I had the honor to be an instructor for
the Putnam Problem Solving Course. I
had the great responsibility and the honor to be a Summer Instructor for
Calculus I, Summer �2002.
I
started teaching in 1996, at a small high school in Bucharest. Since 1997 I
have been a Teaching Assistant at the Johns Hopkins University. During these 6
years I have accumulated significant teaching experience, by interacting with
systems and students having different mathematical backgrounds and abilities.
These interactions all strengthened my belief that the most important factor in
successful teaching is the existence of mutual respect in the teacher �student
relationship.
I try to develop logical and analytical skills that my students can use in their future: ability to identify and extract relevant information, to construct simplified models for complex situations, to understand and sustain a logical argument.
I believe in collaborative and
interactive learning. Successful classes are ones in which students are
actively involved and are provoked to think.
I support the use of technology in teaching mathematics. I think it is beneficial to use calculators for complicated or lengthy computations, for graphing phase diagrams or plotting surfaces; for these purposes, I encourage the use of computers.
