Macro To Create And Compile Information

Currently where I work we print out registers to keep track of student attendances. This is done by merging an excel document that contains all the details of the names, days, dates , times, student groups and rooms of each lesson (each row contains the details for one lesson) with a word document containing the appropriate list of students in each specific group along with blank mail merge fields that relate to the excel document.

There are often 100 lessons a week meaning it takes an age to merge all the documents to create the registers.

Instead of this method I'd like the tutor to print off their own register by opening the excel document and clicking a button at the end of the appropriate row that contains the details for the lesson they are teaching. This would then take the details from that row and generate the appropriate register on another worksheet. Importantly it would have to list the correct group of students for each lesson - the names of these groups would be listed on other sheets.

Im guessing macros would be the right way to do this, but I have no real knowledge of them so alternatives would be helpful. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've included a sample of how it would look with just one lesson in the excel doc.
