Tribhuvan Your chemistry tutor
Hello everyone! My name is Tribhuvan Prasad, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad) — one of India’s most prestigious institutes for science and research. My journey with chemistry began from pure curiosity, and over time, it transformed into a deep passion for understanding the molecular world. Today, as both a researcher and an educator, my mission is simple — to make chemistry intuitive, logical, and truly enjoyable for students around the world. I specialize in teaching AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry (SL & HL), A-Level, IGCSE, MCAT, CSIR-NET, IIT-JAM, and university-level chemistry courses. Having taught students from India, the US, Canada, the UK, Singapore, and the Middle East, I’ve developed an adaptive teaching approach that works for different boards, learning styles, and academic goals. Whether you’re preparing for an exam or trying to fall in love with the subject, I focus on helping you build clarity and confidence through deep understanding.

Chemistry class overview
My teaching philosophy revolves around three principles: Understand First, Memorize Later — Chemistry makes sense when you know why things happen, not just how. Learn Visually — I use examples from my own research, industrial processes, and daily life to explain complex topics. Build Confidence — I create a safe, interactive environment where mistakes are part of learning, and curiosity is encouraged. I want every student to think like a scientist — questioning, visualizing, and connecting ideas. Once that mindset develops, chemistry stops being difficult and starts being fascinating. Every equation in chemistry has a reason behind it, every reaction has a mechanism, and every concept connects to something we experience daily. I try to make my classes interactive and visual — using examples from industry, environmental science, and even my own research — so that students can see how theory and application fit together. I want them to think like scientists, not just students preparing for exams. Another principle I strongly believe in is confidence through clarity. Many students find chemistry intimidating, but once they understand its logic, the fear disappears. I make sure that each topic, no matter how complex — whether it’s molecular orbital theory, quantum chemistry, or kinetics — is explained in a way that feels natural and approachable. My classes are conversation-based, where students are free to ask “why” at every step. I also emphasize problem-solving strategies and pattern recognition, so they develop analytical skills that stay useful beyond any exam.

Chemistry concepts taught by Tribhuvan
The class reviewed fundamental organic chemistry concepts including nucleophiles, electrophiles, and resonance. The tutor then explained electronic effects like the mesomeric and inductive effects, followed by an introduction to the Birch reduction mechanism and the stereospecificity of the Diels-Alder reaction. The student was assigned homework to summarize named reactions.
Nucleophiles and Electrophiles
Resonance and Electron Delocalization
Inductive Effects (+I
-I) and Hyperconjugation (+H)
Diels-Alder Reaction
Reduction Reactions (e.g.
Li Reduction)
The tutor and student reviewed the Second Law of Thermodynamics, focusing on Gibbs Free Energy, entropy, and enthalpy. They practiced applying these concepts to predict reaction spontaneity and equilibrium, working through several example problems related to chemical reactions and phase transitions.
Entropy (ΔS)
Activation Energy (Ea)
Equilibrium Constant (K)
Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG)
The session reviewed the fundamental role of enzymes as biological catalysts and their mechanism of action. Specific enzymes like Cytochrome P450 and Soluble Methane Monooxygenase were discussed, along with their functions and catalytic cycles. The student was also introduced to the Z-scheme of photosynthesis, and encouraged to revise all learned topics and focus on new material for their upcoming exam.
Soluble Methane Monooxygenase (SMMO)
Enzymes as Biological Catalysts
Cytochrome P450 (CYP450)
Photosynthetic Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
The Tutor and Student reviewed the principles of redox reactions, including electron transfer, oxidation states, and the role of potentials in determining spontaneity. They explored Gibbs free energy and Marcus theory, which explains factors influencing electron transfer rates, and concluded by discussing oxygen transport proteins like hemoglobin and myoglobin, including the Bohr effect.

and Reorganization Energy
Gibbs Free Energy and Reaction Spontaneity
Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction
The Tutor and Student reviewed Crystal Field Theory, focusing on d-orbital splitting in octahedral complexes, Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) calculations, and the influence of ligand strength on electron spin states. They practiced calculating CFSE for various electron configurations and discussed factors affecting stability, including oxidation state, ligand properties, and atomic size, with an introduction to hard and soft acid-base theory and hydration enthalpies as measures of stability.
Crystal Field Theory (CFT) and Splitting
Factors Affecting CFSE and Complex Stability
Ligand Strength and High Spin vs. Low Spin Complexes
Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE)
The Tutor and Student reviewed the biological roles of siderophores, transferrins, and ferritins in iron metabolism, followed by a detailed explanation of ferritin structure and function. They then transitioned to discussing the Hard-Soft Acid-Base (HSAB) theory and periodic trends in atomic size and effective nuclear charge. Further study was planned for an evening session due to connection issues.
