I consider my ability to communicate and teach material in a variety of ways to be one of my biggest strengths. Further, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience both leading group classes as well as providing extensive one-on-one help in office hours and tutoring sessions. I pride myself on working with students to figure out the best method for them individually, whether it be learning based more on stories, diagrams, formulas, or real world examples. I've worked as a TA for over 10 semesters in both micro and macro classes. Selected comments from student evaluations are below, with full reviews available on request.
