+170 in Math
“Peace of Pi made my dreams possible, and I’m so grateful for the confidence this experience has given me!”
I’ve always been strong in math, but when it came to the SAT, I just wasn’t getting the score I needed. It was frustrating because I knew I could do better, but the results didn’t show that.
I was honestly nervous about doing tutoring on Zoom with Peace of Pi. Similarly to many others, online learning didn’t work for me in the past. I would soon come to realize that Peace of Pi was so different. The tutors focused on each of us individually, making sure we understood our mistakes, and that approach helped me learn so much.
The course was definitely a lot of work! I dedicated 1 to 2 hours daily, and honestly, it was worth it. They kept me on top of every assignment, pushing me to keep going. My tutor was so kind and taught in a way that made things click.
I improved my score by 170 points, ending up with a 730 in math! This score allowed me to earn 100% Bright Futures, which is such a relief as I start my senior year. For anyone else on this journey, my advice is simple: do all the homework and practice tests. It’s the practice that made the biggest difference for me. Peace of Pi made my dreams possible, and I’m so grateful for the confidence this experience has given me.
