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 112 times (and counting) by The New Yorker. I’m proud to sit on the board of the Ali Forney Center, the largest LGBTQ+ youth homeless shelter in the country

I began this journey because I have math anxiety and want to help as many kids and adults as I can. If you’d like to say hi, 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.
