Vaishnavi - About your AP tutor
I am a dedicated and experienced Chemistry educator with a strong academic background and a Master’s degree in Chemistry by research. Over the years, I have taught students from diverse curricula including AP Chemistry, helping them build strong conceptual foundations as well as exam confidence. My teaching approach focuses on simplifying complex chemical concepts through clear explanations, real-life examples, and step-by-step problem-solving strategies. I believe that every student learns differently, so my sessions are highly personalized. I assess each student’s strengths, learning gaps, and exam requirements before designing targeted lessons. I place special emphasis on numerical problem-solving, reaction mechanisms, periodic trends, energetics, and practical/lab-based understanding, which are often challenging areas for students. In addition to content mastery, I train students in exam techniques, mark-scheme interpretation, and time management, ensuring they know how to present answers effectively to maximize scores. My goal is not only to help students achieve excellent grades but also to develop confidence, curiosity, and long-term understanding of Chemistry. I strive to create a supportive, interactive, and motivating learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing academically.

Teaching methodology
My teaching methodology is student-centered, concept-driven, and exam-oriented. I begin by understanding each student’s academic background, learning style, syllabus requirements, and specific goals. Based on this, I design structured lesson plans that focus on building strong conceptual clarity before moving to application-based and exam-level questions. I explain complex Chemistry concepts using simple language, visual representations, flowcharts, and real-life examples to make learning intuitive and engaging. Each topic is taught step by step, ensuring students understand the “why” behind reactions, mechanisms, and calculations rather than relying on memorization. I place strong emphasis on numerical problem-solving, data-based questions, and analytical thinking, which are essential for success in IGCSE, IB, and AP examinations. Regular practice, guided problem-solving, and active questioning are integral parts of my sessions. I provide targeted worksheets, past-paper style questions, and detailed feedback to help students identify and correct mistakes. I also train students in exam strategies such as time management, command-term interpretation, and structured answer writing aligned with mark schemes. My sessions are interactive and supportive, encouraging students to ask questions freely and build confidence. I continuously assess progress and adapt my teaching pace and methods to ensure steady improvement and long-term understanding of Chemistry.

AP concepts taught by Vaishnavi
The Student and Tutor reviewed intermolecular forces including London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding and ion-dipole interactions. They then began an introduction to acids and bases, covering basic definitions, neutralization reactions, and types of acids. The Student will share their syllabus for future lesson planning and practice materials.
Ion-Dipole Interactions
Intermolecular Forces and Physical Properties
Hydrogen Bonding
Halogens and Dispersion Forces
Intermolecular Forces (IMFs)
Temporary vs. Permanent Dipoles
London Dispersion Forces
The session involved the Student working through a practice sheet focused on identifying chiral centers and stereochemistry. The Student and Tutor discussed the student's progress on the sheet and clarified rules for identifying chiral centers. The Student was assigned to finish the practice sheet and send it in for review, and the next session will cover Newman projections and cyclic compounds.
Identifying Hydrogen Atoms in Skeletal Structures
Recognizing CH₃ Groups
Chiral Centers (Stereocenters)
Newman Projections: Introduction
Cyclic Structures
The Student practiced assigning R and S configurations to molecules with one and two chiral centers. The Student made errors in determining priorities and functional groups, which impacted the configuration assignments. The session concluded with an introduction to enantiomers and diastereomers and a plan to review IUPAC nomenclature in the next class. A practice sheet with challenging examples will be provided.
R/S Configuration Determination
Priority Assignment Rules
Line Formulas and IUPAC Nomenclature Review
Enantiomers and Mirror Images
Handling Ties in Priority Assignment
The session focused on reviewing previously learned concepts in stereochemistry, particularly assigning R/S configurations and converting between 3D structures and Newman projections. The Student practiced these skills through example problems, receiving feedback and corrections from the Tutor. The plan is to have an extended practice session to reinforce these concepts, along with notes being provided by the Tutor.
Kiral Centers (Stereogenic Centers)
Newman Projections
Assigning R/S Configurations
Priority Rules for R/S Configuration
Functional Group Representation
The session covered Fisher projections and R/S nomenclature, with a focus on molecules containing multiple chiral centers. The student practiced converting structures to Fisher projections and assigning R/S configurations. The Tutor assigned a worksheet for further practice and plans to cover meso compounds, enantiomers, diastereomers, and stereochemistry in cyclic compounds.
Fisher Projections
R/S Nomenclature in Fisher Projections
R/S with Multiple Chiral Centers in Fisher Projections
Achiral Molecules
The Student and Tutor covered how to draw Fisher projections from 3D representations of chiral molecules, including molecules with single and multiple chiral centers. The Student practiced converting different molecules and received feedback on their accuracy. Further practice and learning about rotating Fisher projections when hydrogen is on the normal line was scheduled for the next class.
