Prior experiences?* - Prior teaching experence teaching ios - feels he has a lot of patience and enjoys teaching - Has pretty in depth knowledge with iOS and feels his strong technical skills can contribute to being a good TF - Has helped friends very often and has a lot of non official teaching experience - *What does it take to build a good community in the classroom?* - working in groups *What are your apprehensions or which areas you believe needs improvement & support.* - making good UI acomidating for levels o learning - adjusting course to make sure it accomodates for everyones learning pace and where they're at in their class *In what areas would you like CodePath to help you with?* - Talked about the community aspect and how there's an awesome community and lots of students doing lots of different things so would like more help and immersion into our community - Add certain structures that make teaching a lot more easier - Live coding sessions: - Likes the idea of having TFs run these - Youtube videos are nice and sometimes easy to run with but often may be outdated and so having a live session would be awesome bc TFs could break things down more and have more updated code - Feels like as a TF it would give him a greater responsibility in the class which will leave an impact and make class more engaging ### Live Demo Applicants should present their favorite tool that they used from the previous course that they've taken with. This should be presented through slides. * **Additional notes: * like how he talks about the files and what heppensd in them * really enjoy that he broke down VC life cycle * Super cool that he breaks down things on a high level of SWE outside of just iOS dev * Has very smooth transitions and clearly understands what he is presenting, his presentation seems very natural * like how he talks about locilization and incorpreates it into the app * **Verdict:** Pass ASK TF IF ANY QUESTIONS? - does this course run in fall ---
