Testimonials

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.

Before signing up and taking Peace of Pi’s March 2022 SAT Math Prep Course, I was frantic about not having the high scores needed to get the Bright Futures Scholarship and was uneasy about applying to competitive colleges. My starting score was 600 in math and 1200 overall. I had to bring my score up by at least 130 points to get Florida Bright Futures.

I was already taking AP Calculus and was years past basic math courses like Geometry and Algebra, which make up a large part of the SAT. My friend sent me Peace of Pi’s Instagram account, where I saw all their testimonial posts with inspiring stories and score improvements. From then on I was convinced this was my best shot at reaching my goals!

Although the course demanded a lot of hard work and effort, it led me to guaranteed improvement and success with its many practice exams, useful strategies, and lessons on topics I had forgotten. I raised my math score by 170 points, staying with an overall math score of 770, and 1390 overall. This reduced my stress regarding the SAT math and allowed me to shift gears and focus on the reading section. Not only did my SAT score allow me to secure the Bright Futures Scholarship, but it also allowed me to apply to any school I dreamed of with confidence! ​

Since I’m naturally stronger in math than reading, I knew that I needed my math score to carry my overall SAT score which is why I came to Peace of Pi. Before Peace of Pi, my score was “good” by a lot of standards, but it needed to be higher for me to get the scholarships and acceptance letters that I wanted. I knew I could do it, I just needed some help and guidance. ​

A friend had been using Peace of Pi for her regular math classes and Renan’s reputation was that he was effective, but also easy to work with. His SAT tutoring course is also affordable compared to other places that don’t have this same kind of reputation for reliability. I loved my tutoring with Renan. I constantly felt challenged but never felt like I couldn’t solve a problem or ask a question when I was confused. ​

After tutoring and taking the test a couple of more times, I scored a 740! A full 100 point improvement on an already good score. My improvement made me feel very confident in myself and have also moved me one step closer to earning a full bright futures. I would definitely recommend Peace of Pi as a tutoring service for anyone who wants to see improvement in their math score. ​

After taking the PSAT, I realized I wasn’t happy with my score. I knew in order to achieve my goals I had to get a higher SAT score. Although I took multiple practice tests and watched videos online, I was still falling short in my score. Finally, I decided to do my research and search for a tutor that I knew would benefit me and care about my improvement. ​I had a lot going for me, my grades were good and I had a lot of community service hours. I needed a high SAT score to increase my chances of getting accepted into my dream schools and to attain 100% bright futures. ​

Unfortunately, this was a very big struggle for me because I have a lot of testing anxiety. Thankfully, I found Peace of Pi through a friend who had taken your course and seen major improvements. After only one session, I could see how passionate Renan was about helping his students succeed. A lot of tutors are in it for the money, but it was clear that the most important thing to Renan was his students.

Not only did he explain everything and clear up all my questions , but he also knew who I was and did not just treat me like just another student. I started realizing that I felt more knowledgeable every class and I felt engaged and excited to learn. This course didn’t only benefit me in terms of the SAT , it helped me improve in the math classes I was taking as well. ​

Thanks to Peace of Pi, I have gotten into every school in Florida. Most importantly, I got accepted into my dream school, University of Florida, which I could’ve never done without the help of this program. I also qualified for 100% Bright Futures. Being accepted to my dream college was the best feeling in the whole world. I had the option to attend 1 of the top schools in the nation with full tuition covered thanks to Peace of Pi. ​Renan was not only my tutor, but my friend. I thank him for everything he has done and hope he continues to help others as he did for me.

I realized that I needed help with improving my SAT score when it was January of my Junior year, and I had never really taken a practice test or prepped for the SAT in any way. I only had a couple of months left before my first SAT, and I was not at all satisfied with my performance on the PSAT. A lot of kids experience this when they are in a magnet school since we’re often a year or two ahead in our math courses and the material on the SAT is information we haven’t covered in quite a while. It felt like a huge challenge for me to cover years’ worth of material that I hadn’t been exposed to in so long.

This was around the time where I first heard of Peace of Pi Learning through a couple of my friends who had completed the course and seen a drastic improvement in their scores. I started looking more and more into this tutoring program, only to find that countless students had improved by 100+ to even 200+ points. Not to mention that Renan himself has gotten a perfect score on the SAT math several times. It was clear that Renan not only knew and understood how to take the test himself, but that he could teach his students to do the same.

I was a little hesitant at first, but overall, I considered it to be a worthwhile investment given that by taking the tutoring it would allow me to meet and exceed the score needed for Florida Bright Futures (which covers all of tuition in any Florida Public University). Looking back I recognize how taking this SAT prep course saved me thousands of dollars in tuition that I no longer have to pay.

Immediately after meeting Renan and having the first tutoring session, I knew that I had made the right choice. His passion for teaching and helping his students understand the material makes him one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He truly cares about his student’s learning, and that shines through with all of the extra time and effort that he puts in to ensure his students’ success. For me, the group tutoring was a lot like taking a class at school- where your friend asks an important question that you hadn’t even thought of.

The dynamic of a group worked really well, and it allowed for a deep overview of the material given the collaboration and participation of all the members. This is not to mention the extra time that Renan puts in as he attends to students on an individual basis too and tracks their improvement to personalize and cater a study plan to fit their needs. Even just two sessions in, I had already seen a huge improvement in my skills. Furthermore, the tutoring is set up in an efficient way that allowed me to understand how to take the SAT, as well as the kinds of questions that will be on it. ​ ​

Renan will take one common SAT math problem and analyze what makes that question difficult for students, and as a result, he composes entire packets of questions that address that one type of problem. By the end of the tutoring, I felt that I had mastered every kind of SAT question. Not only could I solve them, but I was able to do it quickly with ample time to double and triple-check my work. This is what gave me an advantage on the SAT, when I walked into the test no problem surprised or confused me. It was all concepts that I had reviewed with Renan multiple times

I am incredibly grateful to Renan and Peace of Pi Learning for preparing me so well for the SAT. Achieving a good score has opened up so many doors for me. I’ve been able to get into amazing institutions, like UF and Johns Hopkins, and have been awarded scholarships like Florida Bright Futures. ​
