Mathematics Lead Specialist
Kip McGrath Education Centres
Total years of experience :8 years, 5 Months
• Develop personalized educational goals to assist secondary students in preparing for examinations such as the International General
Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), Advanced Levels, International Baccalaureate (IB) or Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)
• Plan and conduct comprehensive lessons to assist in content comprehension and retention, homework revision, exam preparation,
enhancing student’s mathematical skills, and overall improvement of critical thinking and mathematical reasoning
• Conduct periodic assessments to identify areas that need further clarification followed by a relevant progress report
• Run periodic CPD sessions in mathematics topics and teaching for staff body
• Assist centre manager in the monitoring of mathematics lesson planning
• Developed a mathematics initial assessment procedure for incoming secondary students (to be used by administrative team) and
resources catalog to be used by staff when needed
• Studied the generalization of eventually-periodic simple continued fractions in which all numerators are replaced with a fixed value, and evaluated limits of such expressions at infinity. Results about the convergence of such expressions were proven.
• Used graph theory to study how connectivity affected optimization of theoretical network reliability measures given specific constraints. An analysis of the reliability of graphs in the general class G(n, m) is presented in relation to the new studied definitions. Efforts for optimization were successful.
• Organized and participated in weekly presentations for collaborative projects.
• Attended weekly seminars led by faculty researchers.
• Presented research outcomes at numerous conferences across the United States, including Joint Mathematics Meetings.
• Operated computer software programs to track resource inventories, patron usage and comments, and program standards metrics.
• Assisted in planning, coordinating, publicizing, marketing, and executing MWR programs and special events.
• Planned and conducted Saturday arts & craft classes for kids.
• Developed working partnerships with both on- and off base organizations (park districts, forest preserve, clubs, special interest groups, etc.) to support and benefit MWR programs.
• Implemented excellent customer service, and accurate cash handling procedures.
• Assisted students individually or in small groups to help enhance their mathematical skills and comprehend their coursework, complete their homework, prepare for exams, and improve their overall mathematical reasoning.
• Planned and conducted workshops intended to prepare students for end-of-term examinations, focusing on identifying areas that needed clarification and improvement.
• Tutored students in lower division mathematics courses: Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra I and II, College Algebra, CalculusI, II and III, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Mathematics.
• Investigated functional properties of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor and its mutants, and associated signaling pathways under the supervision of Dr. Irina Kufareva. The goal was to derive a specific cell line stably expressing a missing protein needed for activation signaling pathways.
• Conducted experiments, and recorded and analyzed data which was later used to create a written report.
• Performed procedures including protein purification, mammalian cell culture, transfection and cloning, DNA purification, and western blot.
• Completed corresponding health and laboratory safety trainings.
• Presented research outcomes at Southwestern College, California.
• Investigated the role of curcumin in controlling glycogen synthesis and glycolysis in rabbit muscle under the supervision of Dr. Georgia R.Sadler. Curcumin was shown to temporarily inhibit the enolase enzyme activity, which is required for glycolysis.
• Conducted experiments, and recorded and analyzed data which was later used to create a written report.
• Performed procedures including gel electrophoresis, coupled-enzyme assay preparation, and enzyme activity analysis via spectrophotometer.
• Completed corresponding health and laboratory safety trainings.
• Presented research outcomes at various conferences in San Diego, California.
• Recruited students interested in pursuing a science degree to join the MESA program and advance their STEM educational journeys in 4-year university programs
• Advertised MESA program services such as internship opportunities, study center for workshops, and community building and support through academic counseling
• Participated and created publicity for on-campus MESA events for hands-on math, science and engineering competitions, and advertised and participated in off-campus leadership retreats
