What is meant by the term ‘differentiation’?

Cellular differentiation is the process by which a cell becomes specialised in order to perform a specific function. This can occur in the human body as in the case of a liver cell a blood cell or a neuron. Most types of animal cells differentiate at an early stage. They become specialised for a particular function and cannot change into different types of cells. In mature animals, cell division is mainly restricted to replacement and repair. On the other hand, many plant cells keep the ability to differentiate. A stem cell is an undifferentiated type of cell which can be induced to become many other specialised cells.

Study smarter, learn faster without working harder

I spent a lot of my class time in secondary school being bored and restless. I was NOT a model student. Sitting in a class was always so boring to me. Then I discovered fun ways of making the lessons interesting when I attended the Mind Olympics in Earls Court. The 'mind athletes' at this event learned how to use their brains like a musical instrument. Learning and memorising facts easily like picking up feathers. Ever since that time I have been learning many subjects and showing other students how to enjoy their subjects while find better ways to get the results they want.

"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail"

I studied at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire. Here I spent 5 years as a Maths Tutor to my peers and those younger than me. Since then I have privately tutor a variety of subjects from Maths, English, Science, Economics, and much more. This experience has made me adept at interacting with and communicating clearly to those whom I teach. I have experience with AQA, Edexcel, iGCSE and OCR examination boards. I have recently received my MSc in Mental Health & Law from King’s College London (Pass with Merit); and before this a First Class Honours in Philosophy BA. I know exactly what it takes to get a head start in the subjects I tutor. In addition, I have experience teaching children with SEN. GCSE results: -4 a*s -7 a's A-Level results: -Economics-A -Government and Politics-A -Math-A
