Hi! I'm Tom: * a post-BA-diagnosed dyslexic* former secondary education English teacher; 5x English faculty leader; school senior leader and nationwide advisor [SLE] for English teaching, learning, experience and outcomes* Great British Entrepreneur of The Year Finalist, 2023 [Technology]* Proud Founder/CEO of EdenFiftyOne: award-winning edtech for English skills education* Lover of walking, talking, breaking and making* Let's inspire young people to explore, understand, own and enjoy the infinite possibilities of the instrument, rather than forcing and rewarding them to rehearse and regurgitate single songs.***"Tom sees English in a unique way. His greatest skill is his ability to demystify the teaching and learning of English. A totally outstanding and inspirational teacher... A successful, visionary leader."James Kerfoot, Head Teacher, Cheshire, UK* * * "We achieved our best-ever GCSE English results. Utilizing EdenFiftyOne undoubtedly helped students to make significant progress, and as such, it played a crucial role in the record-breaking success of our English department."***"It's fantastic to listen to someone who so clearly understands the issues involved...I'm emotional just listening to this. This is what we've been trying to do for years but this will make it work. I can see immediately how this will help us"***"We have integrated 12 of the EFO skills as the basis for our GCSE intervention strategy. A truly collaborative, supportive and enjoyable process. Simple and straightforward."***"This unique, methodical approach to English teaching and learning undoubtedly helped our staff and students to achieve their 'best-ever' English GCSE results.”***" After targeting two groups of disengaged, difficult to manage boys, within a week, the impact was already visible. I would highly recommend this approach."***"Students know immediately what they need to work on as lessons focus on specific skills rather than whole questions. Students have made significant progress (with some having gone up 2 grades in 10 weeks) and they appear more focused: coming up at lunch times willingly for intervention and they are buying into the method! We would definitely recommend this approach to other schools."***"This approach REALLY works! We COMPLETELY changed the course of our English outcomes. Our students achieved their BEST-EVER English GCSE examination results - I cannot recommend this methodology highly enough!"***"What an impact already!!"***"A platform which has endless potential to support students..."
