About
"I am passionate about teaching chemistry and mentoring students to become independent, critical, and creative thinkers. With a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from IISER Pune and two years of industrial research experience, I bring both academic knowledge and practical research experience into the classroom. My goal is to make chemistry engaging, relevant, and accessible by connecting fundamental concepts with real-world applications in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, catalysis, and sustainable science. I believe that an encouraging and interactive learning environment motivates students to develop curiosity and confidence in scientific inquiry."
Teaching methodology
I adopt a student-centered teaching methodology that combines traditional instruction with active learning strategies. My approach includes:
Inquiry-based learning to encourage critical thinking and scientific reasoning.
Scaffolded teaching that builds concepts progressively from fundamentals to advanced topics.
Interactive lectures supported by real-life examples, research case studies, and recent scientific literature.
Hands-on laboratory training to develop technical skills, experimental design, and safe laboratory practices.
Regular formative assessments, assignments, and constructive feedback to monitor student progress and improve learning outcomes.
