About Me
Hi, I'm Thomas Blakemore. I'm an award-winning educator, international speaker and the creator behind a platform that has supported thousands of teachers and businesses worldwide.
After several impactful years teaching and leading in Dubai, I'm now based in the UK, bringing global insight and innovation back into British classrooms and beyond.
What began in 2018 as a simple YouTube experiment to engage my Year 6 class has grown into a trusted source of support, strategy and inspiration for educators, school leaders and brands. My work now spans content creation, teacher training, digital consultancy and keynote speaking.
I’ve spoken at leading education conferences across the UK and the Middle East, partnered with forward-thinking organisations, and developed resources that have helped thousands of people transform their teaching, their careers and their classrooms.
I’m still a teacher at heart. I just share the journey a little louder.
