Introduction to Molecular Biology (University Level)

Molecular biology opens up a fascinating world of invisible processes that sustain all life on Earth. In this introductory class, we will explore the basic molecules that compose living organisms – cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins.

We will first examine cells, the fundamental units of life. Peer inside them with microscopes to understand their structure and function. Next, we will study DNA, the molecule that operates as an instruction manual containing all the information required to build an organism. We will learn how DNA replicates itself and gets passed to new cells during cell division.

From there, we will look at RNA, which translates genetic information from DNA and assists in assembling proteins. Proteins, in turn, carry out most of the work within cells and comprise much of your tissues and organs. We will see how changes in DNA can alter proteins and affect an organism’s traits.

This class will provide an overview of key concepts in molecular biology. You will get to explore the microscopic world that makes life possible! See how cells work and how DNA, RNA, and proteins interact in creative ways to produce the amazing diversity of living things – from simple bacteria to complex humans. It will be an illuminating journey!

Welcome to the fascinating world of molecular biology! In this introductory class, we'll explore the basic building blocks that make up living organisms - cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins. Get ready to zoom in deep to see these microscopic molecules up close. We'll start by looking at cells under a microscope. What do they look like? How do they function? Then we'll dive into the structure of DNA and how it acts like an instruction manual, containing all the information needed to build an organism. We'll learn how DNA is copied and passed on to new cells during cell division. Next up is RNA, which helps transmit genetic information from DNA and assists in building proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells and make up much of your hair, skin, muscles and organs. We'll see how mutations in DNA can lead to changes in proteins, affecting how an organism looks and functions. This introductory class will give you an overview of the fundamental concepts of molecular biology. Get ready to explore the nanoscale world that makes life possible! Discover how cells work and what DNA, RNA and proteins do to create the diversity of living things, from bacteria to blue whales. It will be a fascinating journey!

Biology and Chemistry: Secondary education - private lessons.
Need help with geography, biology or chemistry? 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 learning simple and complex material. The lessons run as follows. First, we look together 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 work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give 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 practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems. Are you interested? Don't hesitate to receive me! Please come! Timo

Miguel Angel
Biochemistry and Chemistry for Medicine, Nutrition, and other Health Sciences
Struggling to make sense of biochemistry? You're not alone – and there's a better way to learn. With over 10 years of teaching experience and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, I've seen how overwhelming biochemistry can feel. My sessions go beyond rotate memorization to give students a true understanding, rooted in practical applications and clinical cases. One of my recent students was a premed who initially found it impossible to connect pathways like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. But through our sessions, she began seeing the bigger picture, visualizing how each molecule and enzyme plays a role in health and disease. Whether it's understanding enzyme kinetics or complex metabolic processes, I combine deep knowledge from my own research in computational biology with a teaching approach that makes each concept clear and memorable. This isn't just tutoring; it's an opportunity to truly learn biochemistry. Ready to transform your understanding? Let's work together to make biochemistry not just manageable, but fascinating. I have a flexible schedule, book a first class to talk about what are you struggling with. I'll design personalized classes to help you improve your grades and understand even the most complex concepts of medical biochemistry. 📚 Ready? Book your class today.
