Biography

I have been a TA for 5 courses now, at the University of Toronto. I have prepared and taught lessons for first and second year students of Linear Algebra, Calculus 1 (2x), and Ordinary Differential Equations (2x). I have also experienced creating and administering weekly quizzes in my tutorials.

I also have experience as a private math tutor for a high school student. I meet with this student once a week and his grades have improved by about 25% since we started. I have been tutoring him for 3 years now (he is currently in 11th grade), and as a result he is consistently getting marks in the high 80s to 90s range.
