Competition makes us realise how much and how far we have to go before going to sleep. In today's competitive world one has to be updated on his/her subject and other subjects as well. Biology (Zoology and Botany) are my thrust areas. Every cell in the body of living organisms is working on its own with much precision and detailed accounts have been carried out by many scientists. The most fascinating characteristic about the Biology is that we don't realise how many functions takes place when we are standing, running, eating, typing, talking and even while we are asleep. I believe in studying biology via flow charts and colored diagrams and the most fun part is we can score highest marks just by drawing an important diagram and writing 5-6 important points. My tutoring strategy is to culminate the students with knowledge for future endeavours and not just to blabber few lines for examination purpose. Our strategy is what makes us different from others, reading the topic 2-3 times and making out a diagram/flow chart with important points and then pasting that page on the opposite wall just to stare for a few minutes and memorising will make things easy to remember and imbibe the knowledge for whole life.
