My teaching philosophy can be summarized in two words: student centered. Everything I do is based upon the idea that my class is for the students; my goal being to equip them with the knowledge necessary for their futures.

MATH 110: Calculus Discussion Sessions, 2 Sections
This course is a discussion and practice section for students to review and reinforce concepts needed in single variable calculus. Students will work in small groups under the guidance of the instructor.

MATH 102: Single Variable Calculus I
Continuation of MATH 101. Includes further techniques of integration, as well as infinite sequences and series, Taylor polynomials and Taylor series, parametric equations, arc length, polar coordinates, complex numbers, and Fourier polynomials.
Fall 2017 - Fall 2024
I have also been a TA or Grader for a multitude of courses during my undergraduate and graduate studies at Rice. These courses include MATH 220: Honors Differential Equations, MATH 221/222: Honors Multivariable Calculus, MATH 354: Honors Linear Algebra, and MATH 463/563: Advanced Algebra I.

AP Calculus BC, 2 Sections
The BC Calculus curriculum prescribed by the College Board includes those topics that, when added to the AB Calculus, constitute a “complete” first-year course in calculus at the college level. Advanced integration techniques, the analysis of polar and parametric equations, and infinite sequences and series are presented along with the rudiments of both multivariable calculus and differential equations. Students are required to use a TI-89 graphing calculator. This course prepares students for the AP Calculus BC Examination.
Precalculus, 3 Sections
In preparation for college-level calculus, the course covers solving various families of equations, functions and their inverses, exponential and logarithmic functions, power functions, polynomial and rational functions, and trigonometry. Students are required to have a TI-84 graphing calculator for this course.

Math Analysis
In preparation for college-level calculus, the course covers solving various families of equations, functions and their inverses, exponential and logarithmic functions, power functions, polynomial and rational functions, and trigonometry. Students are required to have a TI-84 graphing calculator for this course. In particular, this course covers the same material as Precalculus, but at a slower pace.
