Prisha: Vernon Hills tutor

Certified Tutor

As a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I'm passionate about problem-solving and helping others learn. Tutoring gives me the chance to make challenging subjects more accessible and to celebrate the "aha!" moments that build confidence and curiosity.

I've worked with students from elementary to high schoolteaching coding at Code Ninjas and LeapCoderz, and tutoring math and science through UPchieve, a nonprofit serving under-resourced communities. I tutor a range of subjects, including Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Physics, Statistics, and Microeconomics. I especially enjoy math and physics for the way they blend logic and creativity, and I strive to make these subjects feel less intimidating through clear, engaging explanations.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in empathy and adaptabilityI meet students where they are, build their confidence, and tailor sessions to their learning style.
