Vaishnavi Your chemistry tutor
I have 14+ years of experience teaching Chemistry across multiple boards including IGCSE, A-Levels, AS-Levels, IB, and HSC, along with preparing students for competitive exams like JEE and NEET. I completed my MSc in Chemistry by Research from ICT, Mumbai University, which helped shape my analytical and subject expertise. I have worked with students in both India and the UK through full-time tutoring roles, and I focus on breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable explanations. Teaching has allowed me to merge subject mastery with mentorship, and I enjoy designing engaging learning experiences that build confidence and conceptual depth. I am deeply committed to student-centric teaching methodologies and continuous academic innovation. I am passionate about making Chemistry engaging, student-friendly, and relevant to real-world learning.
Vaishnavi graduated from Institute of Chemical

Chemistry class overview
Chemistry is often perceived as a subject heavy in memory work, equations, and abstract theories. To counter this misconception, I always begin by establishing a strong conceptual foundation through intuitive analogies, guided questioning, and relatable examples. Rather than giving definitions first, I help students experience why a concept exists. Once reasoning is established, technical language and formal definitions follow naturally. This promotes durable learning and prevents rote recall. Students grasp faster when Chemistry is connected to daily life. I routinely relate topics to examples from medicine, food chemistry, materials science, sustainability, environmental issues, cosmetics formulation, and industry applications. This broadens perspective and demonstrates relevance. For advanced learners, I occasionally incorporate short research-based discussions linking textbook concepts to current scientific developments (battery chemistry, polymers, pharmaceuticals, spectroscopy, green chemistry etc.). This instills a research mindset early.

Chemistry concepts taught by Vaishnavi
The tutor and student practiced advanced organic synthesis problems, focusing on reactions that increase carbon chain length and transform functional groups. They worked through various multi-step syntheses, applying concepts such as nucleophilic substitution, elimination, oxidation, and reduction, and discussed strategies for problem-solving and efficient reaction sequences. The student was advised to revise learned reactions for future practice sessions.
Carbon Chain Extension
Alkene and Alkyne Synthesis
Functional Group Transformations
Wittig Reaction
Stereoselective Reductions
The Tutor guided the Student through drawing Lewis structures for various chemical compounds and ions, reinforcing the octet rule and valence electron calculations. They practiced molecule drawing and identified areas needing further review, with plans to cover naming covalent compounds next.
Valence Electrons and Atomic Structure
Drawing Lewis Structures
The Octet Rule
Lone Pairs vs. Bonding Pairs
The Student and Tutor reviewed concepts related to free radical mechanisms, including stereochemistry, allylic bromination using NBS, and auto-oxidation. They then transitioned to discussing efficient synthesis strategies, emphasizing minimizing reaction steps and exploring various functional group transformations, before practicing problem-solving for organic synthesis conversions.
Stereochemistry in Free Radical Reactions
Allylic Bromination with NBS
Autoxidation and Peroxide Formation
Free Radical Polymerization
Principles of Organic Synthesis and Functional Group Transformations
The Student and Tutor explored the concept of free radicals in organic chemistry, covering their formation, stability, and reaction mechanisms. They analyzed different types of radical reactions, including halogenation and additions, and discussed factors affecting selectivity and stereochemistry, with plans to continue in the next session.
Stereochemistry of Halogenation
Selectivity in Halogenation
Radical Initiators and Inhibitors
