I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineer with a minor in mathematics, but I have found that my passions lie more in teaching than in Engineering work.
I graduated from High School in the top three percent of my class of 700 students and qualified to go to college with a substantial academic scholarship due to my SAT score of 1460. As a mechanical engineer I took Calculus 1, 2, 3, as well as partial differencial equations and advanced linear algebra. I also took honors physics and many classes about solid and fluid dynamics.
During my time at the University of Houston I taught University Physics as a PF (Peer Facilitator) for four semesters and found it one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. As a PF I would attend weekly meetings with a lead teacher and other PFs and we would discuss that week's physics material. Then, during the week, I and a partner would lead four one-hour recitations during which we helped the students struggling in class. We would do examples for them, as well as put them in groups and have them do different practice problems of increasing difficulty.
As for my personality, I am a hard worker who is enthusiastic about physics, math, and South Korean culture! My number one priority is my students, and I believe that anyone can succeed.
Having a degree in Mechanical Engineering means that I have lots of experience in math and physics. I am currently taking my Alternative Certification Program to get my license to teach in Texas.
