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
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
Mole Ratio
Mole Calculations
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.
