Mastering Life Sciences: Biology, Biochemistry, and BeyondScience especially Biology, has always been my passion—a world of discovery, curiosity, and endless possibilities. With a Master’s degree in Applied Biosciences and Biotechnology from Imperial College London, I’ve spent years exploring the fascinating interplay of biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and chemistry. What drives me most is the ability to inspire others to see the wonder in these subjects, empowering students to embrace science as a way to understand and shape the world around them.
In my classes, I aim to make biology approachable and enjoyable. I believe that every student has a unique way of learning, so I tailor my lessons to suit their needs, whether they’re building foundational knowledge or diving into advanced topics. My teaching style is interactive and friendly, using real-world examples, experiments, and visual aids to explain complex ideas in a simple, engaging manner. I encourage questions and discussions, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring their curiosity.
Together, we’ll not only tackle academic goals but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that go beyond the classroom. Whether preparing for exams, improving grades, or simply nurturing a love for science, my goal is to make learning both meaningful and fun. I look forward to sparking that “aha!” moment for my students and guiding them on their educational journey.

تدريس مادة الميكرو بايولوجي بطريقة حديثة للتغلب على مشاكل الحفظ والاستذكارالميكرو عامة مادة صعبة الحفظ كتير من الطلاب بيكسلو يذاكروها وبيفضلو انهم ينقصو الدرجتين او تلاتة الخاصين بيها فالامتحان ع انهم يقعدو يحفظو فكلام متفرق وكتير ومش عارفين يلموه
عشان كدا معانا فالميكرو ان شاءالله سيستم مختلف تماما انا شخصيا كنت بعتمد عليه فحفظ مادة الميكرو لما كنت بحضر لامتحانات المعادلة الامريكية USMLE وبصراحة فادني جدا وقدرت من خلاله احفظ الميكرو لاول مرة بعد ما عانيت معاها كتير جدا
محاضرتنا مقسمة لتلات اجازء
١.شرح المحاضرة من pdf الدكتور
٢.حفظ كل المعلومات من خلال صورة واحدة نلم بيها كل التفاصيل
٣.حل مجموعة MCQs كبيرة بحيث نأكد على حفظ المحاضرة كويس جدا
بأذن الله هتخرج من محاضرة الميكرو فاهم وحافظ تمام ومش هتحتاج تبذل اي مجهود اضافي ان شاءالله

If you are struggling with your studies or to understand concepts for your exams you can ask me. I have a lot of material available such as medical books, videos, slides and other resources. I work a lot with illustrations and screen sharing to explain concepts to students. Also, my courses are structured and I provide tips on how to achieve best performance during exams auto study tips as well.
I am now an experienced medical student finishing off my theoretical part and I totally understand your struggles. If you feel like I can help you please feel free to drop a message. I will teach you from different perspectives and a lot of comprehension. There are no weird questions to me. As most subjects flow into each other, I focus on clinical diseases or blocks of systems I.e cardiology would be focusing on development, physiology, anatomy, clinical pictures with cases etc. It’s all intertwined and hence truly fun to teach. I can adapt my courses to individuals with very specific questions and offer long term support.

Come and learn Biology and Chemistry with an expert. Book now and have your best experience.In the CIE (Cambridge International) curriculum, Biochemistry is primarily covered in Biology and partially in Chemistry at both IGCSE and AS/A Level. It focuses on the chemical processes and molecules essential for life. Here's a detailed overview:
IGCSE Biology (0610/0970)
Biochemistry at the IGCSE level introduces students to basic biological molecules and processes:
1. Biological Molecules
- Carbohydrates:
- Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose), disaccharides (e.g., sucrose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen).
- Role in energy storage and release.
- Proteins:
- Made up of amino acids.
- Functions: enzymes, structural components (e.g., keratin), and hormones.
- Lipids:
- Fats and oils: composed of fatty acids and glycerol.
- Role in energy storage, insulation, and cell membranes.
2. Enzymes
- Biological catalysts that speed up reactions.
- Factors affecting enzyme activity: temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.
3. Photosynthesis
- Biochemical process in plants to produce glucose using light energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
- Equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
4. Respiration
- Aerobic respiration: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP).
- Anaerobic respiration in humans: Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy.
5. DNA and Protein Synthesis (Basic level)
- DNA as the molecule of inheritance.
- Role of DNA in carrying genetic information.
