      I taught Math 150 (Calculus I: with review). Calculus is near and dear to my heart because it is the subject that got me interested in mathematics as a first year university student. It is my pleasure to share this beautiful subject with others and I can only hope they get just as excited about it as I do!

    • Teaching Assistant
      • Sep 2015 - Apr 2017

      Two terms in a row I was the the tutor marker for an online correspondence course, Principles of Mathematics for Teachers.

I have also been the teaching assistant at Simon Fraser University for Introduction to Analysis.

    • Calculus Workshop Tutor
      • Sep 2014 - Apr 2017

      The Calculus Workshop is a drop-in clinic where first and second calculus students can some for supplementary instruction. In the workshop, I tailor to individual student learning styles and promote independent learning among students. I also invigilate and grade quizzes, midterms, and finals.

      • Sep 2016 - Dec 2016

      I worked on the analytics team at Neurio which proved to be a great opportunity to expand my horizons and develop my role as a working mathematician. The team works on a variety of back-end projects, motivated by discussions with the upper management team on what is next for the company. To achieve these goals, I worked with Python, MySQL, and Github. At the beginning of the four months I had only ever coded to achieve some mathematical outcome, so it was exciting to code in this new way.

      As a Supplemental Instruction leader I lectured for first year Calculus (September-December) and first year Linear Algebra (January-April). For these, I prepared and lectured for 50-minutes three times per week, going over many examples and explaining the subject material in great detail. I also gave midterm and final exam reviews which were typically three hours.
