teaching

I have always loved academics and am eager to learn new concepts. As a strong believer of the quote - if you want to master something, teach it - often attributed to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, I have sought out opportunities to teach and tutor whenever possible. Whether leading study groups, explaining concepts to classmates, or serving as a tutor through formal programs, I find helping others learn to be deeply rewarding.

I am currently serving my second term as VP Helpdesk for the McGill Computer Science Undergraduate Society (CSUS). My responsibilities include managing the CSUS Helpdesk by providing tutoring services for Computer Science (COMP) courses, conducting the tutor recruitment process, organizing mid-term exam review sessions - all with the goal of providing support to undergraduate students when they need it the most.

I have also had the opportunity to formally tutor courses that I have previously completed. I was a CSUS Helpdesk Tutor for a year, providing support across a range of undergraduate computer science courses. In addition, I worked as a Peer Mentor for COMP 250 and COMP 251 through the Faculty of Science Peer Mentoring Program. I received the David Harpp Undergraduate Award and the Richard Tomlinson Undergraduate Award in recognition of my tutoring activities.

I served two years as VP Academic of the Montreal chapter of Youreka Canada held at McGill University. In this role, I taught statistics and research methodologies to program participants, reviewed manuscripts and poster submissions, and helped prepare students for the national poster showcase competition.

Teaching and mentorship have been some of the most meaningful parts of my university experience, and I hope to continue supporting students throughout my academic and professional career.
