Mr. and Mrs. Panwar are amazing teachers who have helped me gain deep insight into various subjects throughout my academic journey.

I took Mr.Panwar’s Algebra 1 class in the 8th grade and Geometry class in the 9th grade. Mr. Panwar helped me approach the material conceptually, which allowed me to directly apply my understanding to homework from those courses. I was also confident in approaching higher level math courses (e.g. Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus) because Mr. Panwar had helped me build a strong mathematical foundation.

I also took Mr. and Mrs. Panwar’s SAT course during the summer of 2019. The course was very clearly structured with in-class lessons and relevant practice material for every week. Mrs. Panwar helped me significantly improve my knowledge in grammar and strategize my approach to reading comprehension. Mr. Panwar helped me strengthen my understanding of concepts in both of the math sections. I scored within my desired range on the SAT. I also qualified for the PSAT 11/NMSQT using the tools I learned from the summer SAT course.

I highly recommend Gaussian to every student!

Elaine is a wonderful teacher. She works diligently with her students. She cares about them and works around with her students. My old son had SAT prep with her during the past summer. She not only well-prepared all kinds of material, administered mock tests, but also kept track of his progress. She patiently worked with us to figure out a right schedule for him. Due to limited time my son had for SAT practice, Elaine tailored her teaching material and provided strategies for reading faster and efficiently. That was a game-changer. Elaine is very experienced and even precisely predicted how well my son would perform on his real test. We are very happy for the experience with her. Now my younger son has also joined the Gaussian school.

My son has been in Mrs. Panwar’s English class for more than five years. This is always one of his favorite classes. Mrs. Panwar encourages her students to read articles (for example, articles from Scholastic News) and books heavily. The class also has a focus on vocabulary. Homework is carefully assigned and graded. Student progress is frequently communicated with parents. During Covid 19, Mrs. Panwar spent a lot of effort on keeping the students involved with remote learning. The result is satisfactory from all aspects, in terms of reading, vocabulary, and various assessments in English. As parents of a student in Mrs. Panswar’s class for many years, we strongly recommend her class!
