Teaching
Mathematics is a beautiful subject that I love to teach. In every class I strive to impart my enthusiasm for mathematics to all of my students. Further, I believe the best learning occurs when students interact with content in a variety of ways, and because of this I use a mix of teaching modalities: peer-to-peer learning activities, flipped classroom, active lecture, etc. My goal is to create a comfortable and failure-tolerant environment in the classroom.
During the 2023-2023 academic year, I taught:
Complex Variables (Spring 24)
Algebraic Structures (Fall 23)
Calculus 1 (Fall 23, Spring 24)
At Oberlin College I taught:
Group Theory (Spring 23, Spring 22)
Discrete Mathematics (Fall 22)
Calculus I (Fall 21, Spring 21, Fall 20)
Calculus Ib (Spring 23, Spring 22, Spring 21)
Calculus Ia (Fall 22, Fall 21, Fall 20)
At Binghamton University, I was instructor of record for:
Multivariable Calculus (Fall 19, Fall 18)
Linear Algebra (Spring 20, Spring 19, Spring 18)
Calculus II (Spring 17, Spring 16)
Calculus I (Fall 17, Fall 16, Spring 16, Fall 15)
Algebra and Trigonometry (Spring 15)
and I was a TA for Elementary Statistics (Fall 14)
Before going to Binghamton University, I taught at Roanoke-Chowan Community College in Ahoskie, NC, and before that I was a graduate teaching assistant at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA as well as Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. The courses I variously taught and TA'd are:
Basic Math Skills, Developmental Mathematics, Precalculus (RCCC)
Mathematical Patterns, Intro. to Modern Algebra, Basic Concepts of Mathematics (Temple)
Calculus (I, II), Intro. to Statistics (WFU)
While at WFU, I worked as a tutor in the WFU Math Center. Similarly, during my undergraduate degree at Berry College in Mt Berry, GA I worked as a tutor in the Math Lab.
Additionally, for the last ten years I have taught during summers at the Governor's School of North Carolina, a residential program for academically gifted high school students in the state of North Carolina. Over the years I have taught courses on mathematical foundations, group theory, ring theory, and graph theory.
