Background

I have been involved in English language education in the UK and abroad for the past fifteen years. My career began as a general English instructor, and, later, an educational advisor, and a teacher trainer. I subsequently took on a new role as an EAP tutor, initially in EMI contexts, then, later, in the UK. 

I joined Institute of Education at UCL as Senior Teaching Fellow (Dissertation Supervisor) in 2019-2020 academic year. Prior to this role, I worked as a Teaching Fellow in Applied Linguistics-TESOL at Newcastle university as well as the University of Sheffield. As a Teaching Fellow, I was the module convener for a number of modules in the MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL programmes at these universities. Some of these modules included Teaching English for Academic Purposes, Language Testing and Assessment, Discourse Analysis and Materials and Curriculum Development.
