Science class overview

My teaching approach as a tutor is centered on creating an engaging and effective learning environment for college-level students. I emphasize visual models, real-world contexts, and hands-on learning to make complex subjects like Physical Chemistry, Organic and Inorganic chemistry, and others more accessible. By incorporating the scientific method and data analysis into my personalized tutoring, I help students grasp concepts thoroughly. I leverage a variety of tech tools such as digital whiteboards, interactive quizzes, and game-based learning platforms to make online learning interactive and dynamic. Following curricula like A-Levels (UK) and Advanced Placement (AP) Program (USA) ensures alignment with academic standards. My methodology strengths lie in fostering a deep understanding of subjects through interactive lessons and tailored support, ultimately empowering students to excel in their college courses.

School Science concept taught by sharmila

Mia learned 29 days ago

Mia and Sharmila are reviewing VSEPR theory in a chemistry tutoring session. They discuss how electron domain geometry (determined by the number of electron domains) influences molecular geometry (determined by the arrangement of atoms), with lone pairs causing greater repulsion and affecting bond angles. They cover various geometries (linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral) and how lone pairs alter them, resulting in shapes like bent, trigonal pyramidal, seesaw, T-shaped, square pyramidal, and square planar. Sharmila emphasizes memorizing a VSEPR chart and guides Mia through an example problem (PCl3), highlighting the relationship between electron domain, electron domain geometry, molecular geometry, and bond angle.

Sharmila tutored Mia on periodic trends, including atomic and ionic radii, electronegativity, and the classification of elements. Mia practiced determining electronic configurations and understanding property trends in the periodic table. They scheduled weekly Monday sessions at 6 PM (Sharmila's time) to work on stoichiometry, and Sharmila requested a syllabus for better lesson planning.
