Meet the talented Richmond teacher ‘breaking’ stereotypes.

Faraz Khan teaches physics to students at Grey Court School by day, but after-hours he can be found busting dance moves.

The 30-year-old has ambitions to become a world champion breakdancer, a goal he hopes, will inspire kids in his classroom.

In a Channel 4 video, in partnership with the Department for Education, the teacher explained why.

“I tell the kids I’m going to be world champion one day. When I am, I’ll deliver that assembly to them and say ‘I said I was going to do it, so here it is. You’ve got no excuse.’”

Mr Khan let his pupils into his breakdancing secret after hearing complaints that physics was the most boring subject.

He said he took it “personally,” so decided to show them “a live example of physics in action” by balancing, headfirst, on a worktable.

The Channel 4 campaign tells the stories of 100 inspiring teachers from different backgrounds across the UK.

Mr Khan attributes his hunger for success to his parents, who came to the UK as immigrants.

“I grew up in a humble home, my parents always had quite a strong focus on academics.

“They came to this country with very big hopes and aspirations for the next generation, us, and they made huge sacrifices for us today.

“We can only ensure that we work hard in order to pay that favour back. That’s a debt that can never be repaid,” he said.

His brother is also good at the balancing act. A full-time dentist and breakdancer, he thanks the combination for a disciplined work ethic.

They compete together around Richmond and Kingston, updating fans on social media page ‘therazzleroc’.

“I’m going to try to be the best teacher. I have to be the leading figure in that subject to show that I really believe in them and that collectively we believe in this mission for them to succeed.”

“To have that world title in my hands that’s something I’ve been striving for years. To show [students] just push in whatever it is you want to progress in,” said Mr Khan.
