Up until the 19th century Biology seemed to be the forgotten science; while Chemistry and Physics were making revolutionary discoveries, Biology was lagging behind. However, Biology finally picked up speed with Darwin's Theory and it's now a very popular science amongst students.

While Biology can often seem daunting, with my classes I aim to explain and help those students who, like Biology in the past, feel like they are lagging behind :). Depending on what the student needs, I can help them go through what they have done in class, help with their homework or help them keep ahead! I might occasionally send some homework to make sure the knowledge is sinking in.

I am a graduate in pharmaceutical sciences (gold-medalist) and I teach the following subjects: Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology, Analytical Chemistry.
Highly interactive and friendly sessions to ensure complete comprehension of concepts and revision of basic fundamentals. A progress monitor is recorded and updated to better the understanding ability and progress of the learner.
Being a post-graduate student myself, I am aware of the teaching environment and methodology a student expects. I believe being comfortable in asking questions until a concept is crystal clear, is of utmost importance at any level of learning.

Biology is the fascinating study of life and living organisms. It explores the vast diversity of living things, from tiny bacteria to towering trees and from microscopic cells to complex ecosystems. In biology, we delve into the structures, functions, behaviors, and interactions of living organisms, as well as the processes that govern life, such as growth, reproduction, and adaptation.

Through biology, we uncover the interconnectedness of all living things and understand how they are influenced by their environments. From the depths of the ocean to the highest mountains, life exists in various forms, each adapted to thrive in its specific habitat. By studying biology, we gain insights into the wonders of the natural world and develop a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of ecosystems that sustains life on Earth.

In our private classes, we will embark on an exciting journey through the realms of biology, exploring topics such as genetics, ecology, evolution, anatomy, and physiology. Through engaging discussions, hands-on activities, and captivating experiments, we will unlock the mysteries of life and cultivate a passion for understanding the living world around us. Join me as we unravel the secrets of biology and discover the beauty and complexity of life!

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.
