I have previously worked as a Subject Matter Expert in Statistics at Chegg India, where I provided detailed solutions to questions posed by a diverse range of students. When I was pursuing my bachelor's degree in Statistics, I had the opportunity to deliver lectures to various groups of junior students. The lectures delivered included topics of “Financial Products – Bonds, Stocks and Mutual Funds” and “Use of Derivatives – Futures and Options”. While teaching these topics, I created real-life examples which the audience could relate to. This made it easy for them to understand the concepts. I also taught the “Monty Hall problem” in an engaging manner. It is a counterintuitive problem, one which is not understood quickly. Hence, I enacted the entire situation to make it interesting. I like to explain things in a way by which I can capture the interest of the audience. It is easier to explain a concept if the audience feels involved and relates to the explanation. My proficiency in mathematics and statistics can be seen from the high grades I obtained in my education. Complemented by my strong communication skills, I believe I am capable of inspiring and educating the next generation of learners.
