Teaching Students Maths:

As one of only two students in my school teaching mathematics to middle school classes, I've taken on the rewarding challenge of helping younger students build their confidence in math. I create comprehensive lesson plans tailored to their curriculum, focusing on making complex concepts accessible and engaging. My approach includes organizing interactive games that reinforce key ideas while fostering a fun learning environment. Over the course of teaching more than four classes, I’ve seen firsthand how my guidance not only helps students grasp challenging material but also encourages them to embrace their abilities, turning math into a subject they feel empowered to tackle.

 

Pragati Foundation Maths Videos:
I partnered with the Pregati Foundation in India to create educational YouTube videos aimed at teaching underprivileged children essential math concepts, including fractions. I conceptualized and produced these videos on my iPad, incorporating colorful visuals and interactive elements to engage the kids. By adding a Hindi voiceover, I ensured the content was relatable and accessible. This initiative empowers young learners with critical math skills while fostering a love for education, inspiring them to envision a brighter future.

 

Wellness Buddies:

I was selected and trained to be a Wellness Buddy, a role that allowed me to guide a middle schooler in integrating into our community. The training process was extensive, covering essential topics like effective communication, empathy, and mental health awareness. I learned how to support students emotionally and socially, which is something I’m deeply passionate about. 

 

As part of my responsibilities, I gave presentations to both parents and students about the transition to high school. These sessions aimed to address common concerns and provide helpful strategies for adjusting to this new phase. Sharing insights on mental health and the importance of a supportive community was a key focus of my presentations. This experience not only strengthened my commitment to mental well-being but also allowed me to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
