Short presentation
As a lecturer at The Language Workshop, I tutor students who want help with academic English. I also teach evening courses in English oral proficiency for international students. I have a BA in Linguistics, a TESOL certification to teach English as a Foreign Language, and a PhD in English Linguistics. My research interests include language change and language ideology.
