Having embraced digital media long ago and the recently set in 'new normal', I prefer using PowerPoint ppts to explain concepts. Also, it makes the concepts-clearing session hassle-free and easily accessible. Being a distant tutor I cannot go for board presentations, though I had love to teach the old-school way if given an opportunity. My slides would include some highlights and hyperlinks to educational videos that will help you better understand concepts in 3D dimensions (for stereochemistry, enantiomers, etc ) as and when required. I prefer an engaging classroom over a monotonous lecturership. Doubts can be asked at the end or through chat boxes and fundamental doubts to be addressed immediately may be posed during the class as well.
Being a biologist at heart my first love goes for ecology and species interaction at the habitat and/or niche scale. Apart from classical ecology, I have tutored for general science subjects inclusive of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Math at the high school level during home tuitions.
In today's world when everybody wants to be on the toe tips and be in the creamy layer one must remember that extraordinary results require extraordinary efforts from either side. You may have an excellent tutor and a laidback student or vice versa both of which could be detrimental. Hence, cumulative actions from both ends would culminate in meeting paths and reaching goals successfully.
Going the extra mile I believe in a beyond-class student-teacher relationship and would help counsel and mentor the needy upon request.
