Biography

I have been Teaching General and Exam Preparation English since 2005, mostly in Oxford (England). I also worked as a Speaking and Writing IELTS examiner in various locations in the UK and a Cambridge CELTA tutor in the UK, Ireland, Poland, and China. I have taught students, examined IELTS candidates, and delivered teacher training courses to both novice and experienced teachers from all over the world. Before joining the CELE team at UNNC, I tutored on pre-sessional EAP courses for the University of Nottingham in the UK. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, reading, and trying new food.


Teaching

EAP, including Reading and Writing in Academic Contexts, Academic Oral Presentations, and English for Specific Academic Contexts


Research interests

I'm interested in the challenges faced by EAP students in cross-cultural contexts, the roles teachers and students have in overcoming these, and the ways in which technology can affect learning.
