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.

Looking back, 2025 was a surprisingly strong year for sailing on the River Thames.
The season started early, delivered consistent opportunities to get afloat, and only in the final weeks did red boards finally bring things to a halt.
River sailing is never guaranteed, which makes a year like this all the more appreciated.
Here’s hoping 2026 brings another long, sailable season on the Thames.

The return of juvenile Atlantic salmon to rivers in north-west England is being hailed as a major environmental success. Cleaner water and habitat restoration clearly make a difference.
Yet the wider picture is deeply concerning. On Dorset’s River Frome, salmon parr numbers have fallen to record lows for a second consecutive year – just 3,226 fish against a long-term target of 10,000.
Local success cannot mask a continental-scale decline. Climate change, marine survival, and river pressures are catching up with us. This is a reminder that environmental recovery is possible – but fragile.

High-speed splash photography is a powerful reminder that technique matters more than specs.
By using ultra-short flash durations instead of fast shutter speeds, we can freeze motion measured in milliseconds—making it ideal for science education, creative media, and visual storytelling.
A perfect blend of physics, precision, and creativity.

Why does tacking matter so much in river racing?
Because rivers don’t behave like open water. The wind bends, the current moves beneath you, and the course twists constantly.
Successful river racers use frequent, well-timed tacks to:
Follow the shape of the river
Escape adverse current
Find pressure and avoid wind shadow
Turn decision-making into places gained
On a river, the shortest distance is rarely the fastest route. Smart tacking wins races.

Climate change is rewriting the rules of farming.
With warming above 1.5 °C, key crops like wheat may face insect damage rates approaching 46%. Rising temperatures accelerate pest life cycles, reduce winter die-off, and leave heat-stressed crops more vulnerable.
The response can’t simply be “more pesticide”. We need integrated pest management, resilient crop varieties, healthier ecosystems — and serious action on emissions.
Food security is becoming one of the clearest indicators of climate risk.

In educational video, on-screen text is part of the lesson.
Clear lower-thirds and well-timed annotations: • Reduce cognitive load • Improve retention • Help videos work on silent, mobile viewing
Good video graphics don’t show off – they quietly help learning happen.

Investigating Resistance in Wires – Length & Thickness Effects
A deceptively simple GCSE & A-level Physics practical that does a huge amount of heavy lifting:
✔ proportional reasoning
✔ graph skills
✔ uncertainty & evaluation
✔ linking theory to real measurements
Run properly, it transforms R=ρL/A from a formula into understanding.
At Hemel Private Tuition, we focus on precision, repetition, and why results aren’t perfect — exactly what examiners reward.

Rivers quietly expose the limits of boat-only handicaps.
On a twisting river, outcomes are shaped far more by decisions than design: timing a tack, reading a bend, escaping bad air. Personal handicaps reflect that reality — rewarding learning, consistency and good judgment.
Fairer racing. Closer fleets. Better sailing.

The UK Met Office forecasts that 2026 may rank among the hottest years ever recorded, with global temperatures projected to reach 1.34 °C–1.58 °C above pre-industrial levels.
This puts the internationally recognised 1.5 °C threshold firmly within reach — not as a distant future scenario, but as a near-term reality.
Climate action is no longer about preventing change, but about limiting harm. Every tenth of a degree matters.

Underscore That Breathes: Why Sidechain Ducking Matters in Educational Video
One of the fastest ways to lose students’ attention isn’t visuals — it’s audio fatigue.
In this post, I explain how sidechain ducking allows background music to dip naturally under speech, improving: • clarity • focus • long-form listening comfort
A subtle production technique that makes a real difference to learning.

Simulation models are powerful tools in Biology education, helping students visualise predator–prey dynamics, analyse data, and evaluate the limits of scientific models—key skills at GCSE and A-level. At Hemel Private Tuition, we offer a range of simulations covering many biological systems that cannot be studied experimentally. These simulations allow users to examine these systems and modify parameters to observe their effects. This is another thing that makes our tuition different and more effective.

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
