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
I have two types of lesson
Private 1:1 tuition Individual help The work is based of the needs of the student. Lessons are face to face in our classroom or online from our TV Studios.
GCSE £50 and A level £60 per hour
Group Tuition £30 per session per week Up to 10 students discussing and learning with us and from each other. Each week a different topic is looked at covering the whole GCSE syllabus in a year.
Small group in classroom/laboratory teaching - from as little as £30 per student depending on the size of the group.
While many schools can't perform experiments online or in the classroom, we can, and it leads to better understanding. Our TV broadcast studio is equipped with studio lighting, multiple microphones, and up to 8 high-definition cameras to provide the best possible online learning environment. We have all the necessary experiments to aid learning and conduct lessons over YouTube and classroom sessions over Zoom from our multicamera TV Studios.
YouTube Channel
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.
