Saturday Teaching Assistant (Part Time - BEAM Gateway) at Beam · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

During BEAM Saturday enrichment programming, you'll create a vibrant academic experience for kids who are discovering the wide range of opportunities and experiences available in advanced mathematics. In this role, you'll be a TA for classes on topics in Deep Thinking in Math, Mathematical Biology, or Programming, along with supporting students during advisory blocks. Courses taught at BEAM Saturday enrichment are designed by curriculum developers from across the country and focus on topics in mathematics that they’re passionate about and chosen by students based on what they are interested in. Be a mentor and guide for students as they progress in their educational journey!
In Spring 2027, we will be offering the following classes:
Deep Thinking in Mathematics: This major explores deeper problem solving and reasoning through the lens of abstract mathematics, providing skills that can transfer to any future STEM pathway. Key topics include number theory, linear algebra, and abstract algebra, with capstone projects ranging from mathematical research to exploring the mathematical underpinnings of AI.
Mathematical Biology (topics may include Epidemiology, Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, or Cognitive Science): This major focuses on mathematical modeling that will support student success in many future STEM careers. Students will learn how key ideas in biology can be explored and predicted through mathematics, such as disease spread, genetics, and more. Capstone projects may involve work such as analyzing real-world data and its fit with existing models, or taking a published model of disease spread and implementing a simulation to explore how it changes as input parameters change.
Solving Problems with Python: This course introduces students to computational thinking through mathematical problem solving. Students use Python to explore mathematical questions and develop computational approaches to problems such as testing for primality, counting primes within a given range, and solving accessible problems from Project Euler. Along the way, students build skills in understanding how programs work, testing and modifying code, and using computation to investigate and solve unfamiliar problems.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will:
Supervise students through enrichment courses in advanced mathematics
Assist faculty and staff with classroom and program operations
Run social and community activities for middle school students
Build a positive social environment for middle and high school students
Work with students on mathematics, both one-on-one and as a teaching assistant
