Preeti

Preeti Potdar enjoyed a successful IT career in the corporate world before she decided that she didn’t want to live in a cubicle and talk to computers all day. So she changed careers and became a lecturer at a CUNY college, teaching her favorite subject: Math. When she was in the 5th grade, Preeti developed a fear of math because of a very strict teacher; 8 years later, an amazing college professor changed Preeti’s attitude towards math, got her to enjoy the subject and excel in it. Preeti understands how crippling the fear of math can be to a student’s self-confidence, and she makes it her mission to help each student conquer that fear and succeed at math. Preeti places emphasis on the basic concepts – she believes that when you start out with a firm grasp on the basics, you can then figure out how to solve any problem before you.
Preeti is working towards an M.S. Education degree with a concentration in Mathematics at Brooklyn College. She holds an undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Preeti currently works as an IT consultant with non-profits in NYC and has taught math as a private tutor and college lecturer for over 10 years.
