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.

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.
AP concept taught by Lipika
The session focused on acid-base titration curves, where the Student practiced interpreting different types of curves and calculating concentrations and pH values at various points in the titration. Problem-solving involved both calculation and curve sketching. The Student was assigned to note any specific topics of confusion to be addressed in the next session before their upcoming exam.
Titration Basics
Equivalence Point vs. End Point
Titration Curves
Buffer Region and Half Equivalence Point
Calculations with Titration Data
Ratio of Acid to Base at Different Regions of a Titration Curve
The student and tutor reviewed acid-base indicators, their color changes, and the concept of pH. The student also worked through equilibrium problems using RICE tables and calculating equilibrium constants. The student was assigned homework involving similar equilibrium problems and was introduced to the concept of Eid, to be covered in the next session.
ICE Tables and Equilibrium Concentrations
Relating Moles
Volume
and Concentration
Calculating Keq from Equilibrium Concentrations
Determining Equilibrium Shift (Q vs. K)
Using Indicators in Titration
Acid-Base Indicators
The Student and Tutor worked through several chemistry problems, focusing on identifying polar and non-polar molecules, understanding reaction mechanisms, calculating pH and Ka, interpreting infrared spectra, and predicting products in electrolysis. The Student will practice further and meet again on Thursday to continue review.
Distinguishing Polar and Non-Polar Amino Acids
Dehydration Reactions and Propene Formation
Oxidation of Secondary Alcohols to Ketones
Qualitative Observations in Chemical Reactions
Calculating pH from Dissociation of Bases
Interpreting Infrared (IR) Spectra
Polarity of Molecules
The Tutor and Student practiced alkane nomenclature, including identifying the longest carbon chain, naming substituents, and applying IUPAC rules. The Student worked through workbook problems, naming compounds and identifying errors in given names. The next session is scheduled for Wednesday and will likely cover additional review sheets for the upcoming unit test, as well as the difference in alkenes and alkynes.
IUPAC Nomenclature: Longest Chain Rule
Numbering the Parent Chain
Naming Substituents and Alkyl Groups
Alphabetical Order and Multiple Substituents
Condensed and Line-Angle Formulas
IUPAC Nomenclature: Identifying Errors
Alkenes and Alkynes: Introduction to Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
The session covered concepts in polymer chemistry, including polymer structures (isotactic, syndiotactic, atactic), equilibrium, and redox reactions, with a focus on identifying reducing agents and understanding electrochemical cells. The student worked through practice problems related to these topics. The next session is scheduled for Sunday.
Isotactic Polymers
Spectator Ions
Identifying Reducing Agents in Redox Reactions
Relating K and Reaction Direction
Atactic Polymers
Syndiotactic Polymers
Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids
The session focused on polymers, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, and buffer solutions. The student practiced calculating pH using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and worked through several example problems involving acid dissociation constants and buffer solutions. The student was assigned to complete the final practice problem and review the concepts for the next session.
Tetrafluoroethylene and Teflon Polymerization
