Testimonials

My name is Rodrigo Blanco, and I’m a Belen Jesuit senior. Initially, I approached Peace of Pi for SAT Math tutoring after realizing the need to raise my math score beyond what I was at. When I first took the SAT, I kind of just took it blind without trying any tutoring, and I got a 640. It wasn’t a bad score, but I wanted it to be higher so that my score would align with my academic aspirations.

Before discovering Peace of Pi, I had started this other prep, and I thought it was going pretty well. However, my results didn’t show that I was really learning much. I only had a 30-point increase, so obviously, I knew I had to do something else.Dissatisfied with these results, I turned to Peace of Pi!

I never liked the idea of Zoom learning because I had done it before during COVID. Honestly, I was scared to go into it. But my parents told me I had to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did! In the end, the virtual group lessons proved to be super beneficial. The collaborative learning environment let me hear diverse perspectives, deepening my understanding of math concepts. I found myself engaged and focused the whole time!

The instructors at Peace of Pi guided us through all the intricacies of the SAT Math section, emphasizing content and crucial test-taking strategies. Balancing homework assignments and practice tests was initially challenging, but it ultimately contributed to my score improvement.

Through the effort and support of Peace of Pi, I achieved a remarkable score of 780! This almost-perfect score was a significant jump from my starting point of 640. This achievement boosted my confidence and opened doors to many academic opportunities, including the Bright Futures scholarships and admission to universities both in and out of state, like Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, UM, and UF. 

Reflecting on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Peace of Pi to any student seeking to excel in SAT Math. The program’s approach and the dedication of its instructors ensure that every student can realize their full potential with perseverance and commitment. As I begin the next phase of my academic journey, I am immensely grateful to Peace of Pi for giving me the skills and confidence to succeed.

Hello! I’m Dakota Rosher, a senior at Miami Palmetto Senior High. Before discovering Peace of Pi’s tutoring program, I had tried a Zoom-based tutoring service, but it lacked the depth and personalized attention I needed to excel. Determined to improve my SAT scores, which were initially at 1310 and 1360, I sought out a program that could truly elevate my skills.

The driving force behind my quest for improvement was my college aspirations. Striving for excellence in education demanded nothing less than top-tier SAT preparation, and Peace of Pi came highly recommended by a friend who excels academically.

Upon joining the program, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the group dynamic. While I had anticipated more one-on-one interaction, I quickly realized the value of independent study and personal effort. Utilizing the available materials for self-study before group sessions proved to be immensely beneficial.

As someone who hadn’t previously struggled with math, I underestimated the level of dedication required for SAT preparation. However, through diligent practice and the guidance of Peace of Pi, I saw significant improvement. Initially scoring a 640 in math, I eventually reached an impressive 730. Moreover, my overall SAT score skyrocketed from 1310 to 1510, opening doors to prestigious institutions like Georgia Tech.

I attribute much of my success to Peace of Pi’s structured approach and unwavering support. The program not only provided quality practice materials but also motivated me to stay on track through deadlines and assignments. The Whatsapp chat served as a constant source of encouragement, ensuring I remained focused on my goals.

I am immensely grateful for the invaluable assistance provided by Peace of Pi. Their program has not only helped me achieve my academic goals but has also instilled in me the confidence to pursue my dreams. I wholeheartedly recommend Peace of Pi to any student seeking to excel on the SAT and beyond.

As a driven twelfth grader at MAST Academy, I recently had a transformative SAT tutoring experience with Peace of Pi that improved my score. After months of diligent work with my tutor from Peace of Pi, I increased my score by 70 points!

I was initially confident in my abilities, but my mom encouraged me to pursue tutoring to reach my full potential. My dad’s promise to buy me a new car if I could hit 1550 on the SAT further motivated this decision!

The virtual tutoring sessions with Peace of Pi were not just engaging, but also tailored to my specific needs. They were filled with practice questions and opportunities for collaboration with fellow students. I even managed to score a perfect 800 in math. The key to my success was my unwavering commitment to diligently complete the daily homework assignments from my tutor.

My family and I even prioritized my tutoring sessions while traveling, demonstrating our shared commitment to my goals. I also prepared extensively for the SAT using the practice exams from Peace of Pi. This allowed me to anticipate the fatigue that sets in during the actual 3+ hour test.

Ultimately, I scored 1540 on the SAT, with a perfect 800 in math. Thanks to Peace of Pi’s expert guidance, I feel confident about my college applications. Due to heavy academic workloads, I advise other students to start tutoring over the summer. My SAT journey highlights the benefits of dedicated practice, family support, and vision-driven tutoring that I received from Peace of Pi.

My name is Valeria Kaswalder, and as a senior at Robert Morgan Educational Center, I sought help with my SAT preparation. The realization hit when I noticed the expectations of colleges regarding SAT scores, and my own scores fell short. Despite taking two SATs, with a 1260 on pen and paper and a 1320 on the digital version, my motivation to study independently was lacking. I recognized the need for improvement, particularly in math, where I scored 570 on pen and paper and 660 on the digital test.

Unable to retake the digital test and aim for a score in the 1400s to 1500s, I decided to seek tutoring. Prior attempts at self-study and tutoring elsewhere proved ineffective, leaving me feeling lost and unmotivated. The lack of clarity in understanding crucial math concepts, aggravated by disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, left me struggling with basics like factoring.

Before the pandemic, I was an average math student, competent but not passionate about the subject. The virtual learning environment during the pandemic exacerbated my struggles with understanding, as the teaching methods failed to resonate with me. The frustration peaked when vital concepts were rushed, assuming prior knowledge that I had missed during the lockdown.

Upon learning about the tutoring service through a friend of my mom’s, I delved deep into their Instagram, impressed by the evident results in score improvements. With a summer devoid of plans, I decided to invest my time in studying for a better future.Joining the virtual group environment exceeded my expectations. Initially expecting larger groups, the smaller, interactive sessions kept me engaged and focused. This stark contrast to the disengaged learning during the pandemic provided a refreshing and effective approach.

My tutor, Cori, played a significant role in my progress. Her dedicated approach, meticulous error analysis, and occasional stories about her dog created a personalized and enriching learning experience. The live chat feature facilitated interaction and feedback, making the learning process more dynamic.

The intensive nature of the course demanded effort, but the support and guidance provided by the tutors made it worthwhile. The emphasis on shortcuts, especially for SAT math, and the abundance of practice questions mirroring the actual SATs were instrumental in my improvement.

Ultimately, my initial score of 570 rose to an impressive 730, marking a 160-point increase. This accomplishment secured my eligibility for 100% Bright Futures and opened doors to numerous colleges, including UCF, Florida Tech, Stetson, and others. My newfound confidence in my math skills has met and exceeded my expectations.

Reflecting on this transformative journey, I express deep gratitude for the course that reignited my interest in math and helped me achieve scores that seemed unattainable before. The tutors’ dedication and the program’s effectiveness have left an indelible mark on my academic journey, preparing me for a future filled with opportunities.

Hi! My name is Julio Nunez. I’m a Belen Jesuit Junior and tutored with Peace of Pi! I had always considered myself pretty decent at math and could get by in my classes without too much extra effort. However, my PSAT math scores in 9th and 10th grade told a different story. It was the wake-up call that I needed to get serious about prep if I wanted to achieve my SAT goals.

I knew I liked math and had the potential to improve dramatically if I brushed up on foundational concepts from earlier grades that I’d long forgotten. The problem was I didn’t have time between sports, clubs, and social commitments to self-study properly. I needed guidance from experts. That’s when a senior at my school, Diego Gonzalez, suggested I look into Peace of Pi Learning’s SAT math prep program. He attributed his own high score to their summer intensive course. I was intrigued but hesitant – would virtual classes keep me focused? Could I really improve that much in a few short months?

Still, I took the leap and signed up, knowing that dedicating my summer would give me an edge over my peers. The structured curriculum ensured I stayed on track even when I lacked motivation. My instructor patiently filled in gaps in Algebra, Geometry, and more that had hindered me in the past.

The virtual format brought unexpected benefits. Being grouped with students at my same level let me progress faster through concepts. Chatting and exchanging strategies online built a great environment. I realized how much I could gain from collaborative learning versus studying alone. By the end of the summer, my skills and confidence had skyrocketed. I scored a 750 on the first SAT, then 760, before hitting that perfect 800! This far exceeds my goal of 100-point improvement. Peace of Pi’s seasoned instructors and proven teaching methods catalyzed my success.

Looking back, I took a big risk enrolling in virtual SAT prep, but the reward has been life-changing. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Peace of Pi Learning. Their expert faculty and comprehensive curriculum empowered me to reach my potential. If you’re on the fence, take a leap of faith—with their guidance, you, too, can crush your SAT math goals!

Hey! My name is Julia Freire, and I’m a senior at MAST. I took the Peace of Pi Learning SAT prep course for the November 2022 and August 2023 SAT exams. I needed more practice and content review because I lacked confidence and scored poorly on PSATs compared to my target. Seeing peers succeed on the SAT without prep made me stressed that I’d end up submitting low scores on college applications.

A friend who previously took the course said it involved a lot of work but was efficient and delivered results. I had tried other prep programs that didn’t help much, so I was willing to work hard with Peace of Pi to really improve. The daily assigned work was the best thing I could have done. It prevented me from forgetting what we learned in class and helped clarify concepts I was initially fuzzy. Having deadlines for each assignment also helped me stay organized and on track.

Initially, I expected that contributing to Zoom would make me uncomfortable and distractible. But the highly interactive class format got me engaged in speaking up, asking questions, and staying focused. I was also intimidated by group learning at first. However, seeing most others make mistakes, too, reassured me. The small groups also helped me become more comfortable.

I increased my math score by over 200 points, far exceeding my expectations! This reduced my senior year stress and boosted my confidence when applying to Florida schools requiring SAT scores. Thank you, Peace of Pi, for all your help – I couldn’t have done it without you!

Hey! My name is Tom Sela. I’m a Junior at Don Soffer High School, and I tutored with Peace of Pi! Before POP, I felt very lost when it came to SAT math preparation. I had struggled through previous math classes and scored poorly on the PSAT, leaving me worried about how I would perform on the SAT’s math section. A friend recommended I look into SAT tutoring from Peace of Pi Learning. After learning about their experience helping students significantly raise their math scores, I decided to give it a try.

The instructors at Peace of Pi Learning were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Their confidence in their teaching abilities was evident, and they took the time to address all my questions thoroughly. I was impressed by how quickly they responded to any issues I was having outside of class. It was amazing customer service.

After completing the tutoring program, I scored 730 on the SAT math section! This result will allow me to focus my efforts on the reading section when I take the SAT again to superscore. I credit this outstanding achievement to the team at Peace of Pi Learning. I didn’t think I would be able to absorb so much math knowledge effectively through online tutoring, but their teaching far exceeded my expectations.

Initially, I assumed I would just be another face in a large group class. However, the small group format ensured I received personalized attention and ample help with any concepts I was struggling with. The instructors’ constant feedback and support were invaluable.

In summary, I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Peace of Pi Learning. Their expertise and commitment to students are second to none. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to maximize their SAT math performance.

Hi, my name is Freddy Romero, I’m a Junior at Doral Academy, and I want to tell you about my experience with Peace of Pi Learning. When it came to being prepared for my SAT, I was completely lost.  I had just struggled through pre-calculus and was feeling very unconfident about taking on the SAT math section. My uncle recommended I look into Peace of Pi Learning’s SAT tutoring services. After doing some research, it was clear they had a great track record of helping students achieve their target SAT math scores through a comprehensive review of the key math concepts.

I decided to sign up for their virtual tutoring program. Given my past struggles with math, I was skeptical that virtual learning would keep me engaged enough to absorb the material. I also had preconceived notions that the instructor would be an older professor type who would just lecture at us. However, my experience with Peace of PiLearning shattered those assumptions.

The virtual classroom environment was incredibly interactive. We were constantly doing practice problems and submitting answers, so I never found my mind wandering. The instructor also did a great job keeping things lively and relatable and understood how to connect with students my age. I was pleasantly surprised by how stimulating the virtual learning format could be.

Additionally, learning collaboratively in a small group format helped accelerate my progress. At first, I thought group learning would be annoying if I had to move at someone else’s pace. But it actually allowed me to learn from others’ mistakes and sharpen my skills through healthy competition. I formed friendships with like-minded peers, which made the learning experience fun. The group dynamic exceeded my expectations.

After completing the program, I scored a 680 on the SAT math section, qualifying me for the Bright Futures scholarship I needed for college. I credit this achievement to the excellent instructors and learning format at Peace of Pi. Despite my previous struggles with math, their tutoring gave me the knowledge and confidence to excel on the exam. I highly recommend their services to any student seeking to maximize their SAT math scores. Thanks POP!

HI! I’m Elizabeth Varela, a junior at the School for Advanced Studies at Kendall Campus. My journey with Peace of Pi SAT tutoring began after my sophomore year when I scored 520 on my PSAT, a result that didn’t align with my potential. I knew I could do better, but I needed a refresher. My mom had seen Peace of Pi on Instagram, and we decided to give it a shot for the summer.

I’ve always been confident in my math skills, having taken PreCalc and AP Calculus, so my low math score on the PSAT surprised me. I realized it was because I had forgotten some concepts over time. I joined Peace of Pi with the determination to improve my math score significantly.

Initially, I expected rigorous hours of studying, but the virtual group learning sessions were structured differently. The workload was manageable, and the four-hour classes each week, although intense, were worth it. I found myself engaged and focused during these sessions despite my initial concerns about online distractions. One of the best parts was having a fantastic tutor, Vicky/Victoria, who made the classes engaging and never made me feel bad about my mistakes.

On the day of the test, I was nervous but confident. I had given it my all during the preparation, and although I wished for more time during the exam, I realized that having extra time might not have necessarily led to a better outcome.

Ultimately, I achieved a score that I was content with in the SAT math section. Looking back, I appreciate my experience with Peace of Pi SAT tutoring. It wasn’t just about the program; it was about my commitment, parental support, and approaching the process with confidence. To future students, I’d say trust in the process, stay consistent, and believe in your abilities. Your effort will directly reflect your results.

Hi, Peace of Pi followers! My name is Zoe McMahon, and I’m a senior at Pompano Beach High School. When I first approached SAT prep, I realized I wasn’t retaining what I had studied with online courses like Khan Academy. Despite excelling in math, I struggled with remembering geometry and algebra concepts from middle school. 

My first SAT showed me my efforts weren’t working and left me feeling lost in my study methods. That’s when I heard about Peace of Pi Learning from my friend Chloe and her mom. Initially, I was hesitant and worried about feeling embarrassed or not participating enough. It was like that for me during virtual school, and I was scared it would be the same thing all over again. However, the smaller classroom environment with other students at a similar level made such a difference. 

The personalized attention and emphasis on repetition and mastering concepts truly stood out. It wasn’t like any online class I’d experienced during COVID. It was engaging and comfortable, and it encouraged participation without fear of judgment. What really stuck out to me the most about Peace of Pi was their commitment to every student’s success.

The program ensured that I wasn’t only taking practice tests but also understanding where I went wrong and learning from those mistakes. It was all about making it stick and knowing when and where to apply your knowledge. All the resources, video solutions and organized homework made learning accessible and effective. 

Reflecting on the program, I’d advise future students that commitment is key. The workload can be heavy, but a determined approach is exactly what you need to achieve success. Managing the workload is different between the school and summer programs. During school, I spread the work across days due to other things that got in the way, like homework or clubs. However, during summer, I focused on math exclusively, which made me more focused and allowed me to dedicate more time.

The second round of prep was actually more challenging for me. I aimed to improve from a higher score, and the higher you get, the harder it is to improve on the SAT. However, the gradual progression helped bridge gaps and made me feel capable of tackling more complex problems.

This program changed everything for me. After my first session, I went from a 580 to a 690, an already insane 110-point increase. And now, after another round in the program,, I’m consistently scoring in the 700s, with my highest score at 740!

But beyond the numbers, Peace of Pi Learning instilled confidence in me. Small victories in practice tests boosted my motivation and made me believe in my potential. It’s not just about the SAT; it’s also about the work ethic that’s going to serve me well beyond this test. The tutors didn’t just teach; they inspired and encouraged growth. The program’s organization, commitment to understanding student needs, and the way they challenge and motivate us set it apart.
