While I was an undergraduate, I was awarded a research grant to work on a project between the Faculties of Education and Mathematics to explore different ways of presenting educational material online. For a few years, I worked as a proctor at mathematics exams. During the 05/06 year, I was the president of the Western Math Society (Western’s Social Mathematics Club). Later, I authored over 100 study sheets directed at high school students for About: Math. In April 2006, I graduated with distinction* with a Bachelor of Science degree in Pure Mathematics. The following year, I completed my Master’s of Arts degree in Economics. During that year, I worked as a teaching assistant for the “Mathematics for Economists” courses offered by the Department of Economics (the former Economics 141a and 310b). Twice I’ve been approached by Prep 101 and asked to consider working for them. I also run an online tutoring website where I help people with math over the internet. Lately, I’ve been focusing more on in-person tutoring though. In the summer of 2008, I was approached by MyJambi and asked if I would help build their math tutoring online community.

I’ve met with over 200 students** for tutoring since 2003. The majority of the students that I’ve tutored have come from Math 30, Math 31 and Calculus 50 classes. However, I’m familiar and experienced with the material in every first year course offered by the Department of Mathematics course at Western. In 2007, I began tutoring students in a group setting by offering weekly study groups and prep sessions near exam periods.

I’m able to tutor students in the following courses:

Calculus 1000: Calculus I
Calculus 1100: Calculus I with Fundamentals
Calculus 1201: Mathematics Applications for the Biological Sciences
Calculus 1301: Calculus II
Calculus 1501: Calculus II
Linear Algebra 1600: Linear Algebra I
Math 0110:  Introductory Calculus
Math 1120: Fundamental Concepts in Mathematics
Math 1225: Methods of Calculus
Math 1228: Methods of Finite Mathematics
Math 1229: Methods of Matrix Algebra

*Graduating with distinction requires that my average each year was over 80%
**It’s actually quite a bit more than 200 students, I’ve just stopped counting
