Lipika Lipika

I'm Lipika, completed my Master's degree in Science. I have been teaching both online and offline for more than 6 years, working with students from India, USA, Canada & Australia. I have authored high school books for NGSS standard curriculum. I was working as an Academic Head for an ed-tech unicorn previously. I teach all science subjects till grade 10 and Physics, chemistry & geology till grade 12. I have tutored 300+ students. I love interacting with students and exposing them to the world of different possibilities. Hence, I take up different curriculum and spread knowledge. I prefer teaching on a blank page because I feel there is a scope to take students to a world of possibilities from blank to a vast diversity of knowledge. I use a simple blank page and use different colors for the demarcation of different things. Usually, the structure of the class includes recalling the topics of the previous class, introducing a new topic, solving problems from the topic, and ending the class after completing the topic with a summary of the class. I try correlating everything to the realistic world, and it helps students to understand the topic better. The practical use of the topics is very important, and I try to provide a glimpse of the use of the topic of discussion in practical life as well. I also help my students with their assignments, homework, and test preparation. I always take regular feedback from my students and parents and also give my feedback on the students performance, so that the tutoring sessions are effective for the learner.
