Education

PhD: Genome Instability and Cancer at Curie Institute
Pierre & Marie Curie University
Paris, France

Cancer cells are characterized by their ability to grow at an uncontrolled, quickened and indefinite pace. Point mutations in tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes, changes in chromosome copy numbers and structure are various forms of genome instability that constitute a hallmark of cancer. Several studies suggest a strong correlation and molecular colocalization between breakpoints that lead to chromosome rearrangements in cancer and breaks at nonrandom genomic loci called common fragile sites (CFSs). This finding highlights the importance of CFSs in oncogenesis. CFSs are site-specific breaks that are observed on metaphase chromosomes when cells are cultured under stress conditions.

***ENGLISH BELOW***
Hello! My name is Sanne (25) and I have a Master's degree in Biochemistry. I am currently a trainee teacher and am working on obtaining a first-degree teaching qualification in biology. I enjoy supporting students with the subject matter and sharing my enthusiasm for the STEM subjects. I have now helped more than 20 students with biology, chemistry, and mathematics.

During the tutoring sessions, we actively work together on assignments, and I help you learn to solve problems independently. In addition, it is important that you practice independently between lessons.

I offer support with:
- Clearing backlogs
- Specific chapters or topics that are difficult
- Preparation for school exams and central exams (vmbo, havo and vwo)
- VAVO, state examination, and CCVX tracks

I offer tutoring at my home in Groningen West, but tutoring at your home is also possible. I charge a travel allowance for this (see rates).

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.

Each student has their own way of understanding and reasoning; my role is to identify the one that will allow them to progress effectively.

During my studies, I had the opportunity to mentor a blind student in her biology courses for a year. This experience convinced me that effective teaching relies primarily on the teacher's ability to adapt to their student, and not the other way around.

The first session is devoted to an educational assessment:

* assessment of the student's level in the chosen subjects;
* identification of its strengths, its difficulties and its way of approaching scientific problems;
* discussion on its objectives in order to develop a personalized work program, presented to the student and, if necessary, to his or her parents or legal representative.

I offer courses from middle school up to Bac+5 level in cell and molecular biology as well as in biotechnology, and up to Bac+3 level in biochemistry, enzymology and biostatistics.

Ever wondered why Biology is so tough and it’s just about remembering stuff? Then, you have been definitely studying it the wrong way..

When you understand how a cell divides, how the plants grow, how the DNA duplicates itself or how the genes work, that’s where the actual fun of biology is.

Join me to understand the very fundamentals of our beautiful world and learn Biology as we go along:)
