Top Tutors who teach Alcohols
I am doing work as a home tutor for the last 6 years. currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics. I am confident about my skills, and if you will show confidence in me I am sure I leave up to your expectations. if you looking for a good mentor then go and check my profile and book the demo session now. Thank you so much.
She is very dedicated educator. Always understand child needs and preferences. My child is satisfied. She is available for anytime help.
Expert Chemistry Mentor for IIT-JEE | NEET | CBSE – 18+ Years of Experience Hi, I’m Anuranjita. I am a Senior Chemistry Expert with over 18 years of experience at India's leading institutes like Aakash, FIITJEE, and TIME and hold an M.Tech. degree from Anna University, Chennai—one of the top 10 engineering universities in India. I have refined a highly structured, result-oriented teaching methodology designed to crack • IIT-JEE (Main & Advanced) • NEET • Score 100% in CBSE Board exams. (Class 11 & 12 – Chemistry) Over the years, I have trained thousands of students, many of whom have successfully secured admissions into AIIMS, IITs, NITs, and other top medical and engineering colleges across India. Here is what makes my classes uniquely effective: • Interactive and concept-driven teaching • Focus on building strong fundamentals • Personalized learning based on each student’s pace • Regular doubt-clearing sessions & Chapter-wise tests • Exam-oriented tips and problem-solving strategies • The "Exclusive 5" Batch Model (Personalized Attention) Unlike massive online batches with thousands of students where individual voices get lost, my classes are strictly limited to a maximum of 5 students. This ensures that every single student receives 1-on-1 level attention, and I can monitor each student's real-time progress, strengths, and weaknesses. • Rigorous Testing & PYQ Practice: Chapter-wise tests modeled strictly on the latest NTA patterns, alongside exhaustive solving of past years' questions (PYQs). Looking forward to helping you master chemistry! Best Regards Anuranjita
The class was good. The explanation of the concept is clear. All the queries are being addressed to the student accordingly.
I am (English Educator). I've been teaching for more than 8 years. My background includes planning and teaching English to children as well as adults. I have worked with UNACADEMY, Chandigarh University, Mahendras and many more institutions. I got certified as a Meet & Greet officer, conforming to National Skill Qualifications Framework Level-4. Two times winner in Declamation contest at the college level
I have excellent teaching experience of 7 years with best results with my previous student's from CBSE , STATE and ICSE BOARD'S . Preferably i focus on students personal interest, level of understanding and study methodology. I am here to give best of me to seek best out from my students. I have given seminar on 'Students changing Virtue towards study , Need if time??' . Passionate to guide students towards there destiny
I am a History and law graduate, specializing in coaching students appearing for their board exams. From clearing concepts to teaching how to efficiently write answers, I do it all. For Class 12, I focus on: * Clear understanding of concepts, thinkers & case studies * Answer writing practice as per board requirements * Important questions, PYQs & expected topics * Smart revision techniques to improve scores My classes are one-on-one and tailored to your pace so that you feel confident before exams.
I had a great experience with Kanika Ma’am. She taught me political science for my boards. She is a very knowledgeable and kind teacher. Must recommend.
