CHEMISTRY

About the Subject

Chemistry, the fascinating study of matter, impacts every aspect of our daily lives from health and nutrition to climate change. A vibrant, growing science, chemistry is vital to the success of research endeavors from the fight against cancer and AIDS to the development of superconductors. Important research areas like drug design, material science, nanotechnology and most importantly, ‘green chemistry’ are beneficial to both humanity and the environment. A vast array of industries - petrochemicals, bulk and fine chemicals, polymers, dyes & paints, pharmaceuticals, food additives & nutraceuticals are chemistry related and offer a wide range of rewarding careers.

Have been teaching in the Junior College since 2004.  I like to teach Chemistry by relating the subject to everyday life. I make use of power point presentations while teaching and also provide systematic study material .I enjoy conducting the practical (experiments) sessions for the students in the Chemistry lab.I take  personal interest in organizing subject related extra curricular activities for the students as it helps them to develop a keen interest in Chemistry. I try my level best to interact with the students and to make the subject of Chemistry as interesting as possible by presenting it in the simplest and fun filled manner.

I have been passionately involved in the field of teaching since 1998, with experience ranging from 1st standard to postgraduate level in Chemistry. I hold an MSc in Analytical Chemistry and a BEd, and have had the privilege of teaching Algebra and Geometry to 10th standard students for three years at St. Teresa's Girls School, Haregaon. I later served for seven and a half years as a faculty member in the Chemistry Department at Sophia College for Women, Senior College. I have joined Junior College Chemistry Department from November 2024. I take great pride in supporting students who find academics challenging and believe in guiding them not just academically, but emotionally and personally as well. I am a strong advocate of holistic education, encouraging active participation in co-curricular activities. I believe that with self-belief, there is nothing one cannot achieve. For those who are willing to take the challenge - SKY IS THE LIMIT!
