Profile
I have teaching experience in a variety of contexts including tertiary education where I have worked as an English language and writing teacher. In my current role as a Senior Learning Adviser, I work mainly with international and postgraduate students. I run the Academic Speaking Programme and also work with individuals or small groups to help them develop skills and confidence in giving academic oral presentations. My recent collaborative research projects have involved investigating and evaluating the work of learning advising and undertaking a stocktake of transition programmes for postgraduate students.
