Private tutoring in Biochemistry and life sciences in Somerset West, Cape Town

I offer tutoring lessons in Life Sciences and Biochemistry to high school and university students of all ages.

The student’s level of understanding will first be evaluated before starting the tutoring lessons. Once the needs are identified, the lessons will be carefully planned to address the lack to bring the student up to date with his/her class.

The materials for tutoring are provided by the student, according to his/her study sources and class notes for the module.

My tutoring method is very interactive in order to captivate the student’s attention and to keep him/her motivated and alert to tackle exams optimistically.

biochemistry, biogenesis, chemical synthesis and natural substances
My classes take place in a good atmosphere of communication to know how to share, if you are looking to know the right research methodology, I am your good choice, my passion for my field allows me to share your my expertise with my students. I give lessons in organic chemistry and general chemistry for all school levels at home and online CVs, courses and exercises are available, I can be reached immediately, do not hesitate to contact me if you want to improve your level in science (math, physics, general chemistry and organic chemistry in particular) I use several strategies and pedagogies (differentials, projects, group games, etc.) according to the needs of my students. I also use the links between science and our daily lives to attract and adore learning in my little angels. .

Science, Chemistry, English, Biology Test preparation lessons in line with school curricula
I'm a pharmacist, graduated from Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, and hold a Master's degree in Analytical Chemistry. My goal is for students to understand important scientific subjects such as biology and chemistry without fatigue and to enjoy studying them. I give homework and submit periodic reports on the student's progress in their studies.

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. --- 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.

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.
