. The way they simplified and explained the questions made the SAT feel so easy. It was nothing compared to Khan Academy where they try to explain it to you in long paragraphs. Peace of Pi’s way of teaching is very structured while still being engaging. If you need help on a specific topic, you can get a whole packet with videos on how to solve it. 

After taking the course my first time I went up 60 points. I felt motivated but still hadn’t reached my goal, so I didn’t stop there. I knew I just needed to try a little harder and keep persevering. I decided to take the course a second time because I knew Peace of Pi was going to be my only hope of getting the score I needed. The second time I took the SAT in December 2021, I was even more confident than before. 

As I approached the math section, I was getting excited. When I finally got to it, I was laughing. It felt like a walk in the park. There was no stress going through my head and I was smiling almost the whole way. In the end, I got the score I needed to get 75% Bright Futures. I started with a 590 and ended with a 690 in math. I felt a lot more relieved knowing I wouldn’t be needing to take the SAT or ACT again and had reached my goal. Renan and his team are the sole reason I was able to get to where I am today. 

I knew I was in trouble when I took my first ever PSAT at school and realized that I did not know how to do almost anything on the test. I got a 540 – which was 23 total answers incorrect. Because Covid happened my freshman year, my math foundation was already pretty rocky. Having to take math virtually during my junior year was an incredible challenge. I was my own teacher, and I had nobody to ask for help if I didn’t understand a concept. I had no confidence in my ability to learn math, let alone pass the final exam. I didn’t even know how to factor or simplify radicals. I had no idea how I was going to get a higher SAT math score.

I found Peace of Pi through previous students on Instagram, and after taking a look through the Instagram page, I immediately noticed how well Renan explains concepts and how he seemed to have a really fun personality that would make learning more motivating. I also saw the improvements from other kids who had lower scores than me, which gave me hope that I could do it too and prompted me to sign up for the March Prep 2022 Course.

From day 1, Renan and his team were incredibly organized and knew exactly what I needed to learn before we even had our first class. During each class, Renan gave us the perfect balance of pushing us to be our best, and also making sure we were having fun. He broke down every concept in multiple ways and would recognize our exact mistakes without seeing our work yet. Renan was able to help me at all hours of the day for any and every question. He fully believed in me and all of his students and pushed us to believe in ourselves.

I got a 760 on my first attempt of the SAT, which is a 220 point improvement and puts me in the 99th percentile nationally! I never would have imagined that I could achieve such a high score. From getting a 760, I qualified for the Bright Futures Scholarship, received a Math Excellence Award from my school, and got only one question wrong on my final exam. Taking this prep course instilled in me confidence that I can do anything I set my mind to, made me start to love math, and also left me with an incredible foundation of math knowledge that I will take with me through college.

I can’t thank Renan enough for believing in me and working very hard to make sure I had exactly what I needed to succeed. Renan is the best teacher I’ve ever had, and I would highly recommend Peace of Pi to anyone looking to improve on their SAT, and even math in general.

Before getting the opportunity to register for the course, I was not getting the SAT score I wanted. I had always been very strong in math, and could not understand what was causing me to perform below my skill set on this exam. I was sure there was a way that I could improve and so I started asking friends, friends of friends, and everyone I could, what I could do to maximize my potential. Most of the time they would name Renan from Peace of Pi Learning, and I had no idea who he was or what he offered as a tutor. Everyone said they had improved at least 90-100 points, which was a shocking jump that enticed me immediately. I contacted him instantly and decided to go with it, taking the March Prep 2022 Course. 

Everything about the experience, from the classes to the tutors themselves, were absolutely phenomenal. Renan would make sure I was always up to the task and that I did not procrastinate. If I needed extra help, he would find ways to help me no matter the circumstance. For me, the most important thing was that even though the classes were long, he would find a way to make them fun and make me laugh every class. He was a great teacher and taught the lessons in many ways so everyone was comfortable. 

After all the hard work and preparation, I was able to go up 150 points with just one course. It was more than what I was expecting and could not be happier with the results. My math goal was more than achieved! With this, I was able to get 75% bright futures, but with the extra time and confidence I now have to focus on the reading section, I am more than sure that I can soon reach a score that will grant me 100% Bright Futures!

My SAT journey began during my junior year, before I had ever even heard of Peace of Pi. I had already taken one SAT and wasn’t satisfied with my performance on the exam. I was seeking assistance to perform my absolute best on my future exams and found that assistance through a friend who encouraged me to sign up for Peace of Pi’s March Prep Course. By this time it was the middle of my Junior year. I was balancing loads of exams, while also trying to study for the SAT. It was difficult to stay on track trying to multitask the constant load of homework and exams, while studying for an SAT and always trying to find better materials to learn.

I chose to work with Peace of Pi and Renan because while in our interview before classes, I realized I would be working with someone who deeply cares about his students’ success and is dedicated to giving them the opportunity to perform their best. Piece of Pi’s service is superior as I got to work with an instructor directly, asking anything I need at any time. Renan is extremely engaging because he speaks the language of teenagers, and makes learning extremely enjoyable with a couple of jokes here and there. And if you slack even a bit (don’t do it), you’ll have him buzzing your phone to get back on track. The materials and questions they provide are also up-to-date and extremely vital when trying to study for the SAT.

My math score on the SAT went from a 670 to a 770 only after two months of starting Peace of Pi; a 100 point jump! My improved score on the math portion allowed me to receive the 100% Bright Futures award and relieved me of the stress that comes with studying for the SAT. This, in turn, allowed me to focus and perform better on my other exams at school. 

Like many other upperclassmen in high school, I began to become quite stressed about the SAT coming up. I had no idea how to prepare myself for it. My scores were very low, and when I tried to use Khan Academy to study as many people had recommended, I was unable to concentrate for long enough to learn anything and found it largely ineffective. My failed efforts began making me feel anxious, which only further contributed to the desperation I felt to find a way to do well on my SAT.

A friend of mine was working with Peace of Pi, and recommended the service, insisting that she felt good about the work she was doing and saw it was truly helping students improve. Upon her testimony, I decided that I needed more structure and guidance in my studying and enrolled in the March Prep 2022 Course. 

The service I received with POP was nothing short of incredible. They were so attentive and entertaining and made everything so simple for me. I had a 250 jump in score in total, from a 470 on my PSAT to a 550 on my first test and a final score of 720. 

Upon completing my SATs with the help of POP, I feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. The people around me are stressing over exam season in combination with the SAT, and I feel so good knowing that I got that over with and now have a good score under my belt. Additionally, I have a greater sense of security as I now know that even if I wasn’t an IB student I would still be able to achieve 100% of a Bright Futures scholarship.

I found Peace Of Pi a few years ago because my sister was previously tutored by Renan while she was applying to different colleges. The same challenge was approaching me soon and I wanted to reach my goal of increasing my SAT math score in order to acquire the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship. Before I took Peace of Pi’s Summer SAT Math Prep Course for the first time in 2021, I was in a situation where I was getting bad grades in math. I also knew that I usually did not perform well on standardized tests, causing me to lose my confidence in my math skills, and get a very low score on my PSAT. 

I chose to work with Peace Of Pi because I knew that I would improve my scores if I accepted their help and advice. The service I received during the course was excellent! All of the tutors made sure I was focused and stayed on track. My progress was so astonishing that I decided to take the course a second time to continue improving. 

My final result after taking the course was an increase of 250 points on my math score. This allowed me to reach way beyond my goals and obtain the Florida Bright Future Scholarship I was aiming for at the start of my journey. Additionally, math class at school became much easier once I had a greater understanding of all the basic skills needed to do well.

I took Peace of Pi’s March Prep 2021 Course and the May/June Prep 2022 after feeling I was not satisfied with my previous tutor and decided I needed a change. I was stuck around the 590-610 range and felt like I had plateaued. Nothing that I was doing seemed to work until I found Peace of Pi through the recommendation of my friend and former POP student Mauricio Malavenda. 

Before POP I was under immense amounts of stress because I knew I wouldn’t be a competitive applicant for the colleges I wanted to apply to. After my initial meeting with Renan I knew there was something different about this course, not to mention that the price was also amazing. The overall experience was sensational! Renan was the most helpful teacher I have ever met. He knew the SAT even better than the college board does!  

I honestly feel like I would never have been able to achieve my final score of 720 without having taken the course. With this score I was able to obtain 100% Bright Futures, and also earn a Presidential Academic Scholars Award at George Washington University. I gained admission to many competitive schools like Northeastern and will be attending FSU honors in the fall. Which will be basically free because of my SAT scores.

Peace of Pi is the best. Apart from teaching you everything you really feel like you have a friend rather than a teacher trying to force information into your brain. In all honesty, it is a hard course but if you listen to the tutors and do all the work, you will get to where you want and also have fun in the process.

I took the SAT as a junior in March of 2021 and wasn’t pleased with my math score. I knew how important it was to obtain a better result on this portion and was super stressed and anxious for my next SAT because I felt unprepared. After feeling like this for a few weeks, I took it upon myself to find the best tutors to guide me through my learning journey. Thankfully, I found Peace of Pi Learning through social media and was amazed at the improvements in scores others students had accomplished with POP’s  help. 

I immediately contacted Renan and had a meeting with him, where he assured me and my mom that I too could achieve a better score if I enrolled in the Summer SAT Math Prep Course, even though it had already started. I was nervous about being late to the program, but Renan’s motivating words and helpful resources boosted my confidence and I was able to catch up with the content I missed. What sets Peace of Pi learning apart from all other tutoring services is their commitment to helping us improve. Countless practice tests and topic lessons later, I took my second SAT in August.

With Peace of Pi Learning, I was able to increase my math score by 170 points (from 540 to 710), which seemed unattainable even in my dreams before this tutoring service. I now had a chance of earning admission into better universities, ultimately opening more opportunities for my future and allowing me to have more options once decision day came.
