Classes can be in person or digital.
Younes
give courses in languages and applied biochemistryMy name is Younes and I give language lessons, for me teaching means learning twice so my learning method is based on simplicity and above all you have to move forward according to the student's rhythm to allow him to learn. improve and acquire new bases and be able to assimilate new information without ever becoming saturated. Sometimes it's better to go slowly but surely. In addition, I am a young researcher in applied biochemistry and a temporary teacher at the university for 4 years, so for those who have difficulties and gaps in biochemistry, I will be there to simplify you and above all to make you discover the world. wonder of biochemistry and thank you for stopping by.

Come and learn Biology and Chemistry with an expert. Book now and have your best experience.In the CIE (Cambridge International) curriculum, Biochemistry is primarily covered in Biology and partially in Chemistry at both IGCSE and AS/A Level. It focuses on the chemical processes and molecules essential for life. Here's a detailed overview:
IGCSE Biology (0610/0970)
Biochemistry at the IGCSE level introduces students to basic biological molecules and processes:
1. Biological Molecules
- Carbohydrates:
- Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose), disaccharides (e.g., sucrose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen).
- Role in energy storage and release.
- Proteins:
- Made up of amino acids.
- Functions: enzymes, structural components (e.g., keratin), and hormones.
- Lipids:
- Fats and oils: composed of fatty acids and glycerol.
- Role in energy storage, insulation, and cell membranes.
2. Enzymes
- Biological catalysts that speed up reactions.
- Factors affecting enzyme activity: temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.
3. Photosynthesis
- Biochemical process in plants to produce glucose using light energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
- Equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
4. Respiration
- Aerobic respiration: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP).
- Anaerobic respiration in humans: Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy.
5. DNA and Protein Synthesis (Basic level)
- DNA as the molecule of inheritance.
- Role of DNA in carrying genetic information.

- Lipids: Triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Role in membranes and energy storage.
- Proteins:
- Levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
- Role of proteins in enzymes, antibodies, and transport (e.g., hemoglobin).
- Nucleic Acids:
- Structure of DNA and RNA.
- Role of nucleic acids in protein synthesis.
2. Enzymes
- Enzyme structure and mode of action (lock-and-key, induced fit).
- Enzyme kinetics and factors affecting enzyme activity.
- Competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
3. Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
- ATP production and its importance as an energy currency.
4. Photosynthesis
- Light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions.
- Factors affecting photosynthesis.
5. Molecular Biology
- DNA replication, transcription, and translation.
- Role of mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes in protein synthesis.
6. Biochemical Processes in Cells
- Role of ATP in metabolism.
- Metabolic pathways and enzyme regulation.

CIE AS and A Level Chemistry (9701)
While biochemistry is primarily a biology topic, it also features in chemistry at A Level:
1. Amino Acids and Proteins
- Structure of amino acids and peptide bonds.
- Protein hydrolysis and analysis.
2. Carbohydrates
- Structure of glucose and its isomers.
- Reactions of carbohydrates (e.g., oxidation).
3. Lipids
- Structure of triglycerides, fatty acids, and phospholipids.
- Saponification and ester formation.
4. Biochemical Techniques
- Chromatography for separating amino acids and sugars.
- Use of enzymes as biological catalysts in industrial processes.

préparation aux concours de réorientation de médecine ( SVT)I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

Learn Hindi in an easy and interesting way with meHello I am Rizwana. I 'm from India.Hindi is my native Language. I also teach English, Urdu and Gujarati language. I have 7 years of experience in teaching.Teaching language is my passion but over the years I have experienced that more than passion it requires lot of patience and dedication. And every student has a different requirement. So I first try and understand the psychology, the strengths of my students and then I prepare the lesson plans accordingly.
