Meet the Rollama team 👋

Hi, I'm Andrew. I co-founded Rollama with my wife, Bethany, in 2021. I was a teacher for 16 years at schools in Nottingham, Ipoh, Shanghai, and Prague.

I was an Assistant Primary Head Teacher, Year 6 teacher (plus some secondary English), and worked with many wonderful children and teachers from all parts of the world.

We built Rollama to solve a problem we saw in our schools, particularly for students learning English as an additional language — how to help children practise English grammar, spelling, and punctuation in a fun and engaging way.

Rollama began as a simple classroom tool made in Excel (see our Museum), but soon we decided that it could help lots of teachers if we built a website with user accounts and interactive games.

We believe that language learning can be accelerated through independent practice, both inside and outside the classroom; gamification is one of the most effective way to get children to persist and put in the time needed to build fluent fundamentals.

Hi, I'm Bethany, co-founder of Rollama. I was a teacher for 12 years from 2012 to 2024, in schools in England, Malaysia, China, Egypt and Czech Republic.

I was an English as an Additional Language (EAL) teacher and Year 6 class teacher.

Besides being a passionate EAL teacher, I'm the graphic designer of all the Rollama artwork, and I love making children happy with new llama avatar products and themes.

Meet Nacho, Rollama’s newest (and furriest) team member! This 12kg mixed-breed superstar joined us straight from the shelter, bringing wagging tails and endless charm to the office. Nacho’s official role? Chief Happiness Officer (CHO), specializing in morale-boosting snuggles and inspirational zoomies.

When he’s not keeping the team motivated, Nacho enjoys training to perfect his skills, discovering new squeaky toys, and taste-testing the finest treats. He’s a quick learner with a nose for adventure—always ready to greet you with a smile (and maybe a little paw-shake). His favorite game is Scoop Snatcher because he has a deep love of sweet treats he's not allowed. You can find him in the seasonal pet shop each summer!

Nacho’s motto: “Work hard, wag harder!”
