Biology Instructor for beginners, in English and Greek

From 11.82 £ /h

My classes are for students who want to get famiriazed with the fascinating world of Biology! As my Bachelor's studies covered the majority of the Biology fields, together we can explore all three domains of life, starting our journey from the molecular level, moving on to the cells -the smallest units of life- and, finally, ending up to the populations.
Looking forward to hear from you!

About Me

Hey there!

I am Xanthippi, a Greek M.Sc. student at Copenhagen Business School (CBS).
I have a B.Sc. in Biology, earned by National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. My Bachelor's studies covered a wide range of fields of this fascinating science. More specifically, I learned about Plant and Animal Physiology, Zoology, Genetics, Microbiology, Evolution, Molecular Biology and many others. This way, thoughout those years, I acquired a well-rounded picture of Biology.
After my studies in Athens, I wanted to find a way to apply my knowledge and produce tangible results. This is why I have freshly started a master's programme in Bioentrepreneurship, in Copenhagen.
Furthemore, it is the right time for me to start sharing my knowledge with other people who want to explore the field of Biology or delve a little bit deeper into it.
Through my experience as a Science Communicator, in Athens Science Festival and Researcher's Night, I discovered my love to communicate scientific topics with others!
I also confirmed my belief that the best way to convey a complex concept is through visual aids and real-life examples. Thus, these are the teaching techniques I will integrade into my classes.
Finally, I believe that, as with any human interaction, teaching should be carried out with the active contribution and active listening of both the instructor and the student.
I can't wait to meet my next eager-to-learn student.
Looking forward to hear from you!!

I teach students biology up to 12th grade. I use very easy methods of teaching even for advanced level topics.
I specialize in teaching for school, board exams as well as for NEET and other medical entrances.
I assign homework after every session and take a doubt class before starting another topics.
I excel at human physiology and genetics, though I am really good at plant physiology as well.

I offer personalized Biology lessons for students studying IGCSE, GCSE, and A-Level, with a focus on building strong concepts and achieving excellent exam results.

Biology can involve a lot of memorization, but my approach is different—I help you understand the logic behind each topic using clear explanations, diagrams, and real-life examples so you can remember easily and apply your knowledge in exams.

I can help you with:
• Cell biology and human physiology
• Genetics, DNA, and evolution
• Ecology and environmental biology
• Diagrams, processes, and key definitions
• Exam preparation and past paper practice

My teaching approach includes:
• Step-by-step concept explanation
• Visual learning with diagrams and flowcharts
• Past paper solving and exam techniques
• Regular revision and progress tracking

I also support students from other international curricula, and lessons are fully adapted to your syllabus and learning style.

Whether you need help understanding basics or preparing for exams, I will guide you to improve your confidence and performance in Biology.

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.

This class is designed for parents who are seeking a high-quality, structured, and intellectually sound educational experience for their children, combining English language learning with biology and life sciences in a thoughtful and age-appropriate manner.
English is taught at beginner and intermediate levels, with a strong emphasis on conceptual understanding, correct language use, and confidence in communication. Lessons are carefully structured and adapted to each student’s cognitive level, learning pace, and educational needs. Particular attention is paid to building a solid foundation in vocabulary, comprehension, and spoken English, ensuring long-term progress rather than short-term memorisation.
Biology is integrated as a meaningful educational component, not as a superficial add-on. Depending on the student’s age and goals, instruction may range from basic life science concepts to school-level and academic biology, including introductory cell biology and molecular biology topics. Scientific content is presented clearly and logically, fostering analytical thinking while simultaneously strengthening English comprehension in an academic context.
This combined approach supports students not only in improving their English, but also in learning how to understand and articulate scientific concepts in English, an essential skill for modern education. The class is particularly suitable for families who value academic depth, clarity of instruction, and personalised teaching.

As a qualified physician, I offer tutoring in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology and medical sciences for pupils, students and adults.

My goal is to make complex concepts simple, logical, and easy to remember. I help students understand the mechanisms rather than memorizing them, using a clear, structured method adapted to each student's level.

I can tutor high school students, students preparing for exams, as well as students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, biology, or other health-related fields. Tutoring can cover topics such as understanding course material, exam preparation, problem-solving, study methods, or intensive review.

Thanks to my medical training, I explain scientific topics with concrete and clinical examples, which helps to better understand human biology, diseases, physiological mechanisms and the basics of chemistry/biology applied to health.

Courses can be given in French, English or Arabic depending on the student's needs.
