Lessons in Person in our purpose built classroom or on-line using Webex or Zoom.
We use Zoom or or the more secure Webex as the best way to offer more facilities and a better learning experience. We are also live using a Live Broadcast studio using TV Broadcast equipment, not a webcam so that my hands become your hands and the cameras your eyes. Its like being there.
I have in my home classroom/laboratory, all the experiments that are done at GCSE and at A Level, not just the required practicals, but practical experiments for all the learning situations, to help you learn effectively.
A Level Maths is quite a challenge and sometimes you need just a little help with understanding something, or a particular question is causing some problem. This is a drop in Maths clinic where you can work on your problems with other students or ask an expert for help. The session is for up to 2 hrs for just £10.
Philip M Russell BSc. PGCE, MCCT, MInstP.
I am a Qualified and Experienced Chartered Teacher and have over 40 years of Teaching experience. I have taught in 11-18 schools; Been a Head of Department; Worked in a FE College for 16 years, been a University Lecturer at two Universities.
I am a Film Maker, Broadcaster and Presenter, running my own weekly Climate Podcast and hosting an extensive Science YouTube Channel. But formost I am a Scientist and Educator.
I have three types of lesson
1:1 tuition You and Me as Face to face as we can get. Multiple cameras , visualisers, graphics tablets, screen casio calculators the same as you use, experiments galore, so you can see whats going on.
Pre recorded videos on how to do things - mostly practical based on YouTube with free access, written and produced by me, going through all the syllabuses.
LIve ( or recorded live) lessons on a different topic of the the syllabus. In each hour session , I cover a topic per session, using Power point slides, video, and interactive work. Each session comes with work for you to do and learn. I record each session, so if you miss one you can catch up. Available free on YouTube
Although most schools can't do experiments online, we can and by doing understanding happens.
We are equipped with a TV broadcast studio, with studio lighting, multiple microphones and up to 5 High Definition cameras to give the best possible online learning environment. We have all the experiments which can be demonstrated at this time, to aid the learning. We also run lessons over YouTube and classroom sessions over the business industry standard CISCO Webex or Zoom.
Students like and students need face to face contact. They need someone with years of professional expirence, 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.

Using the @Pascoscientific smartcart with the Vector display is a good introduction to what is going on. Immediately the vector quantity can be seen on a qualitative experiment before burrowing down into the actual numbers and working out the equations.
Taking a close look at DNA. The backbone and the way it is shaped related to how it functions. Then looking and modelling some histones to block the gene sites.
Using the molymod models to figure out how protein synthesis works. Gave the Students all the bits and got them to work out how it works. Took a while but the achievement was great and the understanding was there. Figured out I need a much bigger model.
@snatoms are very quick to use with revision, quickly making up molecules of Carbon dioxide to demonstrate double bonds and single bonds making up ethanol
I would choose one of these in a heartbeat - the stethoscope - measuring the students heartbeat. and mine proving that I was alive and not was some of the students thought part of the living dead. Also used the electronic one so the students could hear what they were supposed to
