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 Zoom from our multicamera TV Studio.
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.

Lenz's Law application - making an electromagnetic brake using a strong magnet and non-magnetic Aluminium
How do analog computers compare to digital ones? Can students easily program them and get anything useful out? These computers are on the rise and need to be with with our array of Macs, Windows, and Unix machines and the data gathering Physics sensors and phones.
With exams done for the year and internal exams over now is the time to create a stock of more maths questions in similar styles and levels of difficulty as the exam questions for the students to practice on, once they have done all the book questions
One of the easiest ways of extracting small amounts of ore - powdered rock on a stick. Works well with Malachite and Iron ore haematite. Copper sometimes get small balls 0.5mm and the iron get good iron filings
Sometimes there is no other way of explaining science than to use a simulation. Here I am using counters in make believe cells to show how infection can move through a population like the plague or Covid. The model also shows how herd immunity works. #iteachbiology
One of the best hybrid sensors I have come across the @Pascoscientific Code.Node is great for learning programming, can the programmed to do all types of things that ordinary sensors can't but programmed by me for science lesson can be invaluable.
Playing with magnets. It doesn’t seem to matter the age, the students love playing with magnets.
Repeating the rates experiment but this time using a gas syringe, so that the students can get experience of doing the same experiment in different ways and comparing them.
Investigating Prisms, rainbows, diffraction gratings, electromagnetic spectra and spectrometers. Mixing up the syllabus to make other connections. #iteachphysics
