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 worked on identifying and categorizing different types of nouns, including proper, concrete, abstract, compound, and collective nouns. They also briefly touched upon transitive and intransitive verbs, with the student practicing these concepts through exercises. The session concluded with a discussion of a potential lesson plan for future classes focused on grammar and writing techniques.
Grammar Practice Strategies
Transitive vs. Intransitive Verbs
Types of Nouns
The tutor and student reviewed various mathematics topics including geometry (circumference), ratios and proportions, percentages, and basic statistics (mean, median, mode, range). They practiced converting fractions to percentages, calculating simple interest and tax, and solving problems using the order of operations (BEDMAS). The session concluded with starting a practice test, with a plan to continue tomorrow.
Percentages
Decimals
and Fractions
Ratios and Proportions
Order of Operations (BEDMAS/PEMDAS)
Mean
Median
Mode
The Tutor and Student worked through various chemistry homework problems, focusing on calculating mass percent and mole fraction for solutions. They also touched upon volume percent and molality. The Tutor guided the Student through the problem-solving steps, and they planned for the Student to complete remaining problems before the next session.
Molarity vs. Molality
Mass Percent
Volume Percent
Mole Fraction
The class reviewed and practiced balancing oxidation-reduction reactions, focusing on assigning oxidation numbers and balancing equations, particularly in acidic solutions. The student worked through specific textbook problems with tutor guidance, and they discussed upcoming topics including electrolytic cells and test preparation.
Oxidation States and Balancing Redox Reactions
Electron Configurations and Orbital Filling
Chemical Bonding: Ionic vs. Covalent
The Tutor and Student reviewed various chemistry topics including molarity, dilution, solubility, and colligative properties. They worked through practice problems involving boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, with the student demonstrating progress in applying relevant formulas and concepts. The session concluded with recommendations for further practice on colligative properties and general test preparation.
Boiling Point Elevation (ΔTᵇ = iKᵇm)
Colligative Properties Overview
Freezing Point Depression (ΔT<0xE2><0x82><0x9F> = iK<0xE2><0x82><0x9F>m)
Dilution Formula (C1V1=C2V2)
The student and tutor reviewed challenging chemistry concepts from the student's honors curriculum, including vapor pressure calculations using the Clapeyron equation and ideal gas law, and crystal lattice identification. The tutor offered to provide practice problems and homework support to build the student's confidence before upcoming tests.
Vapor Pressure and Partial Pressure
Crystal Lattices and Unit Cells
Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)
