My name is Veronica Cueto, and I’m a Junior at Carrollton. Choosing Peace of Pi Learning for SAT Math tutoring was the best decision I made for my academic journey. I first realized I needed tutoring during the summer. I really wanted to get it out of the way early to avoid the stress of schoolwork.
The PSAT I took the year before didn’t meet my expectations. Scoring around 1140, I knew I had to raise my score for Bright Futures and to secure admission to UF. My strength was always in math, and I trusted Peace of Pi after it was recommended by my brother, Andres.
Choosing the summer was strategic. The course was rigorous, and I wanted to focus without the added stress of schoolwork. I saw math as my strength, just because if you know the formulas and stuff, you can get it. But in school, I felt like math was getting so much harder that I thought it wasn’t my strong suit anymore. Peace of Pi helped me regain that confidence in my math skills.
The classes weren’t what I expected. I thought there would be 30 kids in one Zoom call and it would be super chaotic, but it was like a real class with only five kids. The teachers were always calling on you to make sure you paid attention. I had a couple of tutors, Mars and Vicky, who were great at explaining concepts and keeping me engaged.
The four-hour classes seemed daunting initially, but having a break helped. I accepted it as part of my routine, and it became manageable. Describing the service to others, I stress the need for time commitment and dedication. Peace of Pi is really on top of you, making sure you keep up with the workload. It’s something I really appreciated.
The practice tests also gave me a really solid understanding of what to expect on the SAT. I felt mentally prepared and more confident because of them. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I got into the actual SAT. It starts off easy, and then it gets more difficult, and since I knew that I could mentally prepare myself for the test more. I felt more confident because it felt like I had basically already taken a bunch of these.
I started at 540 and ended with a 790 in math. It opened doors to more college options and significantly reduced the stress about reaching my desired scores. This journey made me realize the importance of consistency, effort, and not letting uncertainty scare you. Thank you, Peace of Pi Learning, for making SAT prep an amazing experience for me!
