"Max was the best TA I have had out of all the philosophy courses I have taken at Stanford. He created a very welcoming environment/learning space for students to freely ask questions, offer objections, or seek help. He was patient in restating or re-explaining confusing concepts, often adding examples and encouraging students to form their own examples as well."

"Max was very patient in explaining complex mathematical concepts and the learning process felt very collaborative."

"He was always open and accessible in office hours and would sometimes stay for 30+ minutes after his office hours officially ended helping students. It was clear that he cared about the students and wanted to help them learn the material. Max is not intimidating to talk to. He makes everyone feel heard, valuable, and at ease."

"I always felt comfortable in his class to talk or share ideas, it was a more chill section as everyone wanted to participate because of him. Organization- we always managed to get everything he wanted us to learn within the time and with a lot of detail, I always felt like the sections were just right."

"Their teaching style was great, they were very good at letting the students lead office hours, helping us develop our ideas, but still steering us in the right direction instead of letting us just go in fruitless circles. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the course, and could not have made it through the class without their great teaching."
