BIOLOGY

Asked by Audrey

What is the difference between natural variation and natural selection?

Variation is simply the differences between individuals of a species. E.g. we are all humans but there are variations which make us all different. Natural selection is the process by which the individuals best adapted to survive, breed and pass on their genes. Those not suited to an environment will eventually die out. Some variations may be advantageous therefore there may be more of those organisms around and therefore those will be most prevalent in that habitat. Some variations may be detrimental and cause those numbers to decline.

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
