Callum Russell

My name is Callum Russell, a former Chemical Engineering, Project Management, and Mathematics Assistant Professor in the U.K. I have an extensive teaching portfolio across all levels of mathematics at high school and undergraduate. My experience of teaching mathematics spans over a decade having been a private tutor and Assistant Professor teaching in the U.K. and China. My primary degree is in Chemical Engineering, spanning my undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD.

I have an extensive proven track record in teaching throughout my career, having successfully taught 360 students privately and over 3,500 students collectively at my institution. I currently hold an Associate Fellowship with AdvancedHE, an Associate Membership with the IChemE, and have an up-to-date PVG certificate.

By learning you will teach; by teaching you will learn” – Latin proverb.

My teaching philosophy is predicated on a student-centred approach with a collaborative construct. I use a wide range of teaching methods tailored to every student's requirements. I place a particular focus on developing a strong foundation on the conceptualisation of maths, as this makes learning and understanding more efficient. A phase I developed is that... "If you learn it, you don't have to remember it". Emphasising understanding rather than memorising has been at the core of my students' success over the past decade!

Having been a public and motivational speaker for many years, I believe providing students exposure to oral presentations is essential for learning and development. Having hosted many extracurricular events on public speaking and how to communicate effectively; I have been influential within my department in implementing continuous assessments with a high degree of oral presentations to enable students to gain the confidence and skills that are critical for communicating effectively when working in industry.
