Up until the 19th century Biology seemed to be the forgotten science; while Chemistry and Physics were making revolutionary discoveries, Biology was lagging behind. However, Biology finally picked up speed with Darwin's Theory and it's now a very popular science amongst students.

While Biology can often seem daunting, with my classes I aim to explain and help those students who, like Biology in the past, feel like they are lagging behind :). Depending on what the student needs, I can help them go through what they have done in class, help with their homework or help them keep ahead! I might occasionally send some homework to make sure the knowledge is sinking in.

I am a graduate in pharmaceutical sciences (gold-medalist) and I teach the following subjects: Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology, Analytical Chemistry.
Highly interactive and friendly sessions to ensure complete comprehension of concepts and revision of basic fundamentals. A progress monitor is recorded and updated to better the understanding ability and progress of the learner.
Being a post-graduate student myself, I am aware of the teaching environment and methodology a student expects. I believe being comfortable in asking questions until a concept is crystal clear, is of utmost importance at any level of learning.

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.
