Provided walk-in tutoring services to students in College Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, and graduate-level Real Analysis. • University of Delaware, Newark, DE: Math Insurance Program Co-Coordinator (program to enhance experience of minorities in engineering), Instructor (taught variety of undergraduate courses, utilizing various technologies such as Derive and Maple on SPARC Workstations). • Bethlehem Area School District, Bethlehem, PA: o Secondary Mathematics Teacher, 1993–1994 at Freedom High School. o Student Teacher, Spring 1989 at Nitschmann Middle and Freedom High School. o MathCounts Coach, Fall 1988 at East Hills Middle School. Successfully prepared eight top seventh grade students for regional level MathCounts competition. • Moravian College, Bethlehem, PA: Adjunct Faculty, Summer 1991. Taught Calculus I for non- mathematics majors and remedial Algebra using, almost eXclusively, a concept induction approach. • Other Employment: o Resident Geometer, Summer 1989. Worked with the Visual Geometry Project under a joint NSF grant to Moravian and Swarthmore. Project goal is to reintroduce solid geometry into the high school curriculum. I conducted research on the technical and historical aspects of the Platonic Solids and then created many hands-on activities for the Platonic Solids Workbook. The VGP materials, including the final version of the Platonic Solids Workbook, have been published by the Key Curriculum Press.
