Tutor
For the last five years, I have worked as a tutor in our departments tutoring center. As a tutor I have developed an expertise in the standard undergraduate math curriculum, from college algebra up to linear algebra and differential equations.
TA Coach
I am the TA Coach for a research team composed of faculty from the University of Memphis; Auburn; and University of Colorado, Denver. The NSF funded research is focused on developing pedagogical training for new graduate teachers. As the TA Coach, I perform classroom observations, I lead meetings to discuss the findings of the research team with the graduate student teachers, and I serve as a liaison between the students and the research team.
