OBJECTIVE:
Apply the analysis skills and presentation skills that I strengthened while
acquiring my Master's degree in mathematics to be an excellent and highly
reliable entry level worker - in time, taking on ever-increasing roles and
responsibilities.
EDUCATION:
. Master's Degree in Mathematics, May 2010, from San Francisco State
University.
. Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics, May 2004, from University of
California, Berkeley.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
. Graduate Teaching Associate: (San Francisco State University) (Aug.
'05 to Dec. '09) Teaching credited algebra and calculus courses to
classes of approximately 40 university students. Duties included
planning the course, writing a syllabus, planning and implementing
lectures, assigning and grading homework, and creating/grading quizzes
and exams. Course grades were computed, then assigned via an online
environment. Finally, some statistics - measurable student learning
outcomes - were compiled and entered into a database.
. Tutor-for-Hire: (San Francisco) (Jan. '02 to May '05) Math tutor for
high-school and college students in pre-calculus, statistics, linear
algebra, and calculus.
. Instructor: (Summer Bridge Program at U.C. Berkeley) (May '01 to July
'01) Taught a summer course in pre-calculus to an incoming university
freshman class.
. Study-Group Leader: (Student Learning Center at U.C. Berkeley) (Aug.
'00 to May '01) Taught calculus to groups of UC Berkeley undergrads.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
. Many, many of my student evaluations have student comments claiming
that I am the best or one of the top math teachers my students have
ever experienced. I have these evaluations; please ask to see them.
. The research I recently accomplished for my master's thesis in number
theory is being submitted for publishing in a math journal by my
master's thesis adviser, himself a number theorist with many published
articles.
