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.
