I knew I was in trouble when I took my first ever PSAT at school and realized that I did not know how to do almost anything on the test. I got a 540 – which was 23 total answers incorrect. Because Covid happened my freshman year, my math foundation was already pretty rocky. Having to take math virtually during my junior year was an incredible challenge. I was my own teacher, and I had nobody to ask for help if I didn’t understand a concept. I had no confidence in my ability to learn math, let alone pass the final exam. I didn’t even know how to factor or simplify radicals. I had no idea how I was going to get a higher SAT math score.

I found Peace of Pi through previous students on Instagram, and after taking a look through the Instagram page, I immediately noticed how well Renan explains concepts and how he seemed to have a really fun personality that would make learning more motivating. I also saw the improvements from other kids who had lower scores than me, which gave me hope that I could do it too and prompted me to sign up for the March Prep 2022 Course.

From day 1, Renan and his team were incredibly organized and knew exactly what I needed to learn before we even had our first class. During each class, Renan gave us the perfect balance of pushing us to be our best, and also making sure we were having fun. He broke down every concept in multiple ways and would recognize our exact mistakes without seeing our work yet. Renan was able to help me at all hours of the day for any and every question. He fully believed in me and all of his students and pushed us to believe in ourselves.

I got a 760 on my first attempt of the SAT, which is a 220 point improvement and puts me in the 99th percentile nationally! I never would have imagined that I could achieve such a high score. From getting a 760, I qualified for the Bright Futures Scholarship, received a Math Excellence Award from my school, and got only one question wrong on my final exam. Taking this prep course instilled in me confidence that I can do anything I set my mind to, made me start to love math, and also left me with an incredible foundation of math knowledge that I will take with me through college.

I can’t thank Renan enough for believing in me and working very hard to make sure I had exactly what I needed to succeed. Renan is the best teacher I’ve ever had, and I would highly recommend Peace of Pi to anyone looking to improve on their SAT, and even math in general.
