I have over 10 year’s experience working in education. I currently work at UCL as an Associate Lecturer, mainly contributing to the Englicious project. This includes creating online resources, social media marketing, and teacher training.

I am an English teacher with experience in teaching EFL overseas, EAP at universities, and ESOL, Functional Skills and GCSE in Further Education colleges and training providers.

In my practice, I use the principles of cognitive load theory, direct instruction and unconditional positive regard.

I have conducted research into the role of ‘non-standard’ varieties of English in the education system through interviews and critical discourse analysis.
