Philip M Russell Ltd

Philip M Russell Ltd 1:1 Private Tuition in Maths & Science at GCSE & A Level, both online or from a dedicated Laboratory Philip M Russell Ltd, is a small private teaching company.

We specialise in 1:1 tuition both online using services like Zoom and Webex and in person in our dedicated Laboratory/classroom. We teach Mathematics from KS2 through GCSE to A Level where we teach Mathematics and Further Mathematics. In our Science Laboratory we teach Biology, Physics, Chemistry and General Science from GCSE to A Level. The Online teaching is done from our TV Studio. Private Tuit

ion only takes us some of our time , so when not teaching we create educational science videos which are used throughout the world in many schools. Philip M Russell Ltd is a proud sponsor of Going Green which is a weekly video and Podcast on Climate Change and mitigation.

It’s gift season — but not landfill season.

This week’s Going Green blog explores how to give meaningfully without harming the planet.
✅ Gifts that are handmade, ethical or digital
✅ Wrapping that doesn’t go straight to landfill
✅ How to gently shift others toward greener giving

Why Real Experiments Beat Simulations in Learning Science

At Philip M Russell Ltd, we’ve seen how practical lab work creates stronger understanding than simulations alone.
Real experiments engage multiple senses, develop critical thinking, and turn theory into experience.

Simulations teach the model; experiments teach reality.

Using PASCO Force Sensors to Study Impulse and Momentum

At Hemel Private Tuition, we use PASCO scientific force sensors to investigate impulse and momentum.

Students:

Record real-time force data during collisions

Calculate impulse as the area under a force-time graph

Verify the law of conservation of momentum

It’s a clear, data-driven way to connect physics theory to practical understanding.

You recycle, eat sustainably, and avoid fast fashion. But where’s your money sleeping at night?

Many UK banks continue to fund fossil fuels with customer deposits.

In this week’s Going Green blog:
✅ Tools to check if your bank funds oil or gas
✅ How to switch to an ethical bank
✅ What to say when you move your money
✅ Why your pension could be part of the problem

Making Your Own Infrared Thermometer for Experiments

At Philip M Russell Ltd, we’re developing a classroom infrared thermometer using an Arduino and a low-cost sensor. It’s a hands-on way to teach students about infrared radiation, temperature measurement, and coding — while keeping costs low and learning high.

Modelling Epidemics with Exponential Functions

At Hemel Private Tuition, we use epidemic modelling to show how exponential functions describe real-world change.

Students:

Model infection growth using exponential equations

Explore how rate changes affect outcomes

Compare exponential and logistic models

It’s a mathematical approach that links classroom equations to global understanding.

Busy schedule. Hungry teens. Plastic wrappers everywhere.

In this week’s Going Green blog, we tackle the challenge of quick, sustainable snacking:
✅ Homemade granola bars, muffins and trail mix
✅ Fresh fruit, veggie sticks and air-popped popcorn
✅ Packed in reusable containers — no plastic waste

Because snacks should fuel your day, not landfill.

Filming Fire and Ice – Making the Invisible Visible with Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging reveals the unseen world of heat transfer — from classroom experiments to real-world applications like engineering diagnostics and forensic tracking.

At Philip M Russell Ltd, we use thermal cameras to show how conduction, convection, and radiation work in real time, turning invisible energy into powerful visual teaching tools.

Investigating Resonance in Springs and Pendulums

At Hemel Private Tuition, we use resonance experiments to show how energy transfer depends on frequency.

Students:

Measure resonance in spring and pendulum systems using equipment like Lascells Bartons Pendulum as in the picture. We use this as it is very quick and easy to set up and works really well.

Predict natural frequencies using formulae

Relate findings to bridges, instruments, and engineering design

A clear, hands-on way to make oscillations and resonance unforgettable.

Tiller Tango – What I Learned About Balance While Steering in Gusts

Sailing in gusty conditions is a lesson in balance, anticipation, and teamwork. On the Thames, every gust is a new partner in a dance of control and timing.

The “Tiller Tango” reminds us that smooth steering and subtle balance create both speed and calm under pressure.

Investigating Leaf Pigments Using Chromatography

At Hemel Private Tuition, we use chromatography to separate and identify the pigments involved in photosynthesis.

Students extract pigments from leaves, observe chlorophylls and carotenes, and calculate Rf values to understand how plants capture light energy.

A simple experiment that turns a green leaf into a vivid lesson on photosynthesis.

What Philip M Russell Ltd does.

Philip M Russell Ltd, offer 1:1 private Tuition in Maths and Science at GCSE and A level. Plenty of lab equipment to carry out all the experiments required. Fully qualified experienced teachers. We start at KS2 and go through right up to A level.

Philip M Russell Ltd also makes Science documentary videos. It all started when a few students wanted some videos on this and that and now we have nearly 200 videos on the GCSE and A level science syllabuses.

In addition we use much of our video skills to help others. We use this video equipment to do live broadcasts of organ concerts and create videos for third parties who need a producer, director, director of photography, cameraman, sound recordist, editor or colourist. Our small team make cost effective videos for wedding, small companies and some larger institutions
