1 Agrégation is a highly selective French exam of teaching ability that covers all core undergraduate physics classes and some chemistry. It is taken after a year-long preparation that involves theory as well as giving practice lectures critiqued by experienced educators.

1/4 Curriculum Vitae Yaouen Fily Teaching Experience Postdoctoral Researcher 2009-present At Syracuse University: GRE preparation, 4h, undergraduate level. At Brandeis University: Biological Physics, 2h, graduate level. Moniteur 2006-2009 Université de Tours, France. Taught 192h of introductory physics (mathematical tools, classical mechanics, geometrical optics) to first year college students, including lectures, recitations and labs. Trainee November 2004 - January 2005 Lycée Marie Curie, Sceaux, France. Taught physics and chemistry to high school students. Mentoring I played a significant role in mentoring the following students, in collaboration with my then-advisor. Yuncheng Jiang (undergraduate student) Summer 2015 Active particles confined by a deformable boundary. Leonard Grazian (undergraduate student) 2014-2015 Role of dipolar interactions in spontaneous phase separation of active particles.
