Teaching

I love teaching students math and engineering, and I am lucky to have had the opportunity to teach students of all ages through MIT and Stanford.

Right now, I am a tutor for wonderful high school students at Live In Peace. In the fall and winter quarters of 2019-2020, I was an insructor in the Stanford Math Circle for grades 1-4. During the winter quarter, my co-instructor, Felipe Hernandez, and I designed and taught a curriculum on finite cellular automata.

For my final project in CS250, I wrote lesson plans for a series of fun workshops for middle/high schoolers in coding theory. I have gotten to try some of the lessons out at Stanford Splash and Stanford Math Circle.

During my junior and senior years at MIT, I taught freshman multivariable calculus enrichement seminars for Seminar XL.

In my senior year, I mentored high schoolers at MIT PRIMES Circles in group theory.

In 2016, travelled to Israel on MIT's Global Teaching Lab program to teach at the Ecological Greenhouse at Kibbutz Ein-Shemer. There, I worked with students to build a full adder using water-based logic gates (picture on left)! Since I loved building full adders so much, I taught a workshop on building transistor-based full adders to kids while biking across the US on Spokes. Here is a write-up of the lesson plan for the workshop.

Here is one of my favorite pieces on math education: A Mathematician's Lament.
