STEPHEN VAUGHAN THOMAS

I was born and brought up in Wales, UK.  When I was 18 I went to a teacher training college.  From the age of 11 onwards I worked part-time, right through secondary school and after leaving college I worked full time in a hotel as a waiter and barman, was a lorry loader and a forklift truck driver. However, this all came to end when my father thought it might be a good idea to use my qualifications and I started my teaching career in London in 1977. After 4 and a half years I applied to the English Schools Foundation in HK and I was accepted in 1982 and I worked for the ESF for 25 years.  In 2007 I decided to have a change and I became a Government NET in 2 local schools for 6 years, leaving because of my age.   I then worked part-time  and I have taught students privately, taken after school classes and I have also helped out friends in various schools.   I am definitely in the ‘twilight’ zone of my teaching career and I really want to help the students and teachers as much as possible during my time in Kau Yan.
I love movies, music, reading and sport.  My wife and I adopted a HK girl 9 and a half years ago and she goes to Glenealy school (ESF).  I go to the gym regularly and I take my daughter swimming on a regular basis.  I have passed Grade 8 on the piano but I still have piano lessons every week.
