My name is Tom.

I grew up in Southampton and moved to West London as a teenager.

I studied at Loughborough University and was an English teacher in private language schools for 5 years teaching EFL/ESOL in the UK, Greece, Spain and Colombia.

I moved to secondary education in 2021 and have since been working in a public coeducational school in West London for 4 years as a classroom teacher of Visual Arts, Design and Technology and Media Studies and Head of Year 12.
