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 Science, Astronomy, Health Science, 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
Sharmila tutored Mia on stoichiometry, with a focus on identifying limiting reactants and calculating theoretical yield. Mia practiced solving stoichiometry problems, including calculating the amount of product formed and the amount of excess reactant remaining. Sharmila assigned additional practice problems for Mia to complete.
Stoichiometry
Limiting Reactant
Excess Reactant
Theoretical Yield
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.
Periodicity
Metals
Nonmetals
and Metalloids
Sharmila em tutored Aidan Zhang on various chemistry topics, including endothermic/exothermic reactions, reaction kinetics, equilibrium constants, photon energy calculations, and electronic configurations. Aidan practiced problems related to these topics, and Sharmila provided explanations and guidance. Aidan was assigned to practice drawing enthalpy diagrams, labeling energy diagrams, checking a PDF for rate data, and calculating KC.
Endothermic vs. Exothermic Reactions
Noble Gas Configuration
Electronic Configuration Rules
Photon Energy Calculation
Aidan and Sharmila reviewed atomic trends, periodic law, electronic configurations, ionization energy, electronegativity, and chemical formulas in preparation for Aidan's chemistry final. They also practiced related calculations involving energy, wavelength, and percent composition.
Effective Nuclear Charge
Energy-Wavelength Relationship
Electronegativity
Ionic Radius
Reaction Rates
Catalysts
Effect of Temperature
Effect of Pressure
Sharmila tutored Layla in preparation for her chemistry final, reviewing topics such as balancing equations, reaction types, atomic structure, percentage composition, gas laws, and kinetic molecular theory. Layla received targeted help with percentage composition and the relationship between charge and electron count, and they practiced a density calculation problem.
Pressure Conversions
Significant Figures in Calculations
Physical vs. Chemical Change

em is a good tutor who helped me with Ch em istry recently. She’s explains things simply and makes sure you understand the concepts, not just the answers. I’d highly recommend her, definitely a 5-star tutor!
