Science class overview
My teaching methodology revolves around personalized tutoring that blends interactive lessons with a focus on data analysis, problem-solving, and a scientific approach. Specializing in Life Science, Forces and Motion, Physical Science, and Earth Science, I cater to elementary, middle, high school, and college students. By using tech tools like digital whiteboards, interactive 3D models, and game-based learning apps, I make learning engaging and effective. I follow curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and others to ensure comprehensive subject coverage. With a collaborative teaching style, I create a supportive learning environment for 10+ students, helping them excel academically.
School Science concepts taught by Khusbu
The Tutor and Student reviewed the historical development of genetics, starting from early breeding observations and theories of reproduction to Darwin's natural selection and Mendel's foundational laws of inheritance. They also covered key molecular concepts including DNA, genes, meiosis, and recombinant DNA technology, with plans to focus on question-based practice in future sessions.
Theories of Inheritance: Preformation vs. Epigenesis
Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection
Mendel's Laws of Inheritance
Meiosis and Genetic Variation
Gene Mapping and DNA Code
The Tutor and Student reviewed several infectious diseases including tetanus, botulism, leprosy, and polio. They discussed the causative agents, mechanisms of action, symptoms, treatment, and prevention strategies for each. The session concluded with a review of polio vaccines and eradication efforts.
Botulism Toxin Mechanism
Leprosy: Acid-Fast Bacilli and Host Immunity
Polio Virus Structure and Transmission
Vaccine Strategies: IPV vs. OPV for Polio
The tutor and student reviewed several infectious diseases, including meningitis, tetanus, influenza, and RSV. They discussed the causative agents, mechanisms of infection, prevention through vaccination, and diagnostic and treatment strategies. The tutor also provided a foundational overview of the nervous system's protective structures and the blood-brain barrier.
