Reshma Your chemistry tutor
I am an experienced math, science, and business teacher with over 15 years of experience working with students of all ages and levels. I also teach IELTS and ESL. I work with students' individual needs to help them excel and create a supportive and inclusive learning environment. I teach topics such as math equations, factoring, number sense, chemical bonding, atomic structure, and physical chemistry. I also teach topics in general science such as biological compounds, states of matter, and basic physics. I am adept at tailoring my teaching methods to cater to individual student needs, ensuring a thorough understanding of the subject matter. Whether it's homework help, test prep strategies, or review sessions, I offer comprehensive support to enhance learning outcomes. I look forward to embarking on this learning journey!

Chemistry class overview
My teaching methodology is grounded in a student-centered, inclusive, and adaptive approach that prioritizes meaningful engagement, critical thinking, and real-world application. I believe that teaching is not simply the delivery of information, but the facilitation of learning — where students are active participants in their own intellectual, emotional, and social development. At the core of my methodology is the belief that every student learns differently, and it is my responsibility as an educator to create a learning environment that recognizes and nurtures that diversity. I draw upon a blend of pedagogical strategies — including constructivist, inquiry-based, experiential, and collaborative learning models — to build lessons that are not only educational but also relevant and empowering. Student-Centered Learning Rather than positioning myself as the sole source of knowledge, I strive to create a learning space where students feel ownership over their learning journey. This means encouraging curiosity, giving students choices, and allowing space for exploration. I use techniques like flipped classrooms, project-based learning, and open discussions to shift the focus from passive absorption to active discovery. When students are given the opportunity to explore topics that interest them, within a structured framework, they become more engaged and intrinsically motivated. I support this by offering multiple means of content delivery — visual, auditory, kinesthetic — and varied methods of assessment, ensuring all learning styles are accommodated.

Chemistry concepts taught by Reshma
The session focused on electrolytic cells, including drawing, labeling, and understanding their components. The student practiced identifying oxidation and reduction processes in different scenarios. There was a discussion about the format of an upcoming chemistry quiz and strategies for preparing for it.
Electrolytic Cells
Drawing and Labeling Electrolytic Cells
Spontaneity in Electrolytic Cells
Inert Electrodes
Oxidation and Reduction Identification
The Student and Tutor reviewed double displacement reactions, including formation of gases and precipitates. The Student practiced predicting products and balancing equations, using examples and worksheets. Homework was assigned to redo a previous test related to the covered material, and the next session may cover balancing and solubility rules.
Double Replacement Reactions
Predicting Products in Double Replacement Reactions
Balancing Chemical Equations
Formation of Gases
Solubility Rules and Precipitates
The Student and Tutor reviewed chemistry concepts for an upcoming exam, focusing on intermolecular forces, types of solids, solubility, and colligative properties. They worked through practice problems on molality, molarity, mole fraction, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure. The Student was advised to review videos and study guides to reinforce these topics.
Intermolecular Forces (IMFs) and Polarity
Solid Types and Melting Points
Henry's Law: Solubility and Pressure
Colligative Properties: Molality
Mole Fraction
Boiling Point Elevation
Boiling Point Elevation Calculations
Osmotic Pressure
The Student practiced calculating empirical and molecular formulas from various data sets. They worked through worksheet problems involving mass percentages and molecular weights, focusing on correctly applying the formulas and steps involved in the calculations. The plan is to review any remaining problems from the molecular formula worksheet in the next session and then move on to the next topic.
Calculations are Time Consuming
Molecular Formula Determination
Atomic Mass and Molar Mass
Empirical Formula Calculation
The Tutor and Student reviewed percent composition and practiced finding the empirical formula of chemical compounds. The student worked through several practice problems, converting grams and percentages to moles to determine the correct empirical formulas. Homework was assigned to complete additional practice problems on empirical formula determination.
Whole Number Ratios in Empirical Formulas
Converting Grams to Moles
Molar Mass Calculation
Percent Composition Review
Determining Empirical Formulas
The Tutor and Student worked through an electrochemistry problem involving calculating the net cell potential (Enet) for a zinc and copper sulfate reaction. The Student reviewed steps for writing half-reactions and using standard reduction potentials. The Tutor assigned practice problems and constructing voltaic cells will be worked on during the next session.
Electrochemical Cells and Redox Reactions
Half-Reactions
Standard Reduction Potentials (E°)
Calculating Cell Potential (Ecell)
Voltaic Cell Diagrams
