Teaching Assistant Spotlight: Dylan Yang
Yale University | AP Physics (Summer Program)
Meet Dylan Yang, a student-athlete at Yale University, where he studies Environmental Studies with a focus on green engineering and renewable energy. Dylan joined the Global Teaching Project during our 2025 Summer Program, where he supported students in AP Physics.
Originally from Suffern, New York, Dylan brings a strong background in youth mentorship—having coached football and basketball, and volunteered extensively in his community. He’s also a Defensive End on the Yale football team and part of a back-to-back Ivy League championship squad.
Dylan made a meaningful impact during the summer, supporting students academically while serving as a relatable role model.
When he’s not in the classroom or on the field, Dylan enjoys watching sports, reading, sneaker shopping, and working out.
We’re grateful for the energy and mentorship Dylan brought to our Summer Program and excited to stay connected as he continues his journey.
