Head of Science · Nottingham British School, Kuwait
Mr. Hosni Showike
I have taught Cambridge IGCSE and Edexcel IAL Biology and Chemistry for 21 years , written eight science textbooks, and now teach students in more than 40 countries through Chem Bio. Every note, solved paper and lesson on this site is written by me.

Sixty seconds on who I am and how I teach.
How I got here
From a biochemistry lab in Brussels to a science department in Kuwait — and eight books along the way.
Two master's degrees, University of Brussels
Biochemistry and Biotechnology. I still teach from the lab bench outwards: what a molecule does before what the mark scheme says about it.
International teaching certificate, USA
[[TEACHING_CERT_NAME]] — the formal training behind the way I plan lessons, set questions and give feedback.
21 years teaching IGCSE and A-level in Kuwait
Head of Science at Nottingham British School since [[SCHOOL_START_YEAR]]. Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610/0970 and Chemistry 0620/0971; Edexcel IAL Biology WBI11–WBI16 and Chemistry WCH11–WCH16.
Eight textbooks, 20,000+ copies

Recorded courses, live classes and solved papers online
Chem Bio began as a place to put my notes. It is now full recorded courses, live Zoom classes, thousands of solved past-paper questions and a YouTube channel — with WhatsApp support from me, not a help desk.
How I teach
Students who enjoy a subject score higher in it. That is not a slogan; it is why the lessons look the way they do.
What you get in every lesson
- The whole specification point, not the easy half
- Answers built in mark-scheme words, so you write what gets ticked
- Real past-paper questions solved on screen, marks shown
- Examiner-report mistakes pointed out before you make them
What I will not do
- Read slides at you
- Hand you a bare mark scheme and call it a model answer
- Leave a WhatsApp question unanswered
- Promise a grade — I promise the preparation
What my students scored
