The SAT exam is one of the major steps you need to go through in your life; it's a step that is going to determine your college, your university, and your future as a whole. As with a lot of things in life, it can be a hard step, and there is no shame in asking for help. Here comes my role: I will help you overcome your problems and your difficulties. My job here is to help you achieve your desired results and unlock your potential. Simply put, we will go through every lesson, every unit, and every chapter. We will understand the concept of each lesson, with clear examples to follow. After each one, you will be tested, and after finishing your program, you will be tested on it. That's my plan for my students, so if you are interested, you can easily contact me.

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.

I offer private tutoring at home for all levels, from primary school to high school. A typical session consists of the following steps:

-Reviewing the student's course materials, with answers to any questions.
-Correction of teacher's exercises or specific exercises depending on the student's difficulties.
-Preparation for possible student assessments using formative assessments that I have developed, targeting the student's difficulties.

Everything is tailored to each student using fun and engaging methods. Learning while having fun is not impossible!

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and 2 Masters degrees from the University of Paris V René-Descartes.
Since the beginning of my higher education, and since I established myself as a freelancer after 10 years of managerial career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been used to regularly giving private lessons to pupils and students of all levels, Primary, Secondary and Higher, supporting them until they pass their exams.
The main disciplines in which I support students are essentially scientific.
The perspectives provided are transdisciplinary.

Hi, I'm Maidi ! I'm a 3rd year medicine student aspiring to become a cardiovascular surgeon, I always have had a keen interest for biology since I was 11. I'm always very excited to share my interest and fascination with willing students by helping them form a strong foundation, building-up on said foundation and feeding their curiosity while also helping with success in their exams. I can confidently provide tutorship in English and Turkish.

My main goal for each lecture is to first make sure you are having fun learning the astonishing world of biology and second making sure you are learning with logic and understanding instead of memorizing the material given just to pass an exam. I aim to provide a safe learning environment where no question is out of bounds. I also provide with quizzes according to the topic done after the lectures in order to ensure lasting memory.

Whether you are a student wanting to perform better in an exam, a biology enthusiast which wants to start deepening their knowledge or want to pick a new learning hobby, I would be more than happy to teach and help you achieve your goals.
