      Study Zone Leaders help students set goals for each study session, provide semi-structured guidance during these sessions, and facilitate students’ reflection on their progress. Responsibilities also include completing Study Zone Leader training sessions and maintaining accurate and confidential records. Led two Calculus workshops weekly. The workshops were designed for students currently taking a calculus course, the purpose was to help students understand the concepts and do practice questions. TA for elementary Chinese and intermediate Chinese. My job included grading quizzed and chapter tests, as well as providing office hours weekly for students seeking for extra help.
