About your chemistry tutor

I am a passionate and experienced educator in the field of biology, with a special focus on Biology and Chemistry. Over the years, I’ve helped many students not only master the subject matter but also develop a deep curiosity for how life works and how we are surrounded with chemicals around. My teaching style is concept-driven, student-friendly, and interactive. I believe that understanding "why" something happens in biology and chemistry is just as important as knowing "what" happens. I often use diagrams, analogies, and real-life examples to make complex topics easy to understand and remember. Whether you're aiming for top grades, preparing for competitive exams, or just trying to get more comfortable with biology and chemistry , I’m here to support you every step of the way with structured lessons, clear explanations, and a positive learning environment. Let’s make science exciting and achievable together!

Chemistry class overview

a Biochemistry teacher, my primary goal is to make the subject logical, relatable, and deeply understandable for every student. I believe that biochemistry is not just a collection of reactions and pathways, but the chemistry of life itself—and I strive to teach it as such. My approach begins with building conceptual clarity by explaining the “why” behind each process before moving into the “how.” I use visual tools like pathway maps, flowcharts, and annotated diagrams to simplify complex topics such as glycolysis, enzyme kinetics, and DNA replication. I incorporate real-life analogies and clinical examples—like enzyme deficiencies or metabolic disorders—to connect textbook knowledge to practical applications. Problem-solving is taught step-by-step, with a focus on understanding rather than memorization, especially in numerically heavy areas like buffer systems and kinetics. I tailor my teaching to student levels, simplifying for beginners and enriching content for advanced learners with research-based insights. By integrating biology and chemistry, encouraging active questioning, and using exam-focused practice, I ensure students not only perform well academically but also develop a genuine appreciation for the subject. My aim is to nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence in every learner.

Zarah learned 2 days ago

Palak and Zarah's recent biology lesson focused on ecology concepts. They reviewed topics such as ecosystems, biomes, biodiversity, and limiting factors, using the pitcher plant as an example. Their discussion also covered how geographical location and climate impact ecosystems and species distribution, along with practical soil analysis techniques like determining pH, water holding capacity, texture, and porosity.

Danie learned 2 days ago

Palak and Hannah recently dedicated a lesson to the fascinating topic of speciation. Their comprehensive discussion covered key aspects such as natural selection, the iconic Darwin's finches, and the distinct types of speciation: allopatric, sympatric, and parapatric. They further explored reproductive isolation mechanisms and disruptive selection, drawing on diverse examples including finches, dogs, mules, and Galapagos palm trees to illustrate these concepts in evolutionary biology. Palak will be sending the presentation slides to Hannah, and their next class is slated for Monday.

Zarah learned 5 days ago

Palak and Zarah's recent biology lesson delved into various aspects of classification, covering binomial nomenclature, hierarchical classification, cladograms, and dichotomous keys. A significant part of their discussion involved analyzing cladograms to grasp evolutionary relationships, using examples from both the plant and animal kingdoms. They also briefly touched upon bioinformatics. Looking ahead, they intend to continue their lesson on Monday, first reviewing the current chapter before moving on to the next.

Janice learned 6 days ago

Palak guided Janice through a comprehensive biochemistry lesson on cellular respiration. Their discussion covered the intricate stages of glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, explaining how these processes ultimately yield ATP from glucose. Beyond the core topic, Palak also differentiated between catabolism and anabolism, and digestion versus metabolism. The lesson further explored broader concepts like glucose metabolism and drug metabolism, emphasizing the liver's crucial function in the latter.

Margaret learned 6 days ago

Palak Jain and Margaret Bassett collaborated on Margaret's Hendra virus case study, delving into its complex virology. Their work involved creating discussion questions that explored the virus's transmission dynamics, its potential for bioterrorism, and the significant influence of bat ecology on outbreaks. They also identified relevant references and discussed various treatment options, including the equine vaccine and experimental monoclonal antibodies. To ensure the case study is thoroughly prepared before its due date and Margaret's upcoming exam, they scheduled another lesson.
