Thomas was educated at Winchester College, where he achieved four A*s at A-level and Pre-U, before graduating with a First in Natural Sciences (Biological) from the University of Cambridge. He went on to complete an MSc in Environmental Technology at Imperial College London with Distinction.
Thomas taught English as a foreign language on Oxbridge Summer Camps in Hong Kong, where he also ran mock interviews and personal statement tutorials for pre-university students. As a Science Teaching Assistant at St Bernard’s School in New York, he worked one-to-one with students who needed extra support and helped mark homework, gaining experience with a wide range of ages.
Thomas believes students perform best when they feel confident, so his teaching is kind and respectful but rigorous and thorough. He works to build a trusting relationship with each student, and enjoys teaching science because of the analytical skills it develops for every discipline. He has taught students from many countries and backgrounds.
