Hi! I am Aditya, a high school student in Illinois. I like tutoring and learning STEM here at schoolhouse, because that is what I am most passionate about. I have always found learning and helping others learn to be very satisfying, especially those "aha moments". Joining the SHW community as a tutor has very fun experience so far. I hope to see you you guys in my future sessions! :)

Hi! I'm Prakruti, an incoming freshman in the Bay Area! Let's see if we have common interests! ☄️ I love astronomy, and it's been my goal for a long time to become an engineer at NASA once I graduate! 🧮 I love math. It's one of my favorite subjects at school! I love math because it's based on logic and reasoning! ⛺ I love camping in my free time! It's comforting to me to escape into the middle of nowhere inside a cozy tent! 👩‍🏫 Tutoring. I currently tutor speech and debate, and I've worked with multiple local organizations in my community. I've also worked with other topics such as astronomy and English. 📱 DM me on Schoolhouse or SHW's Slack @prakruti s if you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding classes (session requests are always open!) or want to get to know me better :D.
