Ashwini Sigdel

Where do you attend school and what activities are you involved in?

I will be attending UVA as a first-year this year studying mechanical or aerospace engineering.

I was very active in the Nepali community and hosted several events for our community center which convinced other community members to join and donate to the community center.

I was a part of Math, Science, and National Honor Societies. I ran the environmental club at my school.

What have your teaching opportunities been outside of Fairfax Collegiate?

I tutored mainly in honor societies, especially math and physics. I also have been teaching geometry to my cousin.

What sort of experience have you had in the subject you’ll be teaching this summer?

I have taken math up to BC Calc, and I've taught algebra, geometry, and precalc. I've taken regular bio, AP Bio, Advanced Chem for IB Schools, physics, AP Environmental Science, and astronomy.

What excites you about teaching and working with students?

The curiosity of young students is fun to see.
