Hi! I’m Lola Shaoul, an 11th-grade student at Dr. Michael Krop Senior High, and I decided to join Peace of Pi after realizing my PSAT math score was not as high as I had hoped. Although I had always enjoyed and been good at math, the pandemic disrupted my learning, leaving gaps in my knowledge. I knew I needed a refresher to help me bring up my score.

After hearing positive feedback from friends and family, I decided to give Peace of Pi a try. The testimonials on their Instagram showed consistent improvements in students’ scores, so I felt confident about choosing this program amongst others. I had previously tried private tutoring, but it wasn’t as effective for me. I hoped the group learning environment at Peace of Pi would be different, and it was!

The course was everything a student could ask for and more. The instructors were engaging, relatable, and made sure we understood the material. The group learning environment helped keep me engaged and allowed me to benefit from other students’ questions and perspectives. I found the video explanations for each question particularly helpful, as they provided clear, step-by-step guidance.

One of the most valuable aspects of Peace of Pi was the accountability it provided. The instructors consistently checked in on my progress and ensured I completed the homework on time, especially in the Whatsapp chat. This structure helped me stay on track and motivated to achieve my goals.

Through Peace of Pi, I improved my math score from 520 to 720, a 200-point increase! I couldn’t believe it when I received my score. This improvement enabled me to secure a full Bright Futures scholarship and boosted my chances of getting into competitive colleges. The experience taught me the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving my goals.

For students considering Peace of Pi, my advice is to commit fully to the program and trust the process. The workload may seem challenging at first, but the results are well worth the effort. Peace of Pi’s support and guidance can help you unlock your potential and achieve your goals.

“Peace of Pi Learning provided personalized attention and constant engagement, which made a significant difference in my learning journey.

[read more]

Hi, I’m Sofia Varela, a senior at MAST Academy. Before joining Peace of Pi Learning, my SAT scores weren’t where I wanted them to be. I realized that my initial math scores of around 460 to 500 wouldn’t cut it for the colleges I was aiming for, like UF, where the average score was at least 1300. Math was never my strongest suit, especially because I had gaps in my understanding of fundamental concepts, making it a particular challenge.

When I heard about Peace of Pi Learning from friends who were seeing results, I decided to give it a try. Despite initial hesitations about virtual learning, I found the interactive group environment to be incredibly supportive and tailored to my needs. Unlike my experiences with pandemic-era online classes, Peace of Pi Learning provided personalized attention and constant engagement, which made a significant difference in my learning journey.

The four-hour classes, especially after school, were tough, but I managed by staying organized and following the recommended study schedule diligently. Despite occasional frustrations with the workload, I found the program immensely helpful. The personalized assignments targeted my weaknesses and helped me relearn forgotten concepts, ultimately leading to a significant improvement in my math skills.

Taking the program twice—once during the school year and once in the summer—proved to be beneficial. While juggling school classes and program sessions during the year was challenging, dedicating my summer solely to SAT prep allowed me to focus entirely on the test, resulting in better outcomes.

Ultimately, my efforts paid off, and I achieved a final math score of 700, a remarkable improvement from where I started. This accomplishment not only boosted my confidence but also opened doors to opportunities like Bright Futures for Florida and increased my competitiveness in college admissions.

Reflecting on my experience, I appreciate the relentless support and guidance from the Peace of Pi Learning team. Their dedication to my success, combined with my determination, resulted in a transformative journey that I’m immensely grateful for. Overall, my journey with Peace of Pi Learning has been challenging yet rewarding. 

I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I highly recommend the program to any student willing to put in the hard work and dedication required to succeed. Thank you, Peace of Pi Learning, for helping me achieve my goals and empowering me for future success.

“Peace of Pi’s methodical, comprehensive approach is pure excellence!

[read more]

My name is Juan Rodriguez and I’m a junior at Coral Reef. Like many students, I was really anxious about the SAT math section. I watched my older sister struggle with it, going through a total of 3 different private tutors over the course of a year. None of them were able to help her score well, and it was incredibly frustrating and stressful for her and my family.

I was determined not to go through the same experience that she did, and  took the PSAT my freshman year. Then as a sophomore, I still didn’t come close to the score I needed. It became evident that I would require professional tutoring if I wanted to maximize my score.

Although I was an above-average math student in my pre-calculus class, the math on the SAT was an entirely different beast. The questions were formatted and worded in ways that I had never encountered before. I struggled to break them down logically and determine which formulas or approaches to use. It was immensely frustrating staring at questions that seemed straightforward but ended up having multiple tricky layers and concepts tested. 

That’s when my sister, having gone through her own struggles, told me to sign up for tutoring with Peace of Pi. She had heard great things about their virtual program and structured lesson plans. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the online format, fearing it would be too similar to the lessons during COVID where it was easy to get distracted and zone out. However, Peace of Pi’s tutoring experience blew those concerns out of the water from day one. The sessions never dragged or felt excessive. The instructors were engaging and did a fantastic job of breaking down complex concepts through examples. 

The program was rigorous and demanding, requiring me to sacrifice leisure activities like hanging with friends or watching Netflix some nights and weekends. But the content was carefully structured into topic-focused lesson packets that comprehensively covered every concept and problem type I’d encounter on the real exam. No stone was left unturned.

The most valuable component was the way they integrated practice tests into the curriculum. After each one, I could review all of the problems through the video solutions posted for each one. I was able to understand exactly what my weaknesses were and how to improve them for next time. It was like nothing was left up to chance – we systematically eliminated my content gaps and holes in logic one by one.

On my first official SAT attempt, I scored an incredible 780 in the math section – a staggering 250 point improvement from my sophomore PSAT score. Peace of Pi’s program quite literally transformed my scoring potential and academic future. Earning such a high math score enabled me to qualify for Florida’s Bright Futures scholarship and gain acceptance into top universities like UF that have stringent test score standards.

In retrospect, the weekly time commitment was more than worth it. Peace of Pi’s methodical, comprehensive approach is pure excellence! Any student looking to maximize their score and qualification for scholarships absolutely must look into this program. The hard work really does pay off exponentially in the end.”

My name is Thomas Dos Santos Lara and I’m a junior at Riviera. When I first took a practice SAT test in preparation for the real thing, I was shocked at how poorly I scored on the math section.

I desperately needed guidance to truly understand the exam and how to approach the math concepts being tested.

The topical homeworks and abundant practice drilled the content into my mind. Perhaps most crucially, I reviewed and analyzed after each practice test with the video solutions in order to hammer home my weaknesses and continuously improve.

The virtual environment was ideal – I could participate from the comfort of my home while still receiving highly interactive, personalized guidance. The teachers fostered a fun yet productive dynamic, and I even got placed in classes with friends also taking the course.

Though the program demanded significant time and effort outside of school, Peace of Pi gave me all the resources and accountability I needed to stay committed. By rigorously working through the materials, I experienced a remarkable 220 point improvement on the SAT math section, jumping from a 540 to a 760!

While the course ended months ago, I’m still equipped with an invaluable vault of knowledge and strategies to continue prepping for an even higher score. I highly recommend this program to any student looking to truly master the math on the SAT. The engaging virtual format, challenging yet manageable curriculum, and unwavering support from instructors is unmatched.

Hey everyone! My name is Farzana and during the end of my junior year at Coral Reef High, I faced a crucial challenge with my SAT scores.

Recognizing the need for improvement, I turned to Peace of Pi, a tutoring service recommended by friends who had seen significant progress.

My experience with Peace of Pi was nothing short of transformative. Contrary to my initial expectations, the program was highly interactive and tailored to individual needs. Unlike my previous tutoring experience, which felt disjointed and unproductive, Peace of Pi engaged me with its interactive online platform, keeping me constantly challenged and accountable.

Weekly packets and practice tests not only reinforced concepts but also provided insights into my progress. The instructors were attentive and supportive, ensuring that I stayed on track and addressed my weaknesses effectively.

Reflecting on my journey, I realized the importance of early preparation. While I initially underestimated the SAT’s significance, I now advocate for starting prep as early as possible. The earlier one begins, the more time there is for improvement and mastery of key concepts.

In hindsight, my decision to enroll in Peace of Pi was one of the best I made during my high school years. It not only boosted my SAT scores but also equipped me with invaluable skills and confidence for future academic endeavors. I wholeheartedly recommend the program to anyone seeking to maximize their SAT potential and beyond.
