Teaching & Mentorship

In the Spring 2026 semester, I am an instructor of record for one section of MATH 1071Q: Calculus for Business and Economics. Below is a course description, along with descriptions for courses I have taught or TAed for previously. If you are a student and have questions, I'm happy to discuss them over email or during my office hours.

I am also a mentor in our department's Grad Student Mentor Network and have been a mentor in our department's Directed Reading Program on projects about homological algebra, commutative algebra, and elliptic curves.

Alongside these mentorship roles, I have tutored for the department's Algebra Preliminary Exam twice, once during Winter 2024-25 and once during Winter 2025-26. Below are the notes from my Winter 2025-26 tutoring sessions. The linear algebra content followed Linear Algebra Done Right by Axler and the remaining content followed Abstract Algebra by Dummit and Foote.
