My Teaching Style
For best comprehension, I like to divide my session into two parts:Learning Using Specially Created Content. I use my own training content which has been specially prepared keeping the needs of students in mind. I focus upon clearing the basics of the subject first before moving on. Detailed explanations provided in a easy to understand manner forms the key to understanding.
Solving problems based on topics covered. At the end of each session I go over the quizzes on the topic with the student which ensures correct assimilation by the student and any gaps in knowledge are clarified. I also provide Chemistry Quizzes for AP Chemistry Exam which students can attempt in their own time and discuss with me during the sessions.
