Mr Russell is a really passionate and determined teacher. His passion for teaching has driven him to inspire and motivate others to push themselves to consistently acquire excellent grades. I always look forward to his class as he never fails to lighten the class’s mood with his energy and enthusiasm which makes his lesson really interesting and lively.
His understanding of the subject is also admirable and he has crafted many summaries and ‘cheat sheets’ to help us focus on what is essential, which helps to make us feel confident and secure when taking tests. The materials he has provided for my classmates and I are really helpful as it teaches us different ways and techniques to tackle different questions, be it essays, comprehension questions, or editing. This was extremely important for me because we tend to be learning without direction and without the necessary materials in school.
I would highly recommend Mr Russell as I’m sure the impact that his teaching has had on me will surely have an impact on others too. I am sure students will enjoy being in his class without having to think about needing to drag themselves to class. It’ll certainly be a pleasure for students to have Mr Russell by their side, constantly pushing them to succeed just as he was constantly there for me, pushing me even when I had no motivation to study before my O levels last year. He managed to push me, and I improved a lot, jumping from a C6 at prelims to a B3 for my GCE O Levels Examination despite only starting English tuition a few months before my GCE O Levels.
