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.
Vaishnavi graduated from Institute of Chemical

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 Tutor and Student reviewed nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, focusing on predicting products based on substrate, nucleophile/base strength, and solvent. They practiced solving problems involving secondary and tertiary substrates and scheduled future sessions to cover addition reactions.
SN1 vs. SN2 vs. E1 vs. E2 Reactions
Nucleophile Strength and Basicity
Elimination Reaction Regiochemistry and Stereochemistry
Solvent Effects in Organic Reactions
The Student and Tutor reviewed 2D NMR spectroscopy (COSY and HETCOR) and the interpretation of NMR signals for substituted benzenes. They then transitioned to organic synthesis, covering various reactions of alkyl halides, including nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), the influence of substrate structure, nucleophile strength, and solvent effects. The next session will focus on practicing SN1/SN2 differentiation for secondary carbons and subsequently exploring elimination reactions.
2D NMR Spectroscopy (COSY & HSQC)
Alkyl Halide Reactions: Substitution vs. Elimination
Nucleophile Strength and Leaving Group Ability
Stereochemistry in SN2 Reactions
The student and tutor worked through homework problems focused on endothermic and exothermic processes, reactions, and physical changes. They clarified the definitions of these terms, applied them to various chemical and physical scenarios, and discussed how to analyze energy changes based on particle interactions and phase transitions. A plan was made to address gaps in the student's understanding of previous units through targeted practice.
Endothermic vs. Exothermic Processes
Particle Theory and Energy Changes
Energy Profile Diagrams
Kinetic Energy vs. Heat
The Tutor and Student worked through several challenging problems involving the determination of organic molecular structures using IR, H-NMR, and C13 NMR spectroscopy. They analyzed spectral data, identified functional groups, and pieced together structural fragments, with a particular focus on understanding the influence of substituents and electronegativity on chemical shifts. The Tutor plans to send additional practice materials and review basic organic chemistry concepts for future sessions.
Interpreting IR Spectroscopy for Functional Groups
Influence of Electronegativity and Inductive Effects on NMR Shifts
Fragment Analysis and Structure Elucidation
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Chemical Shifts
Degrees of Unsaturation (Hydrogen Deficiency Index)
The student and tutor worked on calculating molar enthalpy for dissolution reactions. They practiced using the formula Q=mcΔT to find heat and then dividing by moles to find molar enthalpy, addressing calculation errors and conceptual misunderstandings related to moles and heat.
Calculating Moles (n)
Enthalpy of Vaporization vs. Evaporation
Calculating Heat (Q) with Q = mcΔT
Enthalpy vs. Heat
The student and tutor worked through problems involving thermochemistry, specifically calculating enthalpy of reaction and molar enthalpy of precipitation using formulas like Q=mcΔT and Moles = Concentration x Volume. They practiced identifying limiting reagents and understanding thermal equilibrium, with the tutor providing corrected definitions and problem-solving strategies.
