• Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

  • Jan 2018 - May 2019

  Taught a lab section of 24 students in an introductory chemistry course. Experiments included titrations, synthesis of aspirin, and coffee cup calorimetry. In this role, I was responsible for grading lab notebooks, writing the lab midterm and final exam, and keeping students safe during experiments.

• Supplemental instruction leader (SIL)

  • Aug 2016 - May 2019

  Facilitate teaching/practice sessions for specific chemistry courses (introductory, general, and organic). I made worksheets for every session that highlighted the key material covered in lecture. The students would work in groups to solve the problems. I check on each group and answer any specific questions. On occasion, some material was confusing for many students. When this happened, I would teach this material at the board.
