    About Me

    Hi! I am Julia.

    I’m a first-year Microbiology student at the University of Manchester, passionate about biology and also love diving into history and economics. I’m outgoing and enjoy working with kids, making learning fun and engaging. I’ve had plenty of experience helping classmates and younger students tackle tough problems. Plus, I’m bilingual, so I can teach in more than one language. Looking forward to helping you succeed!

    Education

    I completed my high school education with a strong focus on science and mathematics. I studied Mathematics, Biology, Further Mathematics, and Economics, achieving AABB in my final exams. During my IGCSE years, I developed a deep interest in biology and scored a 7 out of 9 in IGCSE Biology. My passion for the subject has only grown since then, leading me to pursue a degree in Microbiology at the University of Manchester, where I am currently in my first year. My academic background, combined with a keen interest in the biological sciences, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to excel in this field.

    Experience / Qualifications

    During high school, I actively participated in various competitions, gaining valuable experience beyond the classroom. One of my proudest achievements was winning a global silver medal in the British Biology Olympiad (BBO), which challenged me to deepen my understanding of biology and apply my knowledge in new and exciting ways. These competitions not only broadened my scientific perspective but also helped me develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The knowledge I gained from these experiences has been invaluable, providing me with a solid foundation that complements my formal education and continues to benefit me in my current studies.
    This course is designed to introduce students to the basics of the Chinese language, focusing on building a strong foundation in Mandarin. I will cover essential topics such as pronunciation, basic grammar, vocabulary, and simple sentence structures. The course includes interactive activities, fun stories, and cultural insights to make learning Mandarin both engaging and enjoyable. Whether your goal is to communicate in everyday situations or to explore Chinese culture, this class will provide the tools and confidence needed to begin your language journey. Suitable for beginners and younger learners ready to discover Mandarin!

    GED - The General Educational Development. The GED is an alternative to a high school diploma.
    The General Educational Development (GED) is a series of four tests that certifies a student's academic knowledge is equivalent to a high school diploma in the United States. The GED is an alternative to a high school diploma. It's a good option for students who haven't completed their secondary-level studies but want to access a U.S. university. Work with me in your GED journey. I have over 6 years of teaching experience with international students from the United States of America I give home works and assignments on a regular basis. Book a session with me in GED to get started. I interact with my students during lessons. After each lesson, i give students home works and assignment.

    Biology - GCSE, A level tutoring and primary school teaching
    **Class Description:** This tutoring service offers comprehensive support for GCSE and A-Level Biology students across all UK examination boards. Each session is specifically tailored to the individual learning needs of the student, focusing on both the academic requirements of their syllabus and their personal progress. As a fourth-year medical student, I bring a deeper understanding of biology through advanced studies and real-world applications, allowing me to provide insight into the subject beyond the curriculum. My teaching approach goes beyond simply preparing for exams; while exam-style questions will be regularly incorporated to ensure familiarity with the format and structure of assessments, the main focus will be on fostering a thorough and long-lasting understanding of biological concepts. Homework will be assigned after every lesson to reinforce the topics covered and ensure consistent progress. Additionally, exam-style questions will be systematically reviewed and analysed, equipping students with the confidence and exam techniques needed to excel in their qualifications. With this combination of tailored tutoring, practical insight, and academic support, students will be empowered to master their Biology studies and achieve their goals. I hold advanced DBS certification, have worked with children before and also work in psychology and paediatrics within the NHS.

    General definition of cell, cell structure, the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
    The cell, the fundamental unit of all living beings, is a complex structure composed of different elements working in harmony. The plasma membrane: the protective envelope The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that delimits the cell and separates it from its environment. It consists of a double layer of phospholipids, in which various proteins are integrated. These proteins play a crucial role in the transport of substances across the membrane, cell communication and cell recognition. The cytoplasm: the internal environment The cytoplasm is the aqueous medium inside the cell. It contains many organelles, inclusions, and the cytosol. The cytosol is the liquid part of the cytoplasm, rich in enzymes and molecules necessary for the chemical reactions of the cell. The Core: The Control Center The nucleus is a characteristic organelle of eukaryotic cells. It contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of DNA, organized into chromosomes. The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope pierced by nuclear pores that allow the exchange of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Organelles: specialized factories Organelles are specialized structures present in the cytoplasm. Each of them fulfills a specific function: Mitochondria: Nicknamed the "power plants" of the cell, they are the seat of cellular respiration, a process that produces the energy needed by the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum: A network of membranes involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. The Golgi apparatus: A set of flattened sacs that modify, package, and distribute proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes: Small vesicles containing digestive enzymes that break down unnecessary or damaged molecules. The cytoskeleton: the skeleton of the cell The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that gives the cell its shape, allows it to move, and organizes its organelles. It is made up of three types of filaments: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells There are two main types of cells: prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and eukaryotic cells (animals, plants, fungi). Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, are more complex and have a nucleus and many organelles.

    AQA A-level biology exam preparation and content tutoring sessions
    “Biology at A-level is nothing like GCSE” , believe me I know. I understand how overwhelming the jump from GCSE biology to A-level biology can be. As a first year university student who has completed my biology A-level in the summer, I’ve been through the challenges you’re all facing and I’m here to help you overcome them. In my tutoring sessions we will focus on: - mastering any topics from the AQA specification you guys are unsure about, breaking them down into easy to understand concepts and focusing on parts you need to know for your exam. - practice exam questions in every session with detailed feedback to sharpen your exam technique and to know what the examiners are looking for. -EFFECTIVE revision techniques which will help you retain any key bits of information. Each session will leave you confident in biology, ensure you build a strong understanding of the topic and feel prepared for your exams.

    Studying the biology of all living things and other components of biology
    Biology can be tricky as it contains lots of different components. This can be introduced slowly as I will provide support over lessons teaching you lots of information but a slow and steady pace giving you questions and answers along the way. Homework will also be provided this is to ensure that the lesson has stuck into your head and you have grasped it. If not there is no worries as things can take a while to learn but by the end you will feel a lot less stress about what you may be learning in biology. You may be finding one specific topic in biology hard and we can always go over that in the lesson or we can find stuff to look over in the lessons to keep your brains up to date for upcoming important exams.
