Employment
2025
Senior Mathematics Tutor
University of Canterbury

STARS Mathematics (MATH199) and second year engineering (EMTH210) and undergraduate linear algebra (MATH210). I've taught varying levels of ability including the accelerated highschool students into first year mathematics, as well as mathematics foundations for students who didn't obtain their highschool's mathematics accreditations. A focus of mine when tutoring is to work with students to achieve their goals within the course and go above and beyond the syllabus in the content and application, I take the syllabus as the minimum that a student will get out of a course rather than the maximum.

2022 - 2023
Online Webinar Host
Simitri International

In this role I helped operate online seminars using multiple online video conferencing platforms, running seminars with hundreds of people in attendance. These seminars were for career development and human resource training where participants were usually enrolled by their employer to attend a session. This was a contract role where I performed remotely without supervision after training.
