I specialize in Polymer Chemistry as my PhD is in Polymer Science but general first year Chemistry is what I usually tutor students in.
I have a premium zoom account so lessons can be as long as you require and a tablet which makes interacting on the Zoom whiteboard feature effortless. I also have notes and practice tests and quizzes which helps students greatly. I am also available via email for quick questions where I can answer with a worked out example.
I approach tricky chemistry concepts by breaking it down into smaller parts and connect what the student already knows to the smaller parts of the tricky concept and build up the understanding from there. My biggest tip is practice and as a tutor we will go through many examples together and you'll have the opportunity to get some extra practice questions.
As a practical demonstrator, I do have experience with laboratory experience and incorporate into lessons with everyday life examples or with practical videos.
Teaching Organic chemistry requires patience and a lot of visuals. I make the subjecting engaging by lots of visuals and making summaries together so that they don't just copy paste but actually connect things and put information in a way that makes sense to them and helps them understand. Once we've made summaries, the student has access to it as it's theirs.
Practice tests/quizzes and going through how to approach questions and understanding what the question is asking.
