Introduction to Molecular Biology (University Level)
Molecular biology opens up a fascinating world of invisible processes that sustain all life on Earth. In this introductory class, we will explore the basic molecules that compose living organisms – cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins.
We will first examine cells, the fundamental units of life. Peer inside them with microscopes to understand their structure and function. Next, we will study DNA, the molecule that operates as an instruction manual containing all the information required to build an organism. We will learn how DNA replicates itself and gets passed to new cells during cell division.
From there, we will look at RNA, which translates genetic information from DNA and assists in assembling proteins. Proteins, in turn, carry out most of the work within cells and comprise much of your tissues and organs. We will see how changes in DNA can alter proteins and affect an organism’s traits.
This class will provide an overview of key concepts in molecular biology. You will get to explore the microscopic world that makes life possible! See how cells work and how DNA, RNA, and proteins interact in creative ways to produce the amazing diversity of living things – from simple bacteria to complex humans. It will be an illuminating journey!

Education
PhD Molecular Genetics - Brunel University London, UKMasters Biomedicine - University of Portsmouth, UK
Bachelors Biomedical Science - University of Portsmouth, UK
Experience / Qualifications
6+ years lecturing across UK universities (Portsmouth, Surrey and Brunel).Teaching students aged 14 - 20 from school to undergraduate university level.
Welcome to the fascinating world of molecular biology! In this introductory class, we'll explore the basic building blocks that make up living organisms - cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins. Get ready to zoom in deep to see these microscopic molecules up close.
We'll start by looking at cells under a microscope. What do they look like? How do they function? Then we'll dive into the structure of DNA and how it acts like an instruction manual, containing all the information needed to build an organism. We'll learn how DNA is copied and passed on to new cells during cell division.
Next up is RNA, which helps transmit genetic information from DNA and assists in building proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells and make up much of your hair, skin, muscles and organs. We'll see how mutations in DNA can lead to changes in proteins, affecting how an organism looks and functions.
This introductory class will give you an overview of the fundamental concepts of molecular biology. Get ready to explore the nanoscale world that makes life possible! Discover how cells work and what DNA, RNA and proteins do to create the diversity of living things, from bacteria to blue whales. It will be a fascinating journey!

IB Biology SL tutoring for those in need of extra support with anything biology-related, whether it's to do with anatomy or plants!I completed Biology HL in IB with a 6 overall. I am now studying it at the university level and am ready to help students struggling with IB Biology SL. I am familiar with the syllabus and can help students break down complex topics into simpler concepts that are easy to digest.
We will begin with a lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. At the end of every class I expect students to let me know what they need help with next time or tell me 3 days before the next lesson at the latest. This ensures each class makes the most of our time together. At the beginning of the next lesson we will do a few practice questions to revise out previous class and continue with the next desired topic.
I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

Biology - all levels: MCAT, GCSE, SAT, International Baccalaureate, etcIn this module I tutor in biology on a middle school to high school to college level, depending on what is required by the student. The possibilities vary from simple lessons about basic concepts all the way to the topics needed to pass ''end exams'' like the SAT, GCSE, MCAT and International Baccalaureate.
My knowledge from medical school help me explain the material on a deeper level if the student requires so.
Alessia
Latin, Ancient Greek, and Biology tutoring classesI have several years of experience tutoring students of different age groups in Latin and Ancient Greek. I am deeply passionate about these languages and I enjoy helping students improving at them.
I believe that understanding the structure of a sentence is fundamental when approaching these languages, therefore this is an important focus for me. During the class I always dedicate some time to reasoning and translating sentences together with the student.
I have a BS in pharmaceutical biotechnology and I am currently a master student in Medicine. I find biology very fascinating and I have been tutoring it for years now. Depending on the topic and the student's needs, I structure the lessons differently. I usually explain the topic and use tools such as spaced repetition, notes, conceptual maps to make sure that the student has understood.

IB Biology Higher Level Tutoring – Let’s Make Sense of LifeHey there! If IB Biology HL feels like a whirlwind of enzymes, organelles, and unfamiliar terms — you’re not alone. I remember that feeling too. But once I got a solid grip on the subject, everything started to click — and it opened the door for me to study medicine and dive into research at a hospital, where I now work on real-world biology every day.
I’m here to help you find that same clarity and confidence. Whether you're tackling tough topics, preparing for exams, or wrestling with your IA, I’ll tailor our sessions to what you need most. We’ll go at your pace, focus on understanding (not just memorizing), and I’ll always explain things in plain language — no jargon unless you want the jargon.
Expect structured support, practical tips, and the occasional mitochondria joke. Let’s turn HL Biology into something that makes sense — and maybe even something you enjoy.

As of this semester, I will start my master's degree in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), one of the prestigious master's programs at the Technical University of Munich.
WHY SHOULD YOU STUDY WITH ME?
With my unique lecture technique, I give you new perspectives in both subject comprehension and question solving. Before the lesson, I make the lessons most effective by compiling level-specific course PDFs and questions appropriate to the student's level. After the lesson, I share the course materials with my students. I also shared the video recording of the lesson so that the students could repeat the lesson.
You will gain speed and practicality in solving questions with the new perspectives you have acquired. I have always received positive feedback from the lessons I have given so far. We will gain new perspectives, and I am with you in achieving success with my lessons, including full lectures and question solutions.

KS3/GCSE/A Level Science/Chemistry/Biology/Maths tutoringAbout my tutoring:
In my tutoring sessions, I will work with students to help them achieve their best grades. A typical lesson will include understanding content, mastering exam technique, and attempting and improving past exam question answers. I believe the best way to learn is in an active and engaging way, so this is how my classes will be, with lots of discussions and active recall to ensure understanding and embedding of knowledge and skill is maximised.
About me:
I am a current undergraduate student studying biology and chemistry at Cambridge University, so I understand the difficulty and pressure of exams and want to help students prepare and take away some of that worry and stress. I have also had experience teaching science in high school, so have deep-rooted knowledge surrounding science education. I truly understand the best ways to prepare and revise for GCSEs and A Levels, and have straight grade 9s and A*s to prove this. I have over two years experience in tutoring and have real in-classroom experience of teaching science in secondary school, so am equipped to help students achieve their best.
