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!!

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.

Ever wondered why Biology is so tough and it’s just about remembering stuff? Then, you have been definitely studying it the wrong way..

When you understand how a cell divides, how the plants grow, how the DNA duplicates itself or how the genes work, that’s where the actual fun of biology is.

Join me to understand the very fundamentals of our beautiful world and learn Biology as we go along:)

Hello! My name is Evgenia, and I am a biologist, researcher and experienced teacher with a strong academic background.

I have been passionate about Biology since the age of 14 and graduated from a specialised Biology class before studying Biology at university. I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biology and am currently completing my PhD in Biology. I am also the author of seven scientific publications and have extensive research experience in genetics, evolution, zoology and animal biology.

Alongside my research, I have many years of teaching experience. I have taught Biology and Zoology in specialised school programmes, worked as a lecturer at an educational centre preparing students for Biology exams and the International Biology Olympiad, and participated in university and public science education programmes. I have also provided individual tutoring, working with students of different ages and levels and adapting lessons to their individual needs.

For me, Biology is much more than a school subject. I love science as a way of thinking: asking questions, understanding how processes work, finding connections and using knowledge to solve problems. This is also the approach I bring to my teaching.

I aim to make complex scientific concepts clear and understandable without oversimplifying the science. Rather than relying on memorisation, I help students understand the principles behind biological processes and learn how to reason through unfamiliar problems.

I also believe that a good connection between the teacher and student is essential. I always take the student's interests, goals and existing knowledge into account, and I often begin with topics that genuinely interest them. This helps create a comfortable learning environment and makes studying more engaging and enjoyable.

My lessons are suitable for school students, including those preparing for exams and Biology Olympiads, as well as university students who need support with Biology and related subjects. I can teach in both English and Russian.
