His father came to England in 1958 from Bangladesh, moving to St Albans, where he spent most of his working life in factories. His mother was traditionally at home, playing an immense role in bringing up the family.   

He entered the field of education in 2003, following his childhood dream of becoming a teacher.

He found that children held a number of common misconceptions about grammar, e.g. verbs are ‘doing words’; some teacher resources were confusing and even misleading. He suggested that there needs to be a government-led push toward supporting in-service teachers’ subject knowledge. 

In the future, using his specialist knowledge for English Language, he is keen on using and sharing research for improving outcomes in students’ language skills at primary, secondary and HE. And of course, he would be more than happy to collaborate; so feel free to get in touch.
