About Thanuka
I am an expert in the realms of chemistry, mathematics, and physics, holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from New York University. With a passion for education and a deep-seated commitment to fostering academic growth, I have dedicated over a decade to teaching and inspiring students across various educational stages, from middle school to college level.
Embarking on an academic journey that culminated in one of the most prestigious achievements, a doctorate from NYU, I have always been driven by a fascination with the scientific world. This fascination has not only shaped a successful career in research but also kindled a desire to share this passion with the next generation of scientists and thinkers.
Throughout over ten years of teaching experience, I have honed a unique and effective teaching methodology. Central to this approach is a discussion-based learning model, where students are encouraged to engage in conversations that unravel the complexities of chemistry, maths, and physics. This method is augmented to challenge students’ understanding and promote critical thinking.
My expertise are not confined to a single discipline. With a profound grasp of chemistry, mathematics, and physics, I offer students a comprehensive and interconnected view of these subjects. This interdisciplinary approach not only aids students in grasping individual concepts, but also in understanding the intricate web of connections that binds these scientific fields together.
This dynamic approach to teaching is tailored to cater to a diverse range of students, from those taking their first steps in middle school science to those delving into complex theories at the college level. My adaptability and ability to personalize the learning experience have been instrumental in the academic success and growth of countless students.
As an educator, I am not just a conduit of knowledge but a catalyst for intellectual curiosity and understanding. The journey through the world of science under my guidance is not only about learning facts and formulas, but about developing a deep and lasting appreciation for the wonders and intricacies of the scientific universe.

Teaching Method and Techniques:
Discussion-Based Learning: At the core of your teaching method is a discussion-based approach. This involves actively engaging students in conversations about the subject matter, encouraging them to ask questions, express their understanding, and explore concepts in depth. This method is particularly effective in subjects like chemistry, maths, and physics, where conceptual understanding is key.
Socratic Questioning: Complementing the discussion, you employ Socratic questioning to challenge students' thinking, promote deeper understanding, and encourage critical thinking. This technique is valuable in helping students not just learn facts, but also develop reasoning and analytical skills.
Cross-Disciplinary Integration: Given your expertise in chemistry, maths, and physics, you are uniquely positioned to draw connections between these disciplines. This holistic approach helps students see the interrelatedness of scientific concepts, fostering a more comprehensive understanding.
Typical Lesson Plan:
Introduction of Concepts: Begin with a brief overview of the day's topic, connecting it to previously learned material and its relevance in real-world contexts.
Interactive Discussion: Engage students in a guided discussion, encouraging them to articulate their thoughts, hypotheses, and questions about the topic.
Socratic Questioning: Introduce thought-provoking questions to deepen understanding and encourage exploration of the topic from different angles.
Hands-On Activities/Problem-Solving: Incorporate practical exercises, experiments, or problem-solving sessions to apply concepts in a tangible way.
Recap and Reflection: Conclude with a summary of key learnings and encourage students to reflect on their understanding and the application of the concepts.
What Sets You Apart as a Tutor:
Extensive Academic and Practical Experience: Your PhD in Chemistry from NYU and over 10 years of teaching experience across different levels add immense value to your teaching.
Adaptability and Personalization: Your ability to adapt your teaching style to suit middle school, high school, and college students shows a high level of personalization in your approach.
Interdisciplinary Expertise: Your knowledge spanning chemistry, maths, and physics allows for a rich, interconnected learning experience.
Target Audience:
Level and Degree: Middle school to college level students.
Subjects: Specifically tailored for students in chemistry, maths, and physics.
Specificities: Ideal for students who benefit from discussion-based learning and those who are looking for a deeper, interconnected understanding of scientific concepts.
