Linda Gu

I'm a student at Cornell University majoring in Operations Research and Information Engineering with a minor in Business. I'm also a member of several clubs: Cornell Investments Club, Cornell University Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, and an undergraduate research lab. In high school, I worked with the Virginia School of Math and was part of the George Mason Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program.

I have taught as a math teacher at the Virginia School of Math for a school year, helping students of all ages better understand the concepts they were learning in school.

I worked as a lead Teacher's Assistant at Fairfax Collegiate's Chantilly and South Riding locations, helping as needed in several courses and subbing for a Writing for Middle School Class.

I am teaching math this summer, and I have completed Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra so far in college.

I love working with students because it allows me to challenge them in ways that spark growth and development. It's incredibly rewarding to see their progress, whether it’s understanding a difficult concept or gaining confidence in their abilities. Teaching is not just about transferring knowledge, but also about fostering a mindset of curiosity and resilience.

Outside of work and school I love to stay active and play basketball, spikeball and pickleball. I also enjoy watching the the NBA (Go Nuggets) and travel to various National Parks and hike.
