I don't think the use of "already" is alright in this sentence. I would probably say: My maths teacher has given me so much homework to do, bad news is( or what's more} my Chemistry teacher also gave me more today. That was what I thought .

Thank you for replying. I have one more question. I see your statement include the word " gave " . Is it because of the mentioned time "today"?

You're welcome Jon. To tell you the truth I really doubt about the tenses that you used and I used:D you need to ask one of the native speakers and please let me know too

I guess in the first sentence we use present perfect, because the focus of the speaker in on the result of the action, and the second should be simple past because you are talking about a specific time in the past. I hope what I believe is correct.
