Available to hire
I’m Roy Thomas, a former technology and ICT teacher with a passion for writing and illustration. Over the years I have taught across the UK, developed ICT curricula, and created engaging educational materials. I have written and illustrated several children’s books and am continuing to publish new work.
In addition to teaching, I run online EFL tutoring, enjoy travelling, and stay highly IT literate. I love creating teaching resources on the PC, and I’m learning to play the piano. I also spend time at my property in France, soaking up culture and embracing new challenges.
