Hobbies

I have a passion for music, sketching, solving jigsaw puzzles and hiking. I love teaching and spending time with my students. Most students want to memorize chemistry. I like to teach how to learn chemistry through reasoning and understanding of fundamental concepts and build new concepts on old ones. Once students appreciate this learning method, they start finding Chemistry interesting and intriguing instead of intimidating. I absolutely love seeing students learn and their fear of Chemistry slowly disappear as they start appreciating the subject. I believe knowledge should be available for all and hence I am happy to offer a lower rate to students who want to get lessons with their friends in a small group setting.
