About Thomas

I love that 'Aha' moment when students realise what a poem or a play is about. I love helping them to find their own interpretations, while also guiding them in what exam boards expect. Over the years, I have helped students improve their scores in the 11+ exam and English Literature and I will do the same for you.

I am a graduate from London Film School, where I gained an MA in Screenwriting. I also hold a BA (Hons) in English and American Literature from the University of Warwick and have had a career in publishing, journalism and higher education.

I have experience tutoring KS2 English, GCSE English Language and Literature, and A-Level Film Studies. As a graduate of London Film School, I am also experienced in creative writing, in particular screenwriting and playwriting.

During my university degree I spent one year studying Japanese at the University of Tokyo, where I worked as an English language tutor part-time. As such I have experience in teaching conversational English to non-native speakers.

I also have 4 years experience working as a Resident Adviser for Boston University's Study Abroad program in London. This is a pastoral role, where I act as a first point of contact for undergraduate students with concerns.

Creative writing students:

I have had three short plays staged in London, including one at the prestigious Theatre503. I have also written and directed a short film called Wode which is currently being submitted to film festivals. At the moment, I am writing a TV pilot, a full-length play, and co-writing a feature film.

Over the years, I have run several 5-week script writing workshops with university students through my previous job with Boston University in London, so I have experience tutoring students with little to no background in creative writing. I find tutoring in creative writing incredibly enjoyable, so I promise you I will enjoy it as much as you do.

My goal as a tutor will be to help bring out your creative vision and to guide you as you develop your idea for whatever form you choose (e.g. writing a play). I will seldom if ever tell you what to write; that's the job of an editor or 'script doctor'. Instead, I will mostly ask questions and help guide your thinking. I may also point out weaknesses or potential problems with your writing and help you find solutions. The key point is that my primary job is help you develop as a writer so that you can write without the aid of a tutor.
