Chirani Your chemistry tutor
I am Chirani Thammita Lennon who is an experience chemistry tutor for nearly a decade. I an experienced in guiding high school and college students with any needs through the guidance to make chemistry an enjoyable subject. I specialize in subjects like biochemistry, organic chemistry, atomic structure, and more in depth knowledge on the lab skills. Grasping complex concepts in chemistry is nothing to do with your knowledge but the way you approach it. Make chemistry a story, game or a fantasy novel. You just need to know the easy tricks all chemists use to gain their success. That’s where I come to play. I excel in covering all bases that is needed for you to excel in homework, lab assignments, group work and assignments that get You points and bonus points. Grades will be nice but understanding the concepts of chemistry is more important. Make sure you are comfortable with this “hard” subject!

Chemistry class overview
My tutoring style structured, patient, interactive, and engaging, focusing on hands on learning experiences. I specialize in teaching chemistry in all sub groups such as states of , acid, bases and pH. It doesn’t matter if you want help in general chemistry or organic chemistry, i will help you succeed by making you understand the concept with the technique you prefer. Everyone studies and retain information different, spring feel afraid to reach out to tell me what you are compatible and comfortable with. My teaching techniques all include presentations, diagrams, note taking, color coding and many more. The most important method of teaching is communication. I like when You can contact me when you have any questions about any material we covered or any material you don’t understand but needs ur get help with. Therefore, let’s navigate chemistry together!

Chemistry concepts taught by Chirani
The student and tutor reviewed a practice exam covering various chemistry topics, including periodic trends, bonding, stoichiometry, empirical/molecular formulas, and electron configurations. The tutor guided the student through problem-solving steps and explained underlying concepts. A follow-up session for final revision was scheduled for the week before the student's exam.
Periodic Trends: Atomic Radius
Formal Charge Calculation
Empirical and Molecular Formulas
Lattice Energy
The tutor and student reviewed organic chemistry reaction mechanisms and practiced predicting reaction products. They worked through several example problems, identifying nucleophiles, reagents, and final products, and discussed the conditions necessary for various transformations.
Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
Grignard Reagents
Formation of Alcohols
Cyanohydrin Formation
The class focused on mastering the balancing of chemical equations, a prerequisite for stoichiometry. The student practiced various balancing techniques and problem-solving strategies, while the tutor identified and addressed specific areas of difficulty. Homework was assigned to reinforce these concepts.
Balancing Chemical Equations
Stoichiometry Fundamentals
Coefficients vs. Subscripts
The Student and Tutor practiced organic chemistry nomenclature, focusing on naming alkanes, alkenes, and compounds with various functional groups. They worked through multiple examples to reinforce IUPAC naming rules, including identifying parent chains, numbering substituents, and alphabetizing prefixes. The next session will cover bonding and VSEPR theory.
Hydrocarbon Nomenclature: Alkanes
Alkenes
and Alkynes
Functional Groups and Suffixes
Substituent Naming and Numbering
Prioritizing Functional Groups and Double/Triple Bonds
The tutor and student reviewed the nomenclature of aldehydes and ketones, followed by discussing various methods for their synthesis and common reactions. They also compared the reactivity of different carbonyl-containing functional groups, preparing the student for an upcoming exam.
Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Ketones
Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones: Preparations
Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
Reactivity of Acyl Compounds
The Tutor and Student reviewed the introduction to aldehydes and ketones, focusing on their structural differences, nomenclature, and characteristic smells. They also practiced naming various organic compounds containing these functional groups, with a plan to continue with more practice problems in the next session.
