Trusted teacher: *English below* Hello! My name is Sanne (23) and as a master student in Molecular Life Sciences I have a passion for biochemistry. I am naturally curious about the world around me and strive to convey my enthusiasm for my subject. During my studies I focus on the molecular processes and chemical reactions that take place within living cells. I enjoy helping high school students improve their understanding of chemistry, and am also willing to provide support to chemistry (or related) students depending on the subject. I can help with for example organic chemistry, structural biology, chemical calculations, and so on. In the past I have supervised bachelor students in the lab and have gained practical experience through multiple research internships and international summer schools. I have also tutored high school students in mathematics. I tailor my lessons to the specific needs of each student; from junior high school to chemistry student, whether you need help with homework, practicing for tests or need some extra explanation. Leave a message if you are interested and I will contact you as soon as possible. Hello! My name is Sanne (23), and as a master's student in Biomolecular Sciences I have a passion for biochemistry.

In the IGCSE and CIE (AS/A Level) Biology and Chemistry curricula, Organic Chemistry is a major topic, particularly within Chemistry. Here's a breakdown of what is covered at each level: --- IGCSE Chemistry (Cambridge - 0620/0971) In IGCSE, Organic Chemistry focuses on the fundamentals of carbon compounds and their reactions. Key areas include: 1. Introduction to Organic Chemistry - Definition: Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-based compounds. - Hydrocarbons: Compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen only. 2. Types of Hydrocarbons - Alkanes: - General formula: CnH2n+2 - Properties: Saturated hydrocarbons (single bonds). - Combustion and substitution reactions. - Alkenes: - General formula: CnH2n - Properties: Unsaturated hydrocarbons (double bonds). - Addition reactions (e.g., with bromine water as a test for alkenes). 3. Functional Groups and Homologous Series - Alcohols: General formula CnH2n+1OH (e.g., ethanol). - Properties and combustion. - Carboxylic Acids: General formula CnH2n+1COOH(e.g., ethanoic acid). - Weak acids, their reactions, and uses. 4. Polymers - Addition Polymerization: Formation of polymers from alkenes (e.g., poly(ethene), poly(propene)). - Natural and Synthetic Polymers: Proteins, nylon, and plastics. - Environmental Issues: Problems with non-biodegradable plastics. --- CIE AS and A Level Chemistry (9701) At the AS/A Level, Organic Chemistry is studied in greater depth, with emphasis on structure, reactions, and mechanisms. Key topics include: 1. Structure and Bonding in Organic Compounds - Structural, displayed, and skeletal formulas. - somerism: - Structural isomers. - Stereoisomerism: cis-trans(E/Z) isomerism. 2. Functional Groups and Reactions - Alkanes: Combustion and free radical substitution reactions. - Alkenes: Addition reactions (e.g., hydrogenation, halogenation, hydration). - Alcohols: Preparation (hydration of ethene) and oxidation (to aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids). - Halogenoalkanes: Nucleophilic substitution reactions. - Carboxylic Acids: Reactions (e.g., neutralization, esterification). - Esters: Formation and hydrolysis. 3. Mechanisms of Reactions - Free radical substitution (e.g., in alkanes). - Electrophilic addition (e.g., in alkenes). - Nucleophilic substitution (e.g., in halogenoalkanes). 4. Polymers and Biochemistry - Addition and condensation polymers. - Structure of proteins and DNA. 5. Organic Synthesis - Pathways for converting one functional group to another. - Use of reagents, conditions, and mechanisms in synthesis. Summary - IGCSE Organic Chemistry focuses on basic hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes), functional groups (alcohols, carboxylic acids), and polymers. - AS/A Level Organic Chemistry goes deeper into mechanisms, isomerism, synthesis pathways, and advanced functional groups.

Basics of Scientific Research for Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral Students (Sciences - Pharmacy)
Mahmoud
In my first class, I observed that Dr. Mahmoud was very enthusiastic and professional, and was able to deeply understand students' ideas and propose specific solutions. He demonstrates a high degree of expertise in science, pharmaceutical research and academic journal writing. Manage time properly during tutoring. For students who have difficulties with their homework, he can immediately provide clear study plans and guidance, and make suggestions for preparation before the next class. I highly recommend this experienced professional Dr. Mahmoud who loves teaching. He will be of great help to students who need tutoring in the future.

Courses and revalidation of chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry (Liège)
André
The best teacher I have ever had! He really works with every student the way it works best for them, instead of best for him. We've worked on biochem for 3-ish months and I've hated the subject and couldn't bring myself to even open the book and with him I passed my exam with a 85%. Can only recommend!!

David
The course was very nice! David is a very good teacher. He is very patient and attentive. He prepares materials for the class and makes sure the student is able to follow up his explanations. He is also a very lively person with whom one can have a very nice conversation. 100% recommended.
