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.

Why do we revise, persist, or give up?
A-Level Psychology motivation explains it all – from intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation to Maslow and Self-Determination Theory.
Understanding motivation helps students learn smarter, not harder.

How does data actually move across the internet?
At A-Level Computing, students learn that information isn’t sent in one piece—but as packets routed across global networks using strict protocols.
Once you see it, the internet makes perfect sense. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2026/01/a-level-computing-networking-basics-how.html
In my physics lab, students don’t just use equipment—they choose it.
Ultrasonic motion sensor or Smart Cart?
Both measure motion, but only one is right for collisions and dynamics.
Good experiments start with good decisions.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2026/01/choosing-appropriate-sensor-and.html
Matrices aren’t just abstract maths — they’re a powerful way to move shapes with precision.
Rotations, reflections and enlargements all become simple calculations once you know the matrices. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2026/01/using-matrices-to-solve-transformation.html
Gravitational fields can feel very abstract at A-Level Physics
Simulations let students change mass, distance and instantly see field strength, graphs and inverse-square laws in action.
Linking models to experiments makes gravity finally click.

GCSE & A-Level Biology
How does the body keep blood glucose stable? Insulin lowers glucose
Glucagon raises glucose
Controlled by negative feedback
A core homeostasis topic – and a favourite in exams.

Education matters — but meritocracy doesn’t erase class. Material resources, cultural capital & teacher expectations still shape life chances. Schools can narrow gaps, but broader social change is needed for true mobility. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2026/01/education-and-social-mobility-can.html
GCSE Computer Science: Computer Architecture
CPU, memory, buses & the fetch–decode–execute cycle explained clearly.
Once students see how data moves, it all clicks.

Gravity filtration too slow for lessons?
Vacuum filtration with a Büchner funnel turns a 15-minute wait into seconds — cleaner solids, better yields, and time left to think about the results.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2026/01/improving-filtration-rates-with-vacuum.html
Battery or electrolysis?
Same kit. Same chemicals. Totally different physics. Battery = chemistry → electricity
Electrolysis = electricity → chemistry
If unplugging stops it, it isn’t a battery. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2026/01/battery-or-electrolysis-same-equipment.html
A-Level Maths isn’t just algebra — it models the real world.
Growth & decay all come from one idea:
Rate ∝ amount present
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/a-level-maths-modelling-growth-and-decay.html
Investigating Resistance in Wires
Why does a longer wire have more resistance?
Why does thickness matter so much?
This classic GCSE & A-level practical brings equations to life — and shows where real experimental errors creep in.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/investigating-resistance-in-wires.html
Predator–prey relationships explained!
Simulation models reveal population cycles, time lags & ecosystem balance — perfect for GCSE & A-Level Biology revision https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/investigating-predatorprey.html
VR isn’t plug-and-play. It’s plug, update drivers, check ports, reboot, and still troubleshoot.
Minimum specs are mandatory—and even then, getting it all working is an art.
Perfect lesson material.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/plug-and-play-not-quite.html
Statistics now shape how sport is played, not just how it’s reported.
From goals-per-game to heat maps and xG, analysing player performance is real-world maths at work. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/investigating-terminal-velocity-two.html
Same mass. Different shapes.
Different terminal velocities.
A 2 m water tube and a @pascoscientific rotation sensor make drag visible — then two umbrellas finish the argument. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/investigating-terminal-velocity-two.html
How do we really understand genetic inheritance?
By studying model organisms.

Psychology A Level tip 🧠
Rereading ≠ remembering.
Memory improves when you practise retrieval, not recognition.
Test yourself. Space it out. Repeat. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/psychology-level-memory-and-learning.html
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence – Training a Simple Model AI isn’t magic. It’s data, predictions, errors, and improvement. By training a simple model, students can see how maths and logic power modern AI—from graphs to feedback loops.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/introduction-to-artificial-intelligence.html
Young’s modulus doesn’t have to be painful.
Using @Lascells Strip & Wire Testing Clamps with plastic carrier bags makes elastic behaviour, limits of proportionality, and tensile strength visible.
Cheaper, safer, clearer — and better physics. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/making-youngs-modulus-actually-teachable.html
Complex numbers aren’t just imaginary.
From Argand diagrams to waves, circuits, and rotations, students see how a+bi solves real problems that real numbers cannot.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/complex-numbers-from-argand-diagrams-to.html
You don’t need uranium to teach nuclear physics.
Use coins or dice to model radioactive decay — and measure half-life with just a graph and some stats.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/measuring-half-life-with-simulated.html
Natural selection made visible.
Students model evolution using peppered moths to see how environmental change drives survival, reproduction, and shifts in populations. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/natural-selection-in-action-modelling.html
Augmented Reality isn’t just for big tech.
Students can learn AR at A Level using Python, Unity, or simple web-based tools — building interactive models and apps that blend code with creativity.
https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/is-it-possible-to-teach-and-develop.html
Flame tests aren’t limited to a nichrome wire. Students explore splints, cotton buds, blue filters and more to identify metal ions by colour — a clear, visual GCSE Chemistry practical. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/testing-unknown-ions-with-flame-tests.html
