Teaching Statement

My teaching experience spans my academic training in Chile and France, the period as a postdoctoral researcher and later as Assist. Prof. in Germany, and more recently as lecturer at CY Cergy Paris Universite with focus on teaching. Having taught in different countries, different programs and languages, has helped develop my teaching style, where I aim to balance theory with a exercises and real-life applications, as I teach a broad range of subjects covering calculus, analysis, linear algebra, probability theory, among others. I encourage student participation by creating a safe environment for them to ask questions, discuss, and reflect on what we learn together. I emphasize the fact that, as a teacher, I am a facilitator in their learning process and I encourage them to leave the passive learning role undergraduate students have traditionally had, and to see their mathematics training as a valuable tool in their lives, independent of the fact if they pursue a career in mathematics or not. I strive to challenge my students, while being attentive of their individual learning processes, and help them overcome their difficulties with continuous and clear feedback. As a teacher, my goal is to help students internalize mathematical thinking in a way that it extends well beyond the limits of the classroom.
