Biology lessons for middle school, high school and college students!
Biology is a powerful science that becomes more and more influential as time passes. Biology allows for us not only to understand the world around us better but also helps us understand what goes on within our own bodies. Having studied Biology at the University of Edinburgh, I am incredibly passionate about the subject. Currently I am pursuing my research Masters degree in Biochemistry, working closely with protein design. I believe research is incredibly thrilling and learning about new research techniques and ideas feels like having a cookbook you can cook something fun and novel out of everyday! I would love to share my passion for Biology with you!

About Me
I am a focused Biochemistry Masters student at the University of Edinburgh. I strongly focus on research and believe in giving students a plethora of resources to finetune and hone their understanding of biology and biological research techniques. I believe in reading papers to better understand biological phenomena and research techniques, therefore, a lot of my focus tends to be on giving tips to better read papers. I also did IB and IGCSE Biology, therefore I am very familiar with resources regarding that as well as exam preparation. I also can help students improve their IAs (internal assessments) and for IB the extended essay!Education
University of Edinburgh- Bsc. Biological Sciences (Hons. Biochemistry).International Baccalaureate (Biology, Chemistry and English HL) with a 766 (Math, French and Psychology SL) with a 576.
Experience / Qualifications
I have taught french to year 8 students for 2 years helping them improve their performance significantly (from a B to an A).I have also received my Bsc. in Biochemistry and done 4 biology research internships.

Scottish Curriculum (National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher) BiologyI tutor Biology at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I can provide help understanding course content, practicing exam questions, and more. If you are thinking about crashing a subject I can help provide a basic level of knowledge which it is extremely beneficial to have when directly entering a subject at a Higher or Advanced Higher level.
The sessions can be completely dictated by what the student feels they need from me or I can take a more structured approach after an initial consultation.
I am a friendly and passionate tutor with a comprehensive understanding of my subject.
Younes
give courses in languages and applied biochemistryMy name is Younes and I give language lessons, for me teaching means learning twice so my learning method is based on simplicity and above all you have to move forward according to the student's rhythm to allow him to learn. improve and acquire new bases and be able to assimilate new information without ever becoming saturated. Sometimes it's better to go slowly but surely. In addition, I am a young researcher in applied biochemistry and a temporary teacher at the university for 4 years, so for those who have difficulties and gaps in biochemistry, I will be there to simplify you and above all to make you discover the world. wonder of biochemistry and thank you for stopping by.

GCSE Chemistry, Biology and Maths Masterclass - Ace your GCSEs!While I am passionate about my subjects, I understand that not everyone is ecstatic about studying. There's no point teaching simultaneous equations to a struggling student if it isn't on the GCSE Maths Foundation syllabus!
Depending on grade that the student is aiming for/predicted I will:
●spend the first lesson with students going through their exam board syllabus, make it explicit what content is the core of the course content and structure lessons in descending importance
● (for higher level students) spend the first lesson with students going through their exam board syllabus, identify the weakest links and structure lessons in ascending order of skill
I believe in spaced repetition so revisiting topics taught before is a must!
This will manifest in the form of:
●surprise questions during the first 10 minutes of lessons
●helping prepare and working through past papers when it comes closer to exam time to encourage active recall.
During normal lessons, there will be a mix of:
●theoretical teaching
●helping the student digest, understand and store useful information that has been presented
●visual aspects (diagrams)
In order for students to efficiently absorb knowledge, I will teach one core topic per lesson.
Top Tip if you want to get the most from me: Ask questions! I aim to have a friendly environment in lessons, I am not your teacher - I am your helper!

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.

- Lipids: Triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Role in membranes and energy storage.
- Proteins:
- Levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
- Role of proteins in enzymes, antibodies, and transport (e.g., hemoglobin).
- Nucleic Acids:
- Structure of DNA and RNA.
- Role of nucleic acids in protein synthesis.
2. Enzymes
- Enzyme structure and mode of action (lock-and-key, induced fit).
- Enzyme kinetics and factors affecting enzyme activity.
- Competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
3. Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Photosynthesis
- Light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions.
- Factors affecting photosynthesis.
5. Molecular Biology
- DNA replication, transcription, and translation.
- Role of mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes in protein synthesis.
6. Biochemical Processes in Cells
- Role of ATP in metabolism.
- Metabolic pathways and enzyme regulation.

CIE AS and A Level Chemistry (9701)
While biochemistry is primarily a biology topic, it also features in chemistry at A Level:
1. Amino Acids and Proteins
- Structure of amino acids and peptide bonds.
- Protein hydrolysis and analysis.
2. Carbohydrates
- Structure of glucose and its isomers.
- Reactions of carbohydrates (e.g., oxidation).
3. Lipids
- Structure of triglycerides, fatty acids, and phospholipids.
- Saponification and ester formation.
4. Biochemical Techniques
