KS1-3 Maths and/or GCSE Chemistry/Biology Tuition from an experienced tutor !Hello, I’m Nisath, a dedicated tutor with 4 years of tutoring experience, particularly in teaching KS1-3. Throughout my tutoring journey, I’ve developed a teaching style that prioritizes making lessons proactive, interactive, and fully customized to meet each student’s unique learning needs. I believe that every student learns differently, and my approach is designed to adapt to their individual pace and style.
Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in Chemistry, which has equipped me with a strong, comprehensive understanding of both GCSE Chemistry and Biology as well as KS1-3 Maths. I’m experienced in common exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, which would allow me to tailor lessons specifically towards what students need to excel in their exams.
I often conduct slightly longer tuition sessions, to provide a more holistic and thorough learning experience. This extended time frame allows us to explore topics in greater depth without feeling rushed, making room for a well-paced combination of concept explanation as well as exam practice with exercises and past questions.
Ultimately, my goal as a tutor is to enhance your comprehension, improve your academic performance, and help you achieve the best possible results.

Come and learn Biology and Chemistry with an expert. Book now and have your best experience.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.
