This class brings together biology and chemistry concepts in a creative way, allowing learners to visualise the basic building blocks of all living things on Earth. Each week, colouring pages will be uploaded to the classroom for students to print or copy. The main class activity will revolve around colouring and labelling these, following the instructional videos provided. The aim is to add details to the diagrams and create an accurate, informative, and creative resource that students can keep and use for their further biology study/revision! The class video will use a shared screen copy of the learners' diagrams, to show how to correctly label them as well as to explain in more detail the biochemistry concepts. Each weekly video will demonstrate the parts of the molecules, as well as discuss the types of bonding between the atoms and between different molecules. Students will be able to present their work by uploading their finished diagrams to the classroom, to get feedback from the teacher and other class members. Learners will also be asked to share pictures or descriptions of relevant activities (for example, other drawings or models relating to the week's topic). Students may also ask questions in the classroom or by messaging the teacher individually. All materials will be posted on the first day of each week (this is usually Monday), but students are welcome to work through the materials and interact at any time during the week. No biochemistry experience or knowledge is needed to join this class, but learners should have a basic understanding of atoms and elements. The topics covered will be: Week 1: Carbohydrates The structure of carbohydrates, including glucose molecules Condensation reactions and hydrolysis Week 2: Proteins Amino acids and peptide bonds Primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary structure of proteins, including haemoglobin Week 3: Lipids Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids Hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of lipid molecules, including application to the cell membrane Week 4: Nucleic acids Nucleotide bases in DNA and RNA ATP and energy Week 5: Neurotransmitters The structure and function of various chemical messengers that impact the nervous system

ABOUT ME
I love to learn, and I am a big advocate of following your interests - even if they might not seem compatible at first glance!
My teaching philosophy is to encourage intellectual curiosity, motivation, and aspiration in students, whatever their current stage of education.
I teach a range of subject areas, including Psychology, Biology, Music Theory, and Maths. I'm developing new ideas all the time, so please feel welcome to get in touch if there's something you'd like to see! I can also create custom sessions - so if there's something you're looking for and can't find, please just ask!
GENERAL TEACHING APPROACH
My teaching style differs depending on different topics/activities, but my general approach is to welcome students into an environment where they can engage at a level where they feel comfortable, whilst also having opportunities to reach further and learn new things. I believe that learning is forever, and that learning should never be constrained by just one syllabus/curriculum. Students tend to learn best when they are really interested in the subject, and I love to be able to give students the chance to explore their interests!
I encourage students to tell me what they already know about a topic, and I don't assume that I'm always the expert! I believe that learners can learn from each other's experiences and knowledge too. I also encourage everyone to ask 'why' things work as they do, and to research further around topics that capture their interest.
I don't use AI tools to provide feedback to learners as I believe that feedback should be provided that is genuine and written in my own voice.
I also believe that everyone should be able to participate in my classes, so if there may be barriers or you require adjustments to allow you to participate in a class, please feel welcome to get in touch.
Aside from initial verification when joining the session, I do not require students to use their camera for the full session (though sometimes I will request for certain activities!). I ask students to participate, but accept that this may be verbal discussion, writing in the chat box, or using zoom 'reactions' or visual cues on camera to respond during class. In general, I will invite anyone who would like to get involved to raise their hand, rather than putting an individual 'on the spot'.
MY CLASSES - OVERVIEW
I offer a range of sessions on Psychology topics - including themes such as Introduction to Neuroscience/Neuropsychology, Psychology of Music, Brain History, and Psychology of Gaming. The aim of these sessions is to capture students' interest, share knowledge from an unusual angle, and/or give space for students to discuss their interests while bringing in elements of the science of Psychology in an accessible way.
The most popular courses in 2023 were my ongoing sessions where students can further their learning in a relaxed setting, such as my Biology, Animal Anatomy, Plants, and Neuroscience colouring classes (where students can listen whilst making creative learning resources, with little pressure to answer questions and no pressure to be tested).
I offer lots of Flexible Schedule classes suitable for learners who prefer to take time to process information or to dig into a topic more deeply before coming back to discussion or to complete assignments. These classes allow students to take time to engage with material and written discussion threads outside of the constraints of a live session schedule, and spend additional time completing assignments that will encourage deeper thinking and topic enjoyment. These classes can also be great as holiday-projects!
I offer individual tutoring for students who would like to explore additional topics in Psychology, Biology, Mathematics, or Music. These sessions can be used to supplement other classes, as an individualised study session/program, or as subject-related mentoring.
For all my classes, if you don't see a suitable section scheduled, please do reach out as I can often fit in additional meetings!
WHAT ELSE DO I GET UP TO?
As well as teaching online on Outschool and independently, I also work as an Associate Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University. When I'm not teaching, I can usually be found practicing the violin, playing in orchestra, reading, and learning new things.
I previously completed a PhD in Psychology/Cognitive Neuroscience, which involved using EEG (an electrical brain recording method) to investigate visual perception. I have taught high school and university level Psychology classes since 2014, and I have tutored in Biology, Maths, and Music Theory since 2018. I started to learn the violin as an adult and progressed through to ABRSM Grade 8 in violin and AMusTCL Diploma level in music theory!
