Concerning my educational background, I have a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I am currently working towards my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in a dual school program at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University.
A firm grasp on math concepts such as algebra is key to success not only in multiple career industries but in everyday life (budgeting, travel, etc.). My general approach to math concepts is to find the key patterns or effects of changing a value in certain equations. When I teach, I point out these patterns to students and have them observe the effects on a graph or in calculations. I also tend to search for the practical applications of each math concept so that the student not only knows when to apply the lesson based on a word/equation prompt, but also can apply it to everyday life to help their understanding stick.
Over the years, I have never missed an opportunity to assist in making math concepts accessible to others. I have about 4 years of teaching experience. In high school (2016), I tutored prealgebra concepts my peers in an after school volunteer program. During the summers of my undergraduate years (2017-2019), I took a more personal approach and tutored algebra and geometry to smaller groups of students to prepare them for the upcoming school year. One group was a set of twins preparing for Geometry and Honors Algebra/Geometry courses in the following year. Another student was a middle school student preparing for Geometry coursework the next year. In both cases, I had the opportunity to practice online teaching methods through Zoom, to prepare lessons and worksheets based on online resources and the Georgia curriculum, and to adjust my presentations in real time to suit the learning style of each individual. In graduate school (2022-2023), as a Statistics TA, I continued practicing these one-on-one techniques through Zoom office hours to about 40 students per semester.
