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.

Types of rocks 🎯 Lesson objectives: For the student to distinguish between the three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. For the student to link the type of rock to its source.
Who among you has visited a mountain or seen rocks of different colors and shapes? Why do you think the rocks are different? Let's find out together! 1. Igneous rocks: They are formed by volcanoes after magma (lava) cools. An example from the Saudi environment: the Harrat Rahat rocks south of Medina. Appearance: dark, hard, and perforated. 2. Sedimentary rocks: It is formed by the accumulation of layers of sand and clay over time. Local example: Rocks in the Great Nafud Desert. Its shape: clear layers, easy to crumble. 3. Metamorphic rocks: It is formed by the alteration of other rocks due to pressure and heat. Example: Metamorphic granite rocks in the Hejaz Mountains. Its shape: its colors are intertwined and strong.

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!
