Hello!
My name is Priti, and I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I've been teaching math for over 20 years, and I truly enjoy helping students gain both skill and confidence in the subject.

I tutor elementary, middle school, and high school students across a wide range of courses - Elementary Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus, including honors and advanced tracks. I also prepare students for the ACT (Math section) and SAT, focusing on test-taking strategies, time management, and multiple problem-solving approaches (including calculator shortcuts where helpful).

In addition, I have experience supporting homeschoolers and students taking online math courses. I guide them through the course material and provide supplementary documents whenever needed. After each session, I send personalized notes so students can keep practicing on their own.

Parents and students often tell me they notice improvements quickly: most of my students raise their grades to A's and B's, feel more confident in math, and many continue working with me throughout their high school years. Many New students work with me by booking an instant book session, and many continue throughout their school year by booking additional sessions through instant book.

I tutor year-round, including summer sessions, to help students catch up, stay sharp, or get ahead for the upcoming school year.

At the end of the day, math is my passion, and helping students succeed is what I do best.

ACT Math

ACT Math

I provide information to students on test taking skills, time management, and simple approaches to complicated problems. Also, I provide information on which problems should be performed using the calculator to obtain the correct answer in short amount of time. We work together to create Basic formula sheet to help them memorize the important topics needed for the test.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have tutored many students in the basic Algebra course & students who also have taken advanced courses. I have worked with students who have difficulty understanding the basic foundations of the course. I try to understand the missing links in their concepts and teach them effectively with my unique teaching skills. I also provide enough practice problems for them to improve their skills. I make sure I understand the need of the students and help them with patience. This way I create an environment where learning math becomes fun and productive.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have tutored many students in Algebra 2 courses with the topics dealing with factoring, FOILING, Solving for variables using quadratic equations, and graphing quadratic equations as well. I have also taught a solving system of equations using graphing, elimination (combination), and substitution methods. I have also worked on matrices, exponents, logs, the transformation of the graph and many other concepts covered in Algebra 2. I also provide students with additional practice, if needed, on any concepts before tests or finals. I am familiar teaching concepts on a scientific calculator when required by the course. Algebra 2 can be a difficult subject, but with practice, I can help students gain confidence and knowledge of these complex mathematical concepts.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

Elementary Math is the first basic subject to succeed in a series of higher-level math classes. I would love to develop the student's basic foundation in math with the right approach and using my teaching Technics. I make sure I understand the need of the students and help them with a patient. This way I create a desire to learn math rather than have to learn it. For example, I would teach the basic Multiplication facts by memorizing them in fun musical rhyme. I have taught my own son who is just starting his 2nd grade. I try to make math a fun subject.
Geometry

Geometry

I have tutored Geometry to many high school students. I have worked with many students who have difficulty understanding how to write out proofs using the different shapes and figures. I have also tutored students who have taken advanced courses as well. Geometry uses many properties and theorem to solve problems for angles, lines, triangles, and many more figures.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have taught pre-algebra to many students in the past. This course starts out with basic properties of operations such as associative, distributive, and many more. The course evaluates expression using an order of operations known as PEMDAS. Also, it has review of natural numbers, arithmetic operations, integers, fractions, decimals and negative numbers, factorization of natural numbers, problems involving ratios, proportions, percents, measurement, intro to standard Cartesian coordinate plane, and basic geometry problems. I have tutored my students with patience and provided them extra practice when needed for each topics they are struggling with. I make sure that students can enjoy and understand Pre-algebra and make math fun to learn.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have tutored regular pre-calculus and advance pre-calculus to many high school students. Some of the topics I have worked with are Polar and Rectangular Coordinates, Complex Numbers, Series and Sequences, Probability: Permutation & Combination, probability using Binomial Theorem, Introducing Limits, Introducing Derivatives, and many more topics that come along in pre-calculus. I improve their skills with extra practice and my unique teaching skills. I work patiently with student according to their need to make the learning productive and fun.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have tutored Trigonometry to many high school students. I have worked with many students who have difficulty memorizing unit circle in degrees, and radians with their values. Some of the topics I have worked with are converting the angles from radians to degrees & degree to radians, graphing trigonometry functions, applying properties & identities, law of Cos and law of sin. Also I have worked on many more topics that come along in trigonometry. I have also tutored students who have taken advanced courses as well.

Geometry

Priti was simply excellent.. very prepared / and extremely knowledgeable. Priti solved all the practice problems in advance . She went above and beyond. Highly recommend.

Mike, 1 lesson with Priti

Professional and Knowledgeable Tutor

Highly recommend Priti! From start to finish, she was well prepared and very patient. My daughter was having difficulty with Algebra 2 graphing. Priti reviewed the process step-by-step then had my daughter practice independently. She asked the right questions in order to better understand the specific area that was confusing. Will definitely be scheduling future tutoring services with Priti!

Angie, 1 lesson with Priti

Extremely helpful and well orepared

Before my daughter's session, Priti asked for the specific problems my daughter needed help with. So she came very well prepared, already knowing what the session needed to cover. It clearly meant that she had taken some time outside of just the one hour that was scheduled for the session. She was very helpful and straightforward. Would highly recommend. (Used for HS geometry - circles.)

T.J., 1 lesson with Priti

Knowledgeable and patient

Priti was available the same day, which was helpful because my son was struggling with a topic and had a quiz the next day. She was very knowledgeable and helped him with radical equations and he felt very confident after the session.

Paula, 1 lesson with Priti

Geometry Honors Help

Priti was prepared for my daughter’s lesson and helped her understand challenging concepts covered in her 9th grade honors geometry class. We will definitely be using Priti again when my daughter needs extra support.

Olivia , 6 lessons with Priti

Very pleased! Will book again.

Priti was able to accommodate my daughter’s schedule change. My daughter feels more confident and like she will be able to manage her math workload.

Sybilla, 2 lessons with Priti

Very pleased! Will book again.

My daughter was very pleased with her first session. Priti was thorough and patient and helped her understand the material.

Sybilla, 2 lessons with Priti

Absolutely Amazing...

We could not have asked for a better experience with Priti. From the start of my daughter's session, Priti invited her to ask questions and frequently checked in to ensure she understood. She was very engaged and seemed sincerely invested in my daughter's success on her upcoming benchmark testing. She even created additional questions to go over with my daughter, to ensure she understood. Despite her initial significant resistance with acquiring a tutor, she spoke highly of her session with Priti and welcomed additional sessions. We are very grateful!
