Before I started my PhD, I didn't really know what research was like. It was my passion for teaching that made me apply to PhD programs, hoping it would get me a university teaching job some day. Luckily, I came to enjoy research as well, but my love for teaching never went away.
Here are some quotes left anonymously by my students in my teaching evaluation forms:
"She really helped me review subjects learned that week and solidify concepts. I really liked how she would create example problems for us to do as a class. She was also very approachable during recitation and I was never afraid to ask questions."
"She is amazing and made an effort to teach us concepts and work through our questions."
"Chayansudha is a very effective TA who can break down complicated proofs in simpler terms. She is attentive to students who appear confused and spends time to make sure we all understand what is going on. I recall struggling to understand pointwise vs uniform convergence in lecture but she provided a very effective illustration that helped me understand immediately."
