Tom

Hi, I'm Tom. Having completed a BA in International Development at the UEA and written my dissertation on English language education in Japan, in 2016 I moved to a small town in the Japanese countryside. I taught in schools and community centres there for three years, before starting my own business teaching English privately from home. I came back to the UK to study for a PGCE at the UEA in 2021, and am now very happy to have the opportunity to meet so many fantastic students from all over the world here in Norwich. I am keen on a variety of sports - particularly football and distance running - and you will often find me at Parkrun on Saturday mornings. I also like to cook, bake bread and drink tea!
