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.
