Matthew Jankowski

Matthew Jankowski

Maths Lecturer

I have loved maths since I was young and have always had a keen interest in helping others to see the beauty of solving a difficult problem. This is what brought me in to teaching and I have enjoyed it every day since. My favourite part of the job is seeing the "lightbulb" moments that students get when they finally understand a topic that has been eluding them. I like to keep my lessons light-hearted to balance out people's perceptions about Mathematics.

John Togher

English Lecturer

I am the course leader for English GCSE, having worked at West Lancashire College for 14 years. I am a published writer and love to help young people develop an understanding of the way language works, not just for their GCSE exams, but for everyday life whether it be in person or online. I'm also passionate about opening up young people's creativity and giving them the tools to better communicate.

Andrew Dowd

Maths Lecturer

I have worked at West Lancashire College since 2022. I’ve had an interest in numbers and patterns from an early age and that led me to getting a Masters from Lancaster University in Maths. I’ve been teaching Maths for more than 10 years. I get a great feeling when I know I’ve helped learners on their journey to develop their numeracy and problem solving skills and gain qualifications.
