Biology Basics

The Fundamental Basics to understanding Biology. We highly recommend this is the first tutorial that all students watch.

This video contains a general overview of photosynthesis, cellular respiration and the ATP system. It is an essential introduction for all students beginning their study of Biology. Includes definitions of exo and endothermic reactions, catabolic and anabolic, hydrolysis and condensation reactions.

Clare studied at The University of Melbourne in Australia and then went on to teach senior Biology classes in secondary schools for ten years.

During this time she became increasingly frustrated with the constant battle to cover large amounts of content in a very short space of time. Students need more then one opportunity to listen to, experiment with and understand important concepts, yet it only ever felt like there was time to briefly mention them and then leave the student to study them alone. If students were absent either in mind or body on a particular day, they would miss crucial information which would then lead to large gaps in their knowledge and understanding. This often left them feeling overwhelmed and lacking in confidence and in the worst cases, they gave up trying...

Clare began privately tutoring a handful of students in 2010. She soon found herself inundated with enquiries and a heavily booked schedule. Her method was to use large scale, simple, colorful and concise drawings that enabled her students to see how concepts fit together and create visual memory clues when they were trying to recall information. These techniques were proving to be incredibly effective and coupled with her entertaining, plain language explanations, Clare's students improved their results substantially.
However, there are only so many times in one night you can explain the 3 stages of Cellular Respiration (often up to 8 times!) Clare soon found herself, exhausted and frustrated as more enquiries came in and she simply didnt have the time to accommodate any more students.
But then she had an idea.... What if she could film her explanations of all the key concepts and put them online for all Biology students to access at a much cheaper price then a private tutoring session?
And with that... Simply Biology was born!!
