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.
Lipika graduated from The University of Burdwan

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.

AP concepts taught by Lipika
The tutor and student reviewed a prelab assignment on diffusion and osmosis, covering experimental purpose, the Lugol's test for starch, and definitions of tonicity. They then moved on to chemistry, practicing the conversion of word equations to chemical formulas and balancing them, with the tutor assigning a worksheet for further practice.
Iodine Test for Starch
Balancing Chemical Equations
Tonicity and Cell Behavior
Diffusion and Osmosis
The student practiced balancing chemical equations with the tutor's guidance. They worked through various examples, learning a systematic approach including using a table to track atoms and understanding when to deviate from standard balancing order. The next class will focus on balancing word equations.
Strategic Balancing Order
Self-Balancing Equations
Balancing Chemical Equations
The student and tutor reviewed chemical nomenclature, focusing on naming ionic and covalent compounds and determining their chemical formulas based on valency and ionic charges. They practiced naming various compounds and writing their corresponding formulas, with a follow-up assignment involving more complex compounds with variable valencies.
Naming Covalent Compounds (Prefixes)
Chemical Formula Writing: Ionic Compounds
Molecule vs. Compound
The Tutor introduced the concept of phylogeny and phylogenetic trees, explaining the evolutionary history of life and human evolution. The student practiced identifying hierarchical classifications within the Kingdom Animalia, focusing on the genus Panthera and its species.
Linnaean Classification System
Evolution and Adaptation
Phylogeny and the Tree of Life
The tutor and student focused on foundational chemistry concepts, including naming chemical compounds from word equations and determining chemical formulas based on valency. They then delved into electronic configurations and the Aufbau principle, with the student practicing writing configurations for the first 30 elements. The next session will continue with naming conventions.
Naming Chemical Compounds
Orbital Theory and Electron Filling (Aufbau Principle)
Valency and Chemical Formula Formation
Electronic Configuration and Atomic Structure
The tutor and student reviewed concepts of atomic structure, specifically focusing on isotopes, atomic number, and mass number. They practiced identifying isotopes, calculating subatomic particles, and determining isotopic notation. The session concluded with an introduction to calculating average atomic mass using isotopic abundance and natural percentages, with plans for further practice.
