I am so super proud of all my A level Biology students. They have all worked so hard and been tenacious to the very end ! One more big lesson to go as we do a group walk through of paper 3 this evening followed by the last Biology A level exam tomorrow.
Good luck to all year 13 Biology students as you get to the end of your A levels this week. :)

Anyone aged 7-18 yrs can draw or paint your favourite animal, plant or fungi for our BioArtAttack 2D competition 🐯🌺🍄

The Nancy Rothwell Prize is a sub-category of this competition for specimen drawings.

Find out more, and submit by 30th June at rsb.org.uk/2Dbioartattack

GOOD LUCK to all students taking their GCSE Biology paper 1 tomorrow ☘️

Whether you’re doing triple or combined Science, Higher or Foundation we wish you the very best of luck in Biology and the rest of your GCSEs

Looking for extra help to increase your Biology A level grades ? We have a couple of spaces remaining in our Easter holiday group sessions.

The lessons are mostly skills based - exam techniques, core practical questions and statistics. All sessions are followed up by summary notes and model answers. Aimed at AQA students but several sessions also suitable for OCR and Edexcel courses.

Please get in touch if you're interested in one or more holiday sessions starting tomorrow.

The best kind of feedback 🙂
Hi Jacqui, I will be there for the group lesson. Thank you for your help. it's made a big difference. My biology tutor at college has noticed. I had an A in my last test on homeostasis and inheritance thank you.

For A level biologists busy revising DNA and chromosomes, this made me smile

An interesting look at canine stem cell therapy for potential veterinary students …

Stem Cell Clinic The RVC pioneered stem cell therapy for the treatment of equine tendon injuries and is now applying the same techniques to orthopaedic problems in dogs and cats.

Any Biology A level students out there looking for extra support in preparing for A level exams? As an AQA examiner I can help students spot clues in questions and to plan answers to gain more marks and thus higher grades.

Please get in touch to find out more about our regular revision group sessions.

‘The Chemistree of a Christmas tree’

Here’s our entry to the St John’s Christmas Tree festival open from 2nd to 23rd December. Big thank you to Amy Chestnutt for painting plant cells and organelles 🙂 The church looks stunning - definitely worth a visit …

We know it’s wet and windy out there but we still love the stunning array of autumn colours. This is a great summary of chlorophyll, carotenoids, xanthophylls and anthocyanin for biologists …

Lovely feedback from the mum of one of my Biology group students :)

Google review of One Stop Tutors by Mandy Wilson ★★★★★ "We had Biology support from Jacqui and it was the best decision ever! Our only regret is that we didn't get it sooner! Jacqui is amazing, she goes above and beyond to help. She provides both individual and group sessions alongside revision sessions in the holidays. She helped our da...

Sounds like an interesting discussion for A level biologists, potential medics, biochemists etc….

Great news to see the Nobel Prize being awarded for mRNA technology. A good tread for A level biologists …

Nobel Prize goes to scientists behind mRNA Covid vaccines Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman developed the technology which led to Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines.

Jacqui Cardani is a full time Biology tutor, specialising in A level tuition online or face to face lessons in Knaresborough and Harrogate. Lessons focus on understanding Biology content, practising Maths and problem-solving questions, revision skills, application questions and developing excellent exam techniques.

A lovely review from the parent of one of my A level students ...

Good luck to all my A level biologists as you get your results today!🤞🍀 🤞🍀

Back to work for me today ... :)

I am available for BIOLOGY A level lessons Mon - Weds for the rest of the summer holidays.

For year 13 students looking to recap year 12 content or work on exam techniques to increase their predicted grade or in preparation for the year ahead

For new year 12 Biology students looking to get ahead before the start of their A levels

A great summary of the scale of the human digestive system. AQA A level biologists will study digestion part way through year 12 …

The size of our human intestine :)

When food enters your body, it goes through the digestive system so that your body can absorb nutrients from the food. The digestive system begins with the mouth and is followed by the pharynx, the esophagus, and the intestine, which is divided into two major sections: the small intestine and the large intestine.

The small intestine is a long and narrow tube about 6 to 7 meters (20 to 23 feet) long. Food completes its chemical decomposition in which a compound is split into other compounds by reacting with water in the small intestine with the help of the liver, pancreas, and intestinal glands who pour their secretions into it.

In the small intestine, there are an enormous number of tiny projections called villi, which absorb the end products of digestion. Villi and folds in the walls of the small intestine cover the lining and greatly increases the surface for absorption, which contributes to the length of the small intestine. The human small intestine has a surface area about ten times greater than the skin surface.

The large intestine is wide in diameters but shorter than the small intestine. It is only about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long. There is no decomposition of food in the large intestine. Bacteria in the large intestine break down any quantity of proteins that have not been completely digested.

The large intestine is mostly used to store f***s or waste, which consists of 10 to 50 percent of bacteria, undigested cellulose of plant cell walls, minerals, and water. This is then eliminated through the a**s.

Therefore, the length of the entire human intestine can range from 7.5 to 8.5 meters (25 to 28 feet).

Good luck to all my lovely A level Biology students as they complete paper 3 this morning! It has seemed like a marathon this year but I can’t fault the effort and determination 👏💪👏

Hoping that the essay options are good and all students can give this exam their best shot before heading off to enjoy the rest of the summer.
Look forward to hearing from you all in August 🙂

Wishing all my A level Biology students a calm, productive afternoon as they tackle paper 1 Biology in a methodical, scientific way - here's hoping anyway!!

Super proud of the determined effort to get to this stage by all students and a special shout out to those resitting Biology A level! You have all done the hard part, let's do this :)

What an amazing opportunity to practice using biology sampling techniques in South Africa. Well done all involved and to Everything is Possible for providing such opportunities to students …
