About me

I have taught at LSE since 2019. I specialise in creating and teaching language and communication courses for specific academic purposes.

I have previously served as a Visiting Lecturer and Course Director at some of Europe's leading universities. From 2012 – 2019 I lived in Turkey, where I taught at a number of universities around the country. My research interests lie at the intersection of the following four areas: language, technology, culture and the practice of diplomacy.

About the Language Centre

LSE is a centre for the study of the social sciences and this is reflected in its Language Centre.

Our courses focus on language and society, encouraging you to learn how to use language in the contexts you would like to live, study and work in. We teach people to speak languages, but also teach about language (socio-linguistics and intercultural communication) and offer a range of courses on literature and society. 

We offer English for Academic Purposes programmes, BSc programmes a range of undergraduate degree courses that can be taken as part of a degree and a range of language options that can be taken outside of a degree programme. All programmes and courses relate language study and support to the fields of interest of social science students.
