Tanya Your chemistry tutor
Hello! I’m Tanya Vats, a Chemistry tutor with a Master’s degree in Chemistry and a genuine passion for teaching. I enjoy helping students understand chemistry in a way that feels simple, logical, and even fun. Many students find chemistry intimidating at first, but my goal is to break down complex ideas into easy steps so that anyone can understand them with confidence. My teaching style focuses on building strong fundamentals. I believe that once the basics are clear, even the toughest topics become manageable. During lessons, I explain concepts patiently, use diagrams and real-life examples, and guide students through problem-solving step by step. I also encourage students to ask questions freely because I believe that curiosity is one of the best ways to learn. I personalize my teaching based on each student’s needs and learning pace. Some students need more conceptual explanations, while others benefit from extra practice and exam-oriented strategies. I make sure that lessons are interactive, engaging, and focused on helping students truly understand the subject rather than just memorize formulas. I can help students with topics across different areas of chemistry including physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry. Whether you are preparing for school exams, building a stronger foundation in chemistry, or looking for help with difficult topics, I aim to support you with clear explanations and consistent practice. My goal is to help students feel more confident in chemistry and develop problem-solving skills that will help them succeed in their academic journey.

Chemistry concepts taught by Tanya
The student and tutor worked through the calculation and reporting requirements for a chemistry experiment, focusing on dilution, titration calculations, significant figures, and justifications for experimental procedures. They practiced stoichiometric calculations for neutralization reactions and discussed how to achieve excellence in the final report. Homework was assigned on unit conversion.
Neutralization Reactions and Stoichiometry
Significant Figures and Calculations
Ensuring Accuracy and Validity in Titration
Purpose of Dilution in Titration
Dilution Factor Calculation
The class involved a tutor providing detailed feedback on a student's report about green chemistry and biodiesel production from waste cooking oils. They discussed refining the report's claims, aligning its content with green chemistry principles, and correcting specific scientific inaccuracies related to E-factors, atom economy, and product safety. The tutor also shared relevant research papers and scheduled the next session for review.
Green Chemistry Principles
E-Factor
Waste Cooking Oils (WCOs) as Feedstock
Catalytic Reagents in Transesterification
Atom Economy and Its Calculation
The tutor and student extensively reviewed atomic structure, chemical properties of metals, rock types and the rock cycle, and corrosion. They practiced identifying elements, calculating atomic properties, and understanding chemical reactions, with a plan to follow up after the student's exam.
Distillation and Separation Techniques
Corrosion and Rusting
Rock Cycle and Types of Rocks
Compound Formation and Types
Properties and Reactivity of Metals
Atomic Structure and Composition
The Student and Tutor reviewed various organic chemistry concepts including Newman projections, reaction energy diagrams, aromaticity, dehydration, esterification, reduction/oxidation, stereochemistry, and SN1/SN2/E1/E2 reaction mechanisms. The Student practiced identifying these concepts and applying them to specific reaction scenarios. The Tutor provided explanations and clarified doubts to prepare the Student for an upcoming exam.
Newman Projections and Conformations
Stereoisomerism: Constitutional vs. Stereoisomers
Aromaticity: Huckel's Rule
Dehydration Reactions of Alcohols
Carbocation Stability and Reactivity
Reaction Energy Diagrams
The tutor and student reviewed concepts in analytical chemistry, including volumetric analysis (titration), indicators, and the calculation of uncertainties. They also explored the principles of dilution and its calculation using the dilution factor. Homework assignments were given on finding the least count and uncertainties of lab equipment and calculating the concentration of sulfuric acid in drain cleaners.
Titration: The Core Process
Dilution Factor
Least Count and Instrument Uncertainty
Indicators and Color Changes
Uncertainty in Measurements
The Tutor and Student reviewed the fundamental structure of atoms, their subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), and atomic models. They discussed elements, compounds, atomic notation, and the properties of alkali metals, including their reactivity and conductivity. The session also touched upon the formation of ionic compounds and the distinction between mixtures and compounds, with plans for continued study.
