Daniel Russell

Daniel joined the OU as a Student Experience Manager in February 2021. After completing his first degree and spending seven years working in academic publishing, Daniel had a career change to become a teacher. Coupling his love for travel and his interest in Eastern Europe, he moved to Poland and completed a Cambridge University CELTA in Kraków before settling in Warsaw for 10 years. During this time, he primarily worked with companies teaching business English but also with academic publishers as a writer, copyeditor and voice-over artist, providing and recording dialogue and text for school publications. In 2015 he returned to the UK and studied for his PGDipEd and MA (Teaching in Lifelong Learning) at the University of Huddersfield. Alongside his studies, he taught international students English skills for university study and latterly worked in FE with ESOL students. Before joining the OU, Daniel taught at Coventry University for three years working with widening participation students helping to develop their academic skills and supporting their research projects. Daniel is excited to be working on Student Hub Live events and having the opportunity to engage directly with students and tutors.
