I grade assignments, assist in lab sessions, and answer questions on Piazza for UChicago's summer session Intro to Comp Sci class.

I assisted in online mathematics and problem-solving classes for gifted, or otherwise alternative students, mainly via answering individual student questions during lecture.I graded student submissions on a scale from 1-10 based on correctness, creativity/elegance of methods used, and clarity of explanation of the problem-solving process to arrive at the answer.

I lead problem-solving sessions and individually work with a group of 5 gifted 11th and 12th grade Mathematics students as their summer camp counselor.

Independently studied and, with the assistance of a graduate mentor, wrote a review paper on The Discrete Log Problem and Elliptic Curve Cryptography, as part of the Summer Mathematics REU Apprentice Program.

I presented three one-hour lectures per class for three classes over the past 2 years. Before then, I served as a general logistics assistant.
