Your english tutor - Reshma
Over the past decade, I have devoted my career to helping students discover the power of language. My ten years of teaching English have been shaped by continuous learning, adaptability, and a deep commitment to student growth. Throughout this journey, I have taught a diverse range of learners—children, teenagers, and adults—from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Each group has taught me new ways to make English accessible, meaningful, and empowering. My foundation in English education began with a strong interest in how language connects thought, culture, and communication. This passion led me to pursue an Advanced Diploma in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which expanded both my theoretical understanding and practical teaching strategies. Through this program, I explored advanced concepts in phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis, while also learning to design lessons that integrate all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—in a cohesive and learner-centered manner. One of my key areas of focus has been speaking and pronunciation. Over the years, I have worked with students to develop confidence and clarity in oral communication. I place a strong emphasis on pronunciation drills, intonation, and rhythm, while creating opportunities for authentic conversation through debates, interviews, and role-plays. I have found that speaking is not just about linguistic accuracy but also about emotional expression and self-assurance. My classroom environment encourages risk-taking, laughter, and creativity, allowing even the most hesitant learners to find their voice in English. Equally central to my teaching has been the development of reading comprehension. .

Teaching, to me, is more than the transfer of knowledge—it is the art of inspiring curiosity, confidence, and lifelong learning. My philosophy as an English educator is grounded in the belief that every learner has the potential to grow when given the right balance of support, challenge, and encouragement. Over my ten years of teaching, I have learned that effective education is not about how much a teacher knows, but about how well that teacher can connect, communicate, and cultivate understanding in others. At the heart of my teaching philosophy is the idea that learning is student-centered. Each student enters the classroom with unique strengths, needs, and perspectives. I strive to create lessons that meet learners where they are and guide them toward where they want to be. This involves designing flexible and differentiated instruction that accommodates various learning styles—visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and interpersonal. I believe that when students feel seen and supported, they are more motivated to take risks, ask questions, and engage actively in their own learning process. As a teacher of English, I view language not simply as a subject but as a means of connection and empowerment. Language opens doors to education, employment, and cultural understanding. My goal is to help students use English as a tool for expression, exploration, and inclusion. Whether I am teaching speaking, reading comprehension, or writing, I emphasize communication over memorization. I encourage my students to view mistakes as part of the learning journey, not as failures. A classroom where learners feel safe to experiment, laugh, and grow without fear of judgment is one where true learning happens. I believe deeply in interactive and communicative teaching.

English concepts taught by Reshma
The Student practiced naming organic molecules from structural formulas, focusing on alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, and identifying/correcting errors in IUPAC nomenclature. They worked through textbook problems involving naming complex molecules with multiple substituents. The tutor assigned further practice problems to reinforce the concepts covered in the session.
Structural Formula vs. Condensed Formula
Correcting IUPAC Naming Errors
IUPAC Nomenclature: Identifying the Longest Carbon Chain
Substituent Prioritization and Numbering
The Student and Tutor reviewed trigonometry concepts and practiced solving problems involving right triangles, including finding missing sides and angles using trigonometric functions and the Pythagorean theorem. The Student worked on a homework assignment and got help on problems they found difficult. The Student is to review material from the beginning of the year for the next session.
SOH CAH TOA
Solving for Sides Using Trigonometric Ratios
Pythagorean Theorem
Simplifying Fractions
Calculator Usage for Trigonometry
The Student practiced alkene nomenclature and was introduced to alkynes, covering their properties and nomenclature rules. They worked through naming practice problems and made corrections with guidance from the Tutor. The session ended with an introduction to cyclic compounds and their unique structural characteristics. Homework was assigned to practice drawing structures and naming cyclic compounds, to be reviewed in the next session.
Alkynes: Nomenclature and Properties
IUPAC Naming Conventions for Alkynes
Cyclic Hydrocarbons: Cycloalkanes and Cycloalkenes
Drawing Structures from IUPAC Names
The Student and Tutor practiced naming alkenes according to IUPAC nomenclature rules, focusing on identifying and correcting errors in alkene names. The student worked through problems involving branched alkenes and structural formulas, using a digital whiteboard to share their work. The student was assigned additional practice problems to reinforce the concepts covered.
IUPAC Nomenclature for Alkenes
Alphabetical Ordering of Substituents
Numbering Priority: Double Bond vs. Substituents
Interpreting Commas and Dashes in IUPAC Names
Structural Formulas and Hydrogen Atoms
The session reviewed the Pythagorean theorem and began introducing trigonometric ratios. The student practiced applying the Pythagorean theorem to find missing sides of right triangles and identifying opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse sides. The student was assigned homework problems involving trigonometric ratios.
Pythagorean Theorem
Estimating Square Roots
Trigonometric Ratios (SOH CAH TOA)
Identifying Opposite and Adjacent Sides
The student reviewed the nomenclature and properties of alkanes and alkenes, focusing on identifying the longest carbon chain, naming side groups, and understanding the impact of double bonds on molecular properties. The Tutor assigned practice problems on alkane and alkene nomenclature and scheduled a follow-up session to discuss alkynes and cumulative review.
