GED - The General Educational Development. The GED is an alternative to a high school diploma.
The General Educational Development (GED) is a series of four tests that certifies a student's academic knowledge is equivalent to a high school diploma in the United States. The GED is an alternative to a high school diploma. It's a good option for students who haven't completed their secondary-level studies but want to access a U.S. university. Work with me in your GED journey. I have over 6 years of teaching experience with international students from the United States of America I give home works and assignments on a regular basis. Book a session with me in GED to get started. I interact with my students during lessons. After each lesson, i give students home works and assignment.

General definition of cell, cell structure, the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
The cell, the fundamental unit of all living beings, is a complex structure composed of different elements working in harmony. The plasma membrane: the protective envelope The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that delimits the cell and separates it from its environment. It consists of a double layer of phospholipids, in which various proteins are integrated. These proteins play a crucial role in the transport of substances across the membrane, cell communication and cell recognition. The cytoplasm: the internal environment The cytoplasm is the aqueous medium inside the cell. It contains many organelles, inclusions, and the cytosol. The cytosol is the liquid part of the cytoplasm, rich in enzymes and molecules necessary for the chemical reactions of the cell. The Core: The Control Center The nucleus is a characteristic organelle of eukaryotic cells. It contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of DNA, organized into chromosomes. The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope pierced by nuclear pores that allow the exchange of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Organelles: specialized factories Organelles are specialized structures present in the cytoplasm. Each of them fulfills a specific function: Mitochondria: Nicknamed the "power plants" of the cell, they are the seat of cellular respiration, a process that produces the energy needed by the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum: A network of membranes involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. The Golgi apparatus: A set of flattened sacs that modify, package, and distribute proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes: Small vesicles containing digestive enzymes that break down unnecessary or damaged molecules. The cytoskeleton: the skeleton of the cell The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that gives the cell its shape, allows it to move, and organizes its organelles. It is made up of three types of filaments: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells There are two main types of cells: prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and eukaryotic cells (animals, plants, fungi). Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, are more complex and have a nucleus and many organelles.

AQA A-level biology and chemistry tutoring sessions
“Biology and chemistry at A-level are nothing like GCSE” , believe me I know. I understand how overwhelming the. jump from GCSE science to A-level science can be. As a first year university student who has completed my biology and chemistry A-levels in the summer, I’ve been through the challenges you’re all facing and I’m here to help you overcome them. In my tutoring sessions we will focus on: - mastering any topics from the AQA specification you guys are unsure about, breaking them down into easy to understand concepts and focusing on parts you need to know for your exam. - practice exam questions in every session with detailed feedback to sharpen your exam technique and to know what the examiners are looking for. -EFFECTIVE revision techniques which will help you retain any key bits of information. Each session will leave you confident in both biology and chemistry, ensure you build a strong understanding of the topic and feel prepared for your exams.

Studying the biology of all living things and other components of biology
Biology can be tricky as it contains lots of different components. This can be introduced slowly as I will provide support over lessons teaching you lots of information but a slow and steady pace giving you questions and answers along the way. Homework will also be provided this is to ensure that the lesson has stuck into your head and you have grasped it. If not there is no worries as things can take a while to learn but by the end you will feel a lot less stress about what you may be learning in biology. You may be finding one specific topic in biology hard and we can always go over that in the lesson or we can find stuff to look over in the lessons to keep your brains up to date for upcoming important exams.

Mathematics, Sciences: Secondary education - private lessons.
Need help with math or science? As a civil engineer, 31, I am happy to help you! Learn at your pace and with many examples to clarify the learning material. I have years of experience in teaching simple and complex material. The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process. Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me! See you soon! Tim
