Module Leader for EAP
I am Module Leader for English for EAP216 and EAP217. As a linguist, I have taught English for Academic Purposes (EAP), English for Business Studies (EBS), French, and Spanish in a variety of educational establishments across Europe.
After teaching EAP in a school in Bordeaux, France, I went on to teach French at Cork University in Ireland. I then taught EAP at the University of Nantes in France for two years, after which I was appointed director and head teacher of a private language academy in Spain where I worked for six years.
I have taught French, Spanish, and EAP at the University of Sunderland.
Teaching and supervision
I am module leader and teach EAP216 Reading and Writing and EAP217 Speaking and Listening. I enjoy helping students to improve their English language skills so that they have the best possible support to excel in their courses. I also teach the advanced EAP318 and EAP319.
Research
I am interested in the psychology of learning, pedagogical methods, collaborative learning strategies, and different pedagogical approaches in learning.
I am a professional proofreader and have extensive experience of proofreading student and professional work from first-year students to PhD level and academic publications.
I am also a qualified counsellor.
