Teaching Experience
Chemistry has always been my pet subject, especially physical and organic chemistry. Teaching happens to be my other passion as well. My past tutoring experience has been a wonderful journey, marked by friendship and intense satisfaction when my students' grades improved significantly within a short span of a few months.During my tutoring sessions, I provoke my student to think and relate Chemistry equations with everyday life. I want my students to go beyond being examination smart. For each of my individual students, I provide him with a tailored program designed to complement the strengths and improve on the weaknesses. I also provide my students with my own high quality Chemistry notes and specially selected questions for each topic.
I am also happy to note that some of my previous students have gone on to become successful Chemistry tutors themselves. They look up to me as their "tutor mentor". We still keep in close contact with one another.
