She arrived on time to work with me. She made some excellent observations and recommendations to improve my preparation in my classes.
Our 12th grade IB student daughter has only had one one-on-one and one online lesson so far and we can say that Maria has gone above and beyond in providing reliable feedback on an IA in HL chem. We are going to continue throughout the pre-exams of IB and see how Maria can help IB revision in SL math, HL bio and perhaps HL physics. Very happy to have met Maria via this platform.
Maria is helping my twins with Physics and Chemistry- she is a good teacher!
Great help and the first class was very well explained. Your support will be very useful in these weeks.

Younes
give courses in languages and applied biochemistry
My 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.

Biology Classes for IB, IGCSE, MYP and university students
I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools helping them in subjects such as maths and biology. We always find the best suiting way to approach the subject together; I have indeed a few teaching methods that can be adapted to a kids' needs, I believe every kid needs a different method to fully understand the subject. I provide 2 types of lessons that represent 2 phases: 1. THEORY - Understanding the theory repeating together each unit. 2. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam. Dividing the process in 2 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.

Biology at all levels: Primary, Secondary, Baccalaureate and University
A graduate of the double degree in Biotechnology and Biochemistry, and with a Master's degree in Biomedicine, I offer private Biology classes for secondary school, high school, and university levels. I have a strong passion for teaching and especially enjoy teaching Biology, as it is one of my greatest passions. I have previous experience teaching students at different levels: from all subjects in the 2nd year of secondary school, through Mathematics in the 4th year of secondary school, to Biology in the 1st year of undergraduate studies. I like to adapt classes to each student's pace and learning style, as well as to the type of subject. I usually start by clarifying concepts the student hasn't understood, and in subsequent sessions, we dedicate time to reviewing and reinforcing what they've learned. I'm available to teach both online and in-person classes. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information!

Science is a way of understanding the world around us through observation, experimentation, and analysis of evidence.
"Science, as a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe, has profoundly transformed human society by providing the foundation for countless technological advancements, medical breakthroughs, and a deeper understanding of the natural world; from the microscopic structure of DNA that reveals the blueprint of life, to the vast complexities of astrophysics that explore the origins and fate of the cosmos, science continues to challenge our assumptions, push the boundaries of what we know, and inspire innovation across every field—education, industry, environment, and beyond—empowering humanity not only to survive but to thrive in an ever-changing world, while also encouraging critical thinking, curiosity, and a sense of wonder about the universe and our place within it."

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. --- CIE AS and A Level Biology (9700) At the AS/A Level, biochemistry is studied in depth. Key areas include: 1. Biological Molecules - Carbohydrates: Structure and function of monosaccharides, disaccharides (e.g., maltose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose). - 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. --- Summary - At the IGCSE level, biochemistry focuses on basic biomolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), enzymes, photosynthesis, and respiration. - At the AS/A Level, biochemistry delves deeper into molecular biology, enzyme kinetics, ATP production, protein synthesis, and metabolism.
