How did you get started teaching?
I was a teaching assistant as an undergraduate student for the Mathematics and Computer Science department at my university. Since then I have continued my practice into graduate school.
What types of students have you worked with?
High school and college, mostly.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I think the benefit of remote learning is the ability to leverage technology to connect with students regardless of location.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make it a habit to practice whatever you're struggling with a little bit every day. You'll feel much more prepared on your tests even if you had difficulty on the homework.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Try to work through a simple version of the type of problem you're working on, then extrapolate your learnings to tougher ones.
