Experience the best teaching from a qualified and experienced teacher with top-notch facilities for 1:1 teaching in a classroom and laboratory. Our teaching aids include visualisers, smartboards, and all the experiments for GCSE and A Level to aid understanding. We take electronic notes for students and send them straight to their phones so they have PDF notes for each session. Additionally, we have a vast electronic resource of hundreds of exam papers, including many not normally available to students. We offer both in-person and online teaching options from our TV studio, making learning accessible and convenient for all.

Philip M Russell BSc. PGCE, MCCT, MInstP.
With over 40 years of teaching experience, I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Teacher. Throughout my career, I have taught in 11-18 schools, served as a Head of Department for over 50 staff, worked in FE colleges for 16 years, and been a University Lecturer at two Universities. Beyond teaching, I am also a Film Maker, Broadcaster, and Presenter. I run my own weekly Climate Podcast and host an extensive Science YouTube Channel. Despite my diverse interests, my passion remains rooted in science and education.
In my spare time I am learning to sail
Students like and students need face to face contact. They need someone with years of professional experience, to teach them in the best possible way to allow them to achieve their full potential. By doing experiments and carrying out investigations strong memory bonds are formed which helps boost the grades.

Many of us have a compartmentalised brain—Chemistry is Chemistry, and Maths is Maths. When students find an easy Maths problem in Chemistry, it is suddenly more difficult because they perceive it as the wrong subject.
Measuring the speed of Sound using a tuning fork and a tube, pulling out the slider until the loudest sound can be heard and measuring the distance from the tuning fork. This gives the wavelength. Repeat this several times to get a good average, and then work out how much of a wavelength the distance is calculated at the velocity of sound in air at this temperature.
The Mitochondrion is the site of respiration. Is this an ancient bacterium that invaded another in an example of symbiosis that created a new type of organism? DNA Evidence? Mitochondria self-replicate.
In Business depreciation refers to the gradual decrease in value of an asset over time due to factors like wear and tear or obsolescence, and it's a key accounting concept used to allocate the cost of an asset over its useful life.
Taking a hard disk to bits so that the students could see how a hard disk works.
Using displacement reactions, comparing the reactivities of three different metals with their sulfates—Copper, Iron, and Zinc—to find out which is the most reactive and which is the least.
Constant volume: Increasing the Temperature increases the pressure—Gay Lussac's Law. It is so much easier and more accurate to use a @pascoscientific wireless pressure sensor than a Bordon Gauge.
Many questions in Maths Papers look at the probability of selecting a card but many students don't play cards except perhaps on a computer games and don't know the names, values or suits.
The Laplace rail demonstration is a piece of scientific equipment used to demonstrate the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, illustrating the motor effect and fundamental electromagnetic principles.
Life is beginning in the pond and it is a good time to look at spirogyra and get the students to try and record what they actually see rather than what they think they see.
A-Level Psychology: We are what we eat. Does what our mother ate when pregnant affect what we like to eat and does letting kids have food rewards help them in the long term?
A Level Computing. Looking at different types of computers, including some analog computers. Unlike digital computers that use discrete data, they use continuously variable physical quantities, like voltage or mechanical motion, to model and solve problems.
A-Level Chemistry: What is the difference between a normal covalent bond and a dative covalent bond. Although the electrons are shown differently in a diagram, there is no difference between them in reality, and in reactions, any of the bonds might be broken.
Some of the regular jobs using the @pascoscientific sensors is the keep all the firmware up to date and charge or change the batteries so the sensors are ready for action.
Changing the probabilities: Instead of the usual 1/6, we looked at 3—to 9-sided dice to see how the probabilities changed. It was also interesting to see the shapes that these dice made.
Energy transfers using a steam engine. There is nothing like having a steam engine in the classroom. The interest level goes up and so does the enthusiasm to control the engine and make hammers work and polishers polish.
Investigating the effects of Mint and Garlic on the growth of bacteria. The results were not as good as we had hoped. With different concentrations only the most concentrated had any effect on the development of bacteria, suggesting that these bacterial agents are not that effective.
A-Level Sociology. Does Parliament reflect the social makeup of the population it represents in 2025? Book stats are out of date. There is a 60:40 split in men to women. Nearly 24% of MPs went to independent schools and 85% are University graduates. How do you feel about the social makeup?
What is the Blue Screen of Death? What does it mean, and how can we recover from it? A-level computing students find out how to fix the machine so it works again.
Three test tubes after a few weeks. The staple in water and air had all but rusted away, the one in air but no water was untouched, and the one with water and no air because of the oil had only a joint of rusting. The students had to explain why.
Using the magnets on two smartcarts to demonstrate elastic collisions. Using the @pascoscientific Capstone, the before and after graphs can quickly be compared to show the change in momentum and that it is conserved.
Practical Math. It is okay to do some Math problems, but sometimes it is nice to see and understand the Physics behind them. What is an elastic collision? Watching the Newtons cradle gave an idea about what the Mechanics problem was all about.
The Goldleaf electroscope is such a simple piece of equipment yet one of the most useful. I have tried this with Dutch metal but only with gold leaf does it work exceptionally well. With a decent UV light is demonstrates the photoelectric effect well.
Microbiology at A Level: Investigating the effect of Mint and garlic extracts on bacteria cultures. Which one is the most effective and why? Are there any other plant extracts that work like this? So, in addition, we are investigating some other herbs to see if they kill bacteria too.
Investigating the reactivity and properties of the Alkali Metals. Cutting each of the metals in turn with a sharp scalpel. Lithium was the hardest and stayed shiny the longest, and Potassium was the easiest to cut and tarnished as it was cut.
Using the @pascoscientific magnetic field probe along with the smartcart or a rotation sensor to get a reading of the magnetic field strength as the probe moves further into different magnetic fields
A level Business Studies - Globalisation The Earth is becoming smaller, and it is often cheaper to move manufacturing items around the world to be constructed than to do them in the same country. Maybe Trump will change the way the world works.
Exploring wave-particle duality with my A-level Physics students. Doing experiments demonstrating light behaving like a wave and also acting as particles – it hurts the brain how the universe plays by both rules!
