I have more than 20 years of teaching experience, and have taught a range of courses in various capacities in a few different institutions. I teach courses in Phonetics and Phonology, English Linguistics, as well as a few subdisciplines of Sociolinguistics.

My teaching scores from students’ evaluation for every course thus far have been consistently above the school’s average. My teaching has also been recognised in the form of a university teaching award in 2013, and nominations for teaching excellence. I have also been voted by the student body, for three years in a row (2008, 2009, 2010) as Best Professor in Linguistics.
