Understanding is worth everything. I teach to help others pursue it.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

(Proverbs 4:7, NIV)

While I’ve served primarily as a teaching assistant and MSG leader, my goal in teaching has always been to bring clarity, confidence, and curiosity into the learning process. I’ve been fortunate to receive positive feedback from students and faculty alike, especially in helping others grasp foundational concepts in computer science.

Below are a few resources, review materials, and teaching contributions I’ve created or led during my time at Lafayette.

Teaching Assistant & MSG Leader

My work as a TA and MSG at Lafayette involves helping during class periods and running my own sessions where students can drop in to get help or review material. Below, I list courses I have served as a TA for and I link to any resources that I created during those semesters.

Fall 2025: CS 104 (Intro to Game Programming)

I’m super excited to continue working with our wonderful computer science department as a TA for our intro course. This time around, I’m working with Professor Lopez, who I have had the pleasure of learning from in Spring 2025 in his Intro to Machine Learning Class. I’m looking forward to more opportunities to grow my teaching skills.

Professor: Christian Lopez-Bencosome

Resources: Coming up after the conclusion of the semester.

Spring 2025: CS 104 (Intro to Game Programming)

This semester was especially exciting for me, because I got to serve alongside the first professor I had at Lafayette. Professor B is incredibly gifted at her job, and I am very grateful to have been able to help out!
