In the IGCSE and CIE (Cambridge International Education)curricula, Genetics is a part of Biology under the broader topics of inheritance and variation. It is covered in both IGCSE Biologyand AS/A Level Biology. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect in each:

IGCSE Biology (Cambridge - 0610/0970)
The topic of genetics is introduced under the following key areas:

1. Variation and Inheritance
- Genetic variation: Understanding differences caused by genetic and environmental factors.
- Inheritance:
- Definition of key terms: genes, alleles, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype.
- Monohybrid inheritance (using Punnett squares to predict offspring ratios).
- Concepts of dominant and recessive traits.
- Structure of DNA:
- Basic structure of DNA (double helix) and its role in carrying genetic information.
- Mutations:
- Causes (e.g., radiation, chemicals) and effects of mutations on organisms.

2. Selective Breeding and Genetic Engineering (basic concepts):
- Selective breeding in animals and plants to produce desired traits.
- Introduction to genetic modification (GM), though details are limited in IGCSE.

---

CIE AS and A Level Biology (9700)
At the A Level, genetics is covered in greater depth. Key concepts include:

1. DNA and Protein Synthesis:
- Structure of DNA, RNA, and nucleotides.
- Transcription, translation, and protein synthesis.
- Genetic code and its universal nature.

2. Cell Division:
- Mitosis and meiosis.
- Significance of meiosis in genetic variation (crossing over, independent assortment).

3. Inheritance:
- Mendelian genetics: monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.
- Codominance and multiple alleles.
- Sex-linked inheritance (e.g., haemophilia, color blindness).
- Pedigree analysis.

4. Gene Technology:
- Recombinant DNA technology (genetic modification and cloning).
- Applications of genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture.

5. Mutations:
- Gene mutations and their effects.
- Chromosomal abnormalities.

6. Variation and Selection:
- Natural selection and evolution.
- Role of genetic variation in populations.

---
Summary
- At the IGCSE level, genetics focuses on basic concepts of inheritance, variation, DNA structure, and simple Punnett square problems.
- At the AS/A Level, the depth increases significantly, introducing advanced topics like meiosis, protein synthesis, genetic engineering, and natural selection.

These Molecular Biology courses are aimed at bachelor's and master's levels and combine theoretical foundations with practical applications essential in modern life sciences. During the courses, we cover topics including:
The basic principles of molecular biology (DNA, RNA, genes, proteins, central dogma),
Differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems,
DNA and RNA extraction methods (organic, inorganic, membrane-based),
Gel electrophoresis for analysis of DNA and RNA,
PCR and qPCR: principle, reagents, primer design, interpretation of results,
Applications in biotechnology, food safety, microbiology and gene expression

The lessons are structured and adapted to the student's level and goals. I explain complex concepts step by step and focus on comprehension, experimental thinking, and data interpretation, not just memorization. This type of support is ideal for:
University students who need extra support,
Exam preparation,
Thesis and research supervision,
Students who take courses in English and want to strengthen their content

Lessons can be given in English (and if necessary Dutch), online or by appointment.

This plant biology course helps students understand the structure, function, and diversity of plants, from the cell to the entire organism, by successively covering the plant cell, tissues, the anatomy and morphology of organs (root, stem, leaf, flower), basic physiology (photosynthesis, nutrition, growth), and plant reproduction (asexual and sexual). It uses clear diagrams, practical exercises, and concrete examples to prepare students for tests and exams, whether at the high school level (Life and Earth Sciences) or in the first, second, and third years of biology/agronomy, master's programs, engineering programs, etc.

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!

Personalized classes covering syllabus, study methods, and materials in any area of molecular biology and biochemistry. I typically teach at a university level but can also adapt to high school and secondary school biology.

Graduated in Biochemistry from the Autonomous University of Madrid, with a master's degree in molecular biomedicine and currently doing a doctorate in brain metastasis and immunotherapy at the IIBM Sols Morreale.
I have always loved molecular biology, and especially the ability to understand it in detail so I can play with it and help people through research.
In addition to in-person classes, I give talks in high schools. I like to connect students to complex topics like biochemistry and relate them to aspects of their lives, and I like to do it through interesting facts and fun, engaging information.

This class is designed for parents who are seeking a high-quality, structured, and intellectually sound educational experience for their children, combining English language learning with biology and life sciences in a thoughtful and age-appropriate manner.
English is taught at beginner and intermediate levels, with a strong emphasis on conceptual understanding, correct language use, and confidence in communication. Lessons are carefully structured and adapted to each student’s cognitive level, learning pace, and educational needs. Particular attention is paid to building a solid foundation in vocabulary, comprehension, and spoken English, ensuring long-term progress rather than short-term memorisation.
Biology is integrated as a meaningful educational component, not as a superficial add-on. Depending on the student’s age and goals, instruction may range from basic life science concepts to school-level and academic biology, including introductory cell biology and molecular biology topics. Scientific content is presented clearly and logically, fostering analytical thinking while simultaneously strengthening English comprehension in an academic context.
This combined approach supports students not only in improving their English, but also in learning how to understand and articulate scientific concepts in English, an essential skill for modern education. The class is particularly suitable for families who value academic depth, clarity of instruction, and personalised teaching.
