    Started as an Instructional Aide for students who needed help with math, chemistry, or computer science. This was on a student-by-student basis. Within one semester, I was promoted to the position of Supplemental Instructor. As an SI, I was assigned to a class which I attended and helped groups students during the lecture. I also held multiple discussions per week where students could ask questions and review material. Finally, at my request, I became an online tutor for the math department. I made powerpoints and held online meetings that students could attend if they had any questions or concerns.
