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 tutor and student reviewed the midpoint formula and its applications in coordinate geometry. They practiced calculating midpoints and finding unknown endpoints given a midpoint and one endpoint, and also explored finding points at fractional distances along a line segment. The student was assigned homework to complete remaining problems on the worksheet.
Distance Formula
Midpoint Formula
Rearranging Equations for Slope-Intercept Form
Finding an Endpoint Given Midpoint and One Endpoint
The Tutor and Student reviewed the calculation of percent composition from chemical formulas, using examples and practice problems to solidify understanding. The session concluded with the assignment of further practice problems to prepare for calculating empirical formulas from given percentages in the next class.
Applying Percentage Composition to Real-World Examples
Percentage Composition
Atomic Mass Unit (amu) and Grams per Mole (g/mol)
Calculating Molar Mass
The tutor and student reviewed the concept of gradients and the equations of straight lines, focusing on identifying and rearranging linear equations into the `y = mx + b` form. They practiced solving exercises related to finding gradients and y-intercepts, and identifying mismatched equations.
Gradient of a Straight Line
Y-intercept
Rearranging Linear Equations
Identifying the 'Odd One Out'
The student and tutor worked on SAT English practice, focusing on grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation through practice tests and targeted exercises. They reviewed common errors and strategies for identifying correct grammatical forms, with plans to continue practice before the student's test.
SAT Score Ranges and Conversions
Adjective Clauses and Their Function
Active vs. Passive Voice
Semicolon and Comma Usage in Complex Sentences
The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines, focusing on vertical lines and creating distinct parallel equations. They then practiced applying the distance formula between two points, with the Student working through examples and receiving guidance on calculation methods.
Perpendicular and Parallel Lines
Circle Formulas
Equation of a Line
Distance Formula
The tutor and student worked on practicing derivatives of polynomial functions, focusing on calculating the slope of tangent lines. They reviewed rules for handling exponents and fractions, with plans to continue practicing various types of derivative problems in future sessions.
The Power Rule for Differentiation
Handling Negative and Fractional Exponents
Derivatives of Square Roots
Understanding the Derivative as Slope of the Tangent Line
