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.
