Biology is a very beautiful science but very wide with material.
Through the course I aim for students to learn in a concise way through notes and also I have designed lectures accompanied by exercises for each type of topic that students need as well as illustrative videos to facilitate memorization of the material.
Lectures are accompanied by graphic schemes.

In the IGCSE and CIE (Cambridge International Education)curricula, Genetics is a part of Biology under the broader topics of inheritance and variation. It is covered in both IGCSE Biologyand AS/A Level Biology. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect in each:

IGCSE Biology (Cambridge - 0610/0970)
The topic of genetics is introduced under the following key areas:

1. Variation and Inheritance
- Genetic variation: Understanding differences caused by genetic and environmental factors.
- Inheritance:
- Definition of key terms: genes, alleles, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype.
- Monohybrid inheritance (using Punnett squares to predict offspring ratios).
- Concepts of dominant and recessive traits.
- Structure of DNA:
- Basic structure of DNA (double helix) and its role in carrying genetic information.
- Mutations:
- Causes (e.g., radiation, chemicals) and effects of mutations on organisms.

2. Selective Breeding and Genetic Engineering (basic concepts):
- Selective breeding in animals and plants to produce desired traits.
- Introduction to genetic modification (GM), though details are limited in IGCSE.

---

CIE AS and A Level Biology (9700)
At the A Level, genetics is covered in greater depth. Key concepts include:

1. DNA and Protein Synthesis:
- Structure of DNA, RNA, and nucleotides.
- Transcription, translation, and protein synthesis.
- Genetic code and its universal nature.

2. Cell Division:
- Mitosis and meiosis.
- Significance of meiosis in genetic variation (crossing over, independent assortment).

3. Inheritance:
- Mendelian genetics: monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.
- Codominance and multiple alleles.
- Sex-linked inheritance (e.g., haemophilia, color blindness).
- Pedigree analysis.

4. Gene Technology:
- Recombinant DNA technology (genetic modification and cloning).
- Applications of genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture.

5. Mutations:
- Gene mutations and their effects.
- Chromosomal abnormalities.

6. Variation and Selection:
- Natural selection and evolution.
- Role of genetic variation in populations.

---
Summary
- At the IGCSE level, genetics focuses on basic concepts of inheritance, variation, DNA structure, and simple Punnett square problems.
- At the AS/A Level, the depth increases significantly, introducing advanced topics like meiosis, protein synthesis, genetic engineering, and natural selection.

I am a physician with strong academic and clinical expertise in **general medicine, surgery, emergency medicine**, and medical examination preparation. I am also a **holder of Molecular Medicine**, with advanced academic strength in foundational biomedical sciences, including **biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, enzymology, physiology, and genetics**. This background allows me to teach medicine from a deep mechanistic perspective, linking molecular pathways directly to clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management.

My teaching focuses on transforming complex medical topics into structured, high-yield frameworks that students can confidently apply during clinical rotations and licensing examinations.

My approach is systematic, analytical, and evidence-based. I emphasize:

* Understanding disease from the molecular and cellular level upward
* Integration of biochemistry, physiology, and genetics into clinical reasoning
* Stepwise construction of differential diagnoses
* Precise interpretation of laboratory and imaging findings
* Evidence-based management strategies aligned with international standards
* Recognition of high-yield patterns frequently tested in licensing examinations

I am particularly experienced in teaching integrated clinical medicine alongside foundational sciences, ensuring that students do not memorize isolated facts but instead develop structured medical thinking.

Students working with me will gain:

* Strong clinical reasoning and analytical skills
* Deep conceptual mastery of molecular and physiological mechanisms
* Confidence in approaching complex case-based questions
* Efficient examination strategies and time management skills
* A structured framework for rapid revision and long-term retention

I maintain high academic standards and expect discipline, intellectual engagement, and commitment from my students. My goal is not only to help you succeed in examinations, but to elevate your level of scientific understanding and clinical competence.

If you are serious about mastering medicine from its molecular foundations to its clinical applications, I will provide structured, rigorous, and high-level teaching to support your success.
