Anwarul (Jack) Khan Email & Phone Number

I have been teaching Chemistry for over 14 years in colleges in London and the East Midlands. In that time, I have been employed as an Advanced Practitioner, where I supported other teachers develop their teaching practice as a rated outstanding teacher myself. At my last college I was made Curriculum leader and later Head of Department. When I started the department’s results were in the bottom 25% of the country for student progress, within two years it was consistently in the top 10% for the courses I managed. My A level classes were in the top 1% for progress. I was first hired by an awarding body (exam board) after a training session with a senior examiner, who invited me to join their team. It was for adult courses I taught. I would check the assessment practice at other colleges and certify their standards. I also worked as a “standards verifier” for Pearsons BTEC Science and Forensic science courses, which was a similar role. I have also been an examiner with a major awarding body for GCSE Chemistry for the last 7 years. The experience I have earned in these roles has helped me to really understand exactly what the examiners look for in answers as well as identifying common misconceptions students have and areas they fall down in exams. My students benefit hugely from this insight, helping them earn those easy to lose mark.Prior to teaching, I worked in the Financial sector in various roles and companies, including American Express, Lloyds TSB and Subsidiary of Lehmans. My most senior position was as a Senior Intelligence analyst a role for which I had not applied for but had built a great reputation in the industry that I got recommended for. Striving for excellence in whatever I do always puts me in a position where I am a standout. Even as a teen working in Mcdonalds I was employee of the month, first month I worked there, top five in the collections department at Lloyds TSB (worked there part time while at Uni). I sometimes fail, but I always strive. It is what drives me to be better and allows me to try things I may never have done before outside of my comfort zone.
