My aim is to help students not just score well, but also think & relate concepts to realworld science, and develop strong problemsolving skills.

Palak assisted Nana with an assignment on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), meticulously reviewing the abstract, body, and conclusion. Their discussion focused on the normal physiology, pathophysiological disruptions, and therapeutic drugs relevant to ALS, along with proper referencing and paper structure. Nana will review the updated paper, and a follow-up lesson is scheduled to address any remaining questions.

Palak and Nana recently collaborated on refining Nana's biology assignment about ALS. Their work focused on aligning the abstract and body with specific marking criteria, addressing issues like word count, missing elements in the abstract (such as normal physiological function and a synthesis statement), and enhancing the discussion on how ALS impacts homeostasis and potential treatments. Palak will finalize the assignment and send it to Nana, with a follow-up lesson scheduled to review the final version.

In their recent chemistry lesson, Palak and Tatiana tackled kinetics problems, covering radioactive decay and how to determine reaction orders from experimental data. They also reviewed the distinctive colors of halogen gases and various transition metal compounds. Tatiana was assigned to add two lessons, and they set their next lesson for next Tuesday to delve further into transition metal chemistry.

Palak and Tatiana delved into physical chemistry problems, focusing on osmotic pressure calculations, deviations from Raoult's Law, and colligative properties like freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. Tatiana honed her skills in applying these concepts to understand solution behavior and intermolecular forces. They have another lesson scheduled for tomorrow to continue with kinetics and mechanisms, and Palak proposed adding two more lessons to their plan before the end of September.

Palak discussed population ecology with a student from UNC Greensboro, covering topics such as telemetry, GPS tracking of animals, population density, carrying capacity, and factors affecting population growth. The student also reviewed different distribution patterns and survivorship curves. Their lesson touched on wildlife conservation, including culling and captive breeding programs, and they plan to continue with Chapter 6 in the next lesson.

A student from Port St Lucie and their tutor worked through multiple-choice questions on solution chemistry and chemical kinetics. They covered topics like intermolecular forces, colligative properties, and reaction rates. The lesson also included a review of concepts related to boiling point, hydrogen bonding, lattice energy, and enzyme kinetics. They plan to continue working through the test questions in their next lesson.
