Thomas dos Santos Lara
+220 in Math
“Peace of Pi gave me all the resources and accountability I needed to stay committed!”
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. Despite being a solid math student in school, the questions on the SAT completely threw me for a loop. The formatting, wording, and complexity was unlike anything I had seen before. I desperately needed guidance to truly understand the exam and how to approach the math concepts being tested.
That’s when I heard about Peace of Pi’s virtual SAT tutoring program from friends who had amazing score improvements after taking the course. While I was initially nervous about the online group format, Peace of Pi’s engaging instructors and well-designed curriculum quickly put my concerns to rest.
Over the rigorous program, I received incredibly thorough instruction that comprehensively covered every math topic that could appear on the SAT. 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!
This outstanding score increase not only qualified me for Florida’s Bright Futures scholarship, but opened up my college options to reach for higher-ranked universities that typically look for scores in the 1400s. I’m incredibly grateful to Peace of Pi for helping me maximize my potential.
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. With Peace of Pi’s exceptional program, you too can realize remarkable scoring gains and bright academic horizons.
