My Teaching Style

For best comprehension, learning is achieved through the following:

Learning Using Specially Created Content.I have conducted nearly 26,000 hours of live classes and have over 25 years of teaching experience. With this I have a deep understanding of requirements of students. I focus upon clearing the basics of the subject first before moving on. Detailed explanations provide 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. A exhaustive question bank has been developed through rigorous research. A vast collection of Pre-AP and High School-style questions in multiple-choice and free-response formats are available to sharpen skills of the students and also gauge any gaps in knowledge.

Detailed Notes. Detailed notes are provided to the students which cover every topic and subtopic of Pre-AP and High School Chemistry, These are a comprehensive resource for in-depth understanding which can be gone over any time by the students. Also all class sessions are recorded and made available to students ensuring that they never miss a valuable lesson.


About Pre-AP and High School Chemistry Exam

The Pre-AP Chemistry is aimed at developing a deep conceptual understanding of matter and energy at the molecular level among the students. While the students may not appear in the Pre AP Exam, a study of basic concepts of Chemistry ensures that they develop a solid foundation for getting a very good grade at the AP Chemistry Exam and also perform very well at the High School Chemistry class exams.

In our experience, students of AP Chemistry who do not have a background in Chemistry tend to find the subject difficult to understand in the initial stages as they are confronted with the higher level concepts. Learning Chemistry at high school in the form of Pre-AP Chemistry provides them with this edge which ensures very good grades at AP Chemistry Exam as also much more confidence and higher grades in the Chemistry class Exams.
