Lipika - About your AP tutor
I completed my Master's degree in Applied Geology. I have been teaching both online and offline for 5+ years, working with students from India and abroad. 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 more than 500 students. I love interacting with students and exposing them to the world of different possibilities. Hence, I take up different curriculum and spread knowledge.

Teaching methodology
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.

The Student and Tutor reviewed nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and the band of stability graph. The student practiced balancing nuclear equations for fission, fusion, alpha, and beta decay and identifying real-world applications. No specific homework was assigned, but the student is expected to review the concepts covered.
Isotopes and Atomic Structure
Types and Stages of Stars
Band of Stability and Radioactive Decay
Neutron-Proton Ratio
Alpha and Beta Decay
Nuclear Fission and Fusion
The Student and Tutor worked on factoring quadratic equations, completing the square to convert to vertex form, converting from vertex to standard form, and writing equations for parabolas from their graphs. The student practiced various problems and received guidance on understanding the underlying concepts and formulas. The session focused on reinforcing these skills in preparation for an upcoming test.
Completing the Square
Factoring Quadratic Equations
Finding the Equation of a Parabola from its Graph
Vertex Form of a Quadratic
Converting Vertex Form to Standard Form
The Student and Tutor reviewed transcription, translation, and the roles of mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes in protein synthesis. The Student practiced answering AP Biology multiple-choice questions related to genetics and molecular biology, focusing on interpreting graphs and applying concepts to practical scenarios. The Tutor sent additional practice questions for further study.
tRNA: Transfer RNA and Anticodons
Mutations and Their Effects
Application-Based Genetics Questions
rRNA: Ribosomal RNA and Ribosomes
mRNA: Messenger RNA and Codons
Central Dogma: DNA to RNA to Protein
The Student and Tutor reviewed equilibrium constant calculations and practiced setting up and solving ICE table problems. They worked through several example problems involving different equilibrium scenarios, including reactions with given initial concentrations and changes. The session concluded with plans to continue working on equilibrium problems next week.
Equilibrium Constant (Kc)
Molarity Calculation
Reverse Reactions and Kc
Using Equilibrium Concentrations
ICE Tables
The student and tutor discussed DNA replication and transcription, focusing on the enzymes involved and the different models of replication. The session covered the roles of leading and lagging strands, and Okazaki fragments in DNA replication. The tutor provided flowcharts and notes to help the student review the material, and suggested that the student review conservative, semi-conservative and dispersive models.
DNA Replication Models: Conservative
Semiconservative
and Dispersive
The Role of RNA Polymerase in Transcription
Transcription Initiation and Termination
Leading and Lagging Strands with Okazaki Fragments
The Function of Enzymes in DNA Replication
ATP Hydrolysis in DNA Unwinding
The session focused on reaction kinetics, equilibrium, entropy, and Le Chatelier's principle. The student practiced interpreting concentration graphs, predicting entropy changes, and analyzing factors affecting reaction rates and equilibrium shifts. They reviewed the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature in equilibrium systems and planned to continue practice problems in the next session.
Applying Gas Laws to Equilibrium
