Biology class overview
My tutoring approach is a blend of supportive, fun, visual learning, collaborative, and conceptual teaching styles. As a college-level Biology tutor, I specialize in subjects like Human Anatomy, Genetics, Microbiology, and more. I leverage a variety of tech tools such as digital whiteboards, interactive 3D models, and video conferencing to deliver personalized tutoring. Following curricula like A-Levels (UK) and AP Program (USA), I ensure students grasp complex biological concepts through interactive lessons and practice worksheets. With over 20 college-level students, my methodology strengthens understanding and boosts academic performance effectively.

Review sessions
Biology concept taught by Robert
The Student reviewed gas laws, density calculations, and partial pressures with the Tutor. They worked through quantitative problems and discussed conceptual aspects, including intermolecular forces and real vs. ideal gases. The Student has a final exam soon and is preparing for the next chemistry course.
Ideal Gas Law & Constant Variables
Density and Temperature Relationship
Partial Pressure and Mixing Gases
Real vs Ideal Gases & Intermolecular Forces
Strong Electrolytes
Resonance Structures
Combustion Reactions and Stoichiometry
The student and tutor reviewed SN1 and SN2 reaction mechanisms, focusing on factors affecting reaction rates, including leaving groups, steric hindrance, and solvent effects. The student practiced identifying reaction components and drawing reaction mechanisms. They will continue practicing reactions and carbocations in the next session.
Electrophilic Carbon and Leaving Groups
Nucleophilic Attack
SN2 Reaction: Mechanism and Rate
SN1 Reaction: Mechanism and Rate
Solvent Effects on SN1 and SN2 Reactions
Leaving Group Ability and pKa
The Student reviewed stoichiometry problems, including finding limiting reactants, excess reactants, theoretical yield, and percent yield. The Student practiced these concepts with example problems and reviewed a video. The tutor assigned no homework but suggested the student contact them to schedule another session.
Limiting Reactant
Reaction Types: Single and Double Displacement
Stoichiometry Fundamentals
Percent Yield
Theoretical Yield
Excess Reactant
Actual Yield
The Student and Tutor reviewed directing effects of substituents on aromatic rings, working through problems to identify major products of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. They discussed activators and deactivators, resonance and inductive effects, and synthesis strategies, including the use of blocking groups. The next session will focus on more complex synthesis problems with blocking groups.
Alkynes Oxymercuration-Demercuration
Blocking Groups: Sulfonation
Synthesis Strategies and Order of Addition
Halogens: An Exception
Directing Effects: Ortho
Para
and Meta
Activating and Deactivating Groups
The Student and Tutor reviewed stoichiometry problems, including balancing equations, determining limiting and excess reactants, and calculating mass of precipitate. The session included a combustion reaction problem and percent yield calculation. They planned to continue working on the remaining problems in the next session.
Stoichiometry Setup and Unit Conversions
Mole-to-Mole Ratio
Limiting Reactant and Excess Reactant
Percent Yield Calculation
Balancing Chemical Equations for Stoichiometry
The Student and Tutor reviewed aromatic reactions, including the directing effects of substituents, blocking groups, and carbocation rearrangements in Friedel-Crafts alkylation. The Student worked on homework problems involving resonance structures, aromaticity, and reaction mechanisms. The next session will continue with aromatic chemistry and related homework problems.
Blocking Groups in Aromatic Synthesis
Aromatic Substitutions: Activating and Deactivating Groups
Ortho
Para
and Meta Directing Effects
Halogens: An Exception to Deactivation
Friedel-Crafts Alkylation and Carbocation Rearrangements
