Excerpt from INDIA ABROAD, March 31, 2006: [Dissatisfied with available SAT preparation options]
“Dasigi decided to teach SAT prep classes, only making them more interactive, including additional
tips, and keeping the interest high among students by talking their language – having a brainstorming
session about Harry Potter, for instance… Though [the course] takes place at the temple, it is open
to anyone. People who are neither Hindus nor Indians are also welcome.”
Excerpt from KHABAR, October 2007: “Doing well in SAT depends as much on attitude as on aptitude…
The main point Dr. Dasigi stressed on was ‘Practice,’ along with good reasoning.”
