Education
I am a Ph.D student in Computer Science. I also hold a Masters in Computer Science, magna cum laude.
Experience
I have a strong math and science background. I went to school in Romania and graduated from the top engineering school in the country - the Politehnica University of Bucharest. I currently am a Ph. D student in Computer Science. I am patient and fun. I try to make lessons applicable, so the information sticks. I have tutored young students, just learning to write phone numbers as well as college students studying for Statistics exams. I have been a Teaching Assistant for two courses at University of Maryland College Park : Biocomputational Methods (BIOE241) and Biomolecular and Cellular Rate Processes (BIOE601). Some of the requirements of these positions included holding office hours, assisting students with preparing presentations and grading homework. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I completed a three-year Teaching Certification Module. This certification allows me to teach in my home country of Romania. The hands-on pedagogical training gave me the opportunity of teaching 12th-grade Physics. for a semester. Theoretical training included classes on Curriculum Development, Instructive Teaching Methodologies, Fundamentals of Pedagogy, Student Evaluation Methodologies, and Classroom Management. Growing up I have acquired a love and respect of teaching from my parents, who taught their whole lives. The above-mentioned teaching opportunities solidified my decision of pursuing a teaching career. My skills include patience, thoroughness, positive nature, and adaptability. I usually prefer meeting at the UMD campus (e.g., in Hornbake Library). Depending on the circumstance, I can drive to your location.
