Before joining King's, Dr Aisha Khan-Evans taught Classics (and MFL) in three state comprehensive schools. After taking an MA at King's, she initially combined teaching in a sixth-form college with work on the Classics PGCE at King's. Aisha now leads the PGCE in Latin with Classics at King's and has a particular interest in extending access to classical subjects.

She is a member of the Classical Association Teaching Board (subject association for Classics teaching) and sits on the Roman Society's Schools Committee.
