Experience
Three years of coaching experience for middle school students participating in math competitions; Ten years of working experience as an actuary, specializing in machine learning and financial models; Fellows of Casualty Actuarial Society (obtained in 2010, passed all actuarial exams on my first tries); My teaching emphasizes the importance of math. In the age of artificial intelligence, new generations will face the challenges of frequent technology improvements and career path adjustments. During such transitions, a solid and organic understanding on math is one of the most valuable assets they can have. I spend time developing short and effective courses that can fill the gaps in the current standard math education. I pay special attention to the various career paths that start from math, and strive to provide high quality career advice to students interested in math related fields (science, engineering, business analytics etc).
