  Comberton Sixth Form

  Jun 2013 - Jul 2013

  Mathematician in Residence

  I aided in A-level mathematics lessons at a British Sixth Form. I sometimes advised individual students on particular math problems and other times I ran entire lessons under the supervision of teaching professionals. I had the opportunity to give a presentation on mathematics studied at higher levels, specifically Quantum Mechanics. My position was meant to encourage students to pursue further study of math and physics.
