'Tom sees English in a unique way.' 'Tom's greatest skill is his ability to demystify the teaching and learning of English language and literacy.' 'Tom promotes progress through true logic and clarity...' 'A totally outstanding and inspirational teacher...' 'A successful, visionary leader.' James Kerfoot, Head Teacher, Cheshire, UK * * * * * A former school senior leader; five-times English faculty leader and nationwide adviser for English teaching, learning and assessment. I have worked in 11-19, UK English education for two decades: specializing in the 'demystification' of English teaching and learning; supporting students with differing educational needs; English as an additional/foreign language and disadvantaged students of all abilities and backgrounds. As a post-BA-diagnosed dyslexic, my ‘skill-by-skill’ and ‘step-by-step’ approach to English in education has helped to empower teachers, students and leaders alike: reducing ‘over-load’, improving outcomes and supporting schools to raise their examination results to record levels. EdenFiftyOne™ is the digital platform that encapsulates this approach: promoting a logical, clear and collective methodology that demystifies the educational English experience for everyone involved, from the classroom to the exam hall… Clarity. Equity. Outcomes. Opportunities. *** 'We would definitely recommend this approach to other schools. In August 2019, we achieved our best-ever GCSE English results of Progress +0.41. Utilizing EdenFiftyOne undoubtedly helped selected students to make significant progress, and as such, it played a crucial role in the record-breaking success of our English department.' Stacey Kitt, Head of English, Ormiston Bushfield Academy, Peterborough 'The students were very engaged in their learning as they had ownership of what needed to be done. It was also a useful reminder for them as to what their strengths were as well as what they needed to focus on when writing analytically. EdenFiftyOne did have a positive impact as it allowed them to make individual progress, at their own rate, and be guided by their peers who had already mastered specific skills. EdenFiftyOne enables the teacher to focus on the specific skills that individuals need so it is a quality tool we have for teaching and learning.'
