× The teacher is of chemistry.
✓ The teacher is a chemistry teacher.
The preposition 'of' is incorrect here. Use a noun phrase 'a chemistry teacher' to indicate the subject the teacher teaches. Suggestion: say 'a chemistry teacher' rather than 'of chemistry'.
× Her name is Bini Chopra, and he is very nice and very supportive.
✓ Her name is Bini Chopra, and she is very nice and very supportive.
The pronoun 'he' does not agree with the feminine noun 'Her name' and the name. Use 'she' to match the female subject. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in gender with the person referred to.
× No, I don't want to be a teacher in the future because I want to pursue career in nursing.
✓ No, I don't want to be a teacher in the future because I want to pursue a career in nursing.
The noun 'career' requires an indefinite article here. Use 'a career' to refer to one career path. Suggestion: include 'a' before singular, countable nouns when speaking generally.
× Yeah, definitely my chemistry teacher, I still remember him because of her nature and she is very hardworking and always ready to help me.
✓ Yeah, definitely my chemistry teacher; I still remember her because of her nature. She is very hardworking and always ready to help me.
Mixed pronouns 'him' and 'her' create confusion. Use consistent pronouns matching the teacher's gender ('her'). Also split into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: track the subject and use consistent pronouns.
× She is very polite and always tackle all the problems and motivate me to score good marks.
✓ She is very polite and always tackles problems and motivates me to get good marks.
Pronouns fine but verbs do not agree with singular subject. Use third person singular verb forms 'tackles' and 'motivates'. Also 'score good marks' is better as 'get good marks'. Suggestion: for he/she/it, add -s to verbs in present simple; use natural collocations.
× I'm still in touch with my primary school teachers through mobile phones and on weekends I make sure to meet them and but on my busy days I stay connected with them through mobile phones like through SMS or calls.
✓ I'm still in touch with my primary school teachers by mobile phone, and on weekends I make sure to meet them, but on my busy days I stay connected with them by SMS or calls.
Unnecessary repetition 'through mobile phones' and awkward conjunction placement 'and but'. Use 'by mobile phone' (preposition choice) and 'but' to contrast. Also simplify 'through mobile phones like through SMS or calls' to 'by SMS or calls'. Suggestion: avoid repeating phrases and use correct connectors.
× Uh, my favorite teacher is a chemistry of chemistry.
✓ Uh, my favorite teacher is a chemistry teacher.
The phrase 'a chemistry of chemistry' is ungrammatical. Use 'a chemistry teacher' to indicate the subject taught. Suggestion: use '[subject] teacher' structure.
× She helped me to encourage.
✓ She helped to encourage me.
Word order and transitivity are incorrect. 'Encourage' is a transitive verb that needs an object; place the object 'me' after the verb or use 'helped me to feel encouraged'. Suggestion: use 'helped to encourage me' or 'helped me feel encouraged'.
× She always helped me when I am demotivated and still stay back in after the class to clear my all the doubts.
✓ She always helps me when I am demotivated and still stays back after class to clear all my doubts.
Tense and subject-verb agreement errors: 'helped' (past) conflicts with 'always' and 'am demotivated' (present). Use present simple 'helps' for habitual actions. Also 'stays back after class' is correct order and 'all the doubts' should be 'all my doubts'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions and correct word order for prepositional phrases.
× And during my exams she always helped me to make difficult concepts.
✓ And during my exams she always helped me understand difficult concepts.
'Make difficult concepts' is incorrect collocation. Use 'helped me understand' or 'explained difficult concepts' to convey assistance in comprehension. Past tense 'helped' is acceptable here if referring to specific past exams; keep tense consistent with context. Suggestion: use verbs like 'helped me understand' or 'explained' for clarity.
