Teaching & Mentoring Mathematics

Teaching and mentoring are central to how I engage with mathematics. My experience includes undergraduate mathematics instruction, peer and drop-in tutoring, and the development of tools for understanding and improving academic support. I aim to help students build both mathematical understanding and confidence in their own problem-solving.

Graduate Teaching Assistant

Department of Mathematics and Statistics · Saint Louis University

As a graduate teaching assistant, I work with undergraduate mathematics students while pursuing my Ph.D. My teaching emphasizes clear mathematical reasoning, active problem solving, and helping students understand the ideas behind the procedures they use.

Courses Taught / Supported

Fall 2026

MATH 1510 — Calculus I Sections 301, 302, 303

Discussion Instructor

Guided problem-solving sessions supporting Calculus I topics including limits, derivatives, applications of differentiation, and introductory integration, with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning.

Mathematics Tutoring at Fort Hays State University

During my undergraduate studies at Fort Hays State University, I worked extensively with students through peer and Mathematics Department drop-in tutoring. Working with students across a range of mathematics courses shaped my approach to teaching: focusing not only on reaching an answer, but on identifying gaps in understanding, asking productive questions, and helping students develop greater independence as problem solvers.

To better understand use of the Mathematics Department's drop-in tutoring service, I developed a dashboard for tracking and visualizing tutoring activity. The dashboard summarized measures such as total visits, unique students, repeat visits, course-level usage, and patterns in tutoring demand.
