About me

Art in all forms have always interested me since childhood and it has kept me curious and creative. I first took to painting and love painting on fabric. My hobby later extended to carving, and now I extensively carve on chalk and soap, creating intricate sculptures that push the limits of the material. This reflects my attitude to try and be a better version of myself, every day. Apart from chemistry, my passion is music, especially Carnatic music, as it renders me ecstatic through its unique use of the octave, the lyrics and their rhyme. With an acute sense of smell and taste, I also love cooking. My culinary endeavors lets me continue experimenting, producing results others can enjoy as much I do.

I can Teach:

Basics of Matter, Chemical Kinetics , Chemical Substances, Electrochemistry , Matter , Nuclear Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Periodic Table, States of Matter, Thermodynamics , Chemistry, Environmental Science, Science Basics

Teaching Experience

I have always loved sharing knowledge with everyone. I started teaching informally, when I was in middle school, and helped my cousins with their lessons. I explain concepts clearly, through everyday examples and my teaching philosophy is based on this. This has brought me success in helping a varied bunch of students – from underprivileged school children in an orphanage, whose only source of learning was their teachers’ lessons (no computer or Internet-assisted teaching there), to my juniors and classmates at the University. I find that I am able to assess their knowledge and their most preferred method of learning quickly, which helps facilitate their learning effectively. I also have a year’s worth of teaching experience handling advanced organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry courses, in addition to training graduates and interns in research techniques.

My Expertise

Top subjects

Being a chemistry student, I have always been in touch with fundamental mathematics to deal with physical chemistry. I also took two courses in advanced mathematics during the first year of my Bachelor’s. I provide pro bono tutoring to few kids, informally, such as my neighbors, and thus keep all the concepts fresh in my mind.

I specialized in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics during high school with an emphasis on the former. Dealing with students from various levels of education and my career in an interdisciplinary field ensures that I stay in touch with all the basic sciences.

My fascination for chemistry since high school has resulted in continued pursuit of the subject to the extent of pursuing doctoral level research in it. I studied general chemistry and worked on synthetic organic chemistry for my masters’ thesis, earning good grades consistently. I worked in Chegg Inc. as a MNE in Chemistry for the past three years and handle advanced chemistry courses. This helps me put a practical spin to my teaching and overall, I teach chemistry the most. I have also conducted academic seminars during my masters’, participated in conferences, and presented my research works in them. These varied experiences have led me to appreciate the differences between presenting to an elite group and teaching students; teaching online and face-to-face as well as group and one-on-one tutoring, thus allowing me to express my ideas to suit a wide range of audiences.

I worked on synthetic organic chemistry during my masters' and submitted the thesis on transformations of Baylis-Hilman adducts. For my Ph.D., I work on drug design, with an emphasis on organic chemistry and asymmetric synthesis.

In my masters’ I specialized in drug design, development and synthesis which involved basic biochemistry. My doctoral research is also focused on drug development for which fundamental knowledge about biomolecules and basic biochemistry is necessary. So, I am constantly learning the subject in greater depth. I would love to share my knowledge of this wonderful subject.
