Teaching
K-20Â Experience
I worked in the tutoring sector for 10 years, teaching students from early learning into graduate school (Statistics and Quantitative Inquiry courses) in Mathematics and related subjects, such as Physics and Chemistry. Sessions were taught in one-on-one and small group formats using formative assessments to consistently review and check for student understanding. In addition, high school mathematics, test prep, and enrichment courses were designed to align with learning objectives and engage students.
Teaching Philosophy
I believe that education has the power to broaden perspectives, engage thinking, and create opportunities for student success. In my classroom, these goals are achieved by employing overarching tenets that shape the courses and learning environments that I develop. First, I believe learning happens when relationships can be built with students. Second, historic discrimination and continued biases require a critical lens to be embedded throughout teaching. Finally, students should have opportunities to play a role in their learning. Read my full Teaching Philosophy here.
Higher Education Experience
As a teaching assistant, I had the opportunity to contribute to the design of a new graduate course, School Finance and Economics. I also completed lessons, built activities, and identified readings in order to facilitate class sessions, in-person and online, for Community Engagement and Culturally Responsive Practices, a graduate course. I have worked as the teacher of record for the Neeley School of Business GMAT Preparation Course, helping students to identify study areas and strategies for assessment, as well as review foundational knowledge.
