Teaching experience

In addition to my regular teaching, I I was also involved with the Stanford Math Circle in 2009. I also supervised a summer undergraduate research student in Summer 2007.

Introductory ODE with Linear Algebra
Stanford University
I taught this class several times at Stanford. When I did, I was responsible for setting the exact syllabus, including the details of the assessment method. The last time I taught this class, I had the students prepare end of term projects. This was a great success, especially since this allowed the students to explore topics that combined ODE with some of their particular interests. (When I did this, a number of students found very interesting applications to economic and financial models, teaching me a lot in the process!)
Calculus II
Stanford
I taught this class in Fall quarter, 2009. The class was primarily focused on methods of integration, with a small section on sequences and series. Most of the students were in their first term at Stanford, and were placed into my class by a good AP score. My most famous student was football star Toby Gerhart, however. He even earned me a mention (alas, not by name) in the New York Times (fifth paragraph from the end).
I co-taught this class with Eric Bahuaud, summer of 2009. This class is offered by the Engineering office of student and diversity affairs to help those students who want to participate, prepare for their first year of studies at Stanford.
Calcul différentiel et intégral
Université de Montréal
A second calculus class, focused on integration techniques, with a small section on sequences and series. Class taught in French.
Variétés différentiables
Université de Montréal
Introduction to smooth manifolds. Masters level class. We mostly followed Spivak's differential geometry classic, though I also spent a little bit of time on de Rham cohomology and had the students complete some projects related to Morse theory.
Discrete Mathematics
NYU
I taught this undergraduate class at NYU for two semesters. The students were mostly 3rd and 4th year computer science students, though I did have a couple of math majors also take my class. This was an introduction to combinatorics with a focus on counting problems and graph theory. For many of the students, it was also a first exposure to non-trivial proofs.

As a PhD student, I also TA'ed for a number of classes, notably business calculus, quantitative reasoning and the graduate level ODE class.
