Ram Govindasamy
	Ram Govindasamy has been a SAT instructor since 2013. He lives in the Valley Ranch with his wife Sujatha and daughters Janani Shree and Jahnavi Shree. Coming to the temple every Sunday has been a rewarding experience for his whole family. Both his daughters attend religion and Tamil classes from which they immensely benefit. Ram has been volunteering since his college days. For Ram, Vidya Vikas has been a double blessing, an institution where his daughters learn the values of Hindu religion and Tamil/Hindi language and where he also gets to teach the bright and young minds of our community the techniques of problem solving and equipping them with the knowledge and skill to score higher in SAT. Ram enjoys breaking & building stuff, gardening, music of all ages and reading history, science and math.
