Hi! I’m Sheila Prakash (Sheesh). I went to Carnegie Mellon University and have been a private math tutor in New York City for 14 years. I’ve written for The New York Times and been rejected 40 times (and counting) by The New Yorker.

I began this journey because I have math anxiety and want to help as many kids and adults as I can. If you’re interested in tutoring, contact me at sheilap@alumni.cmu.edu.

I also love dinosaurs and audited Dr. Paul Olsen’s legendary Dinosaurs and the History of Life course at Columbia in the summer of 2024.
