About me
I teach in the English section of KTH Language and Communication. The English courses that my colleagues and I teach are practical and tailoured to the needs of students and professionals in STEM.
Language and communication fascinate me, and over the years I have studied English, Esperanto, French, German, Japanese, Persian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. I am also interested in the ways that English functions as a lingua franca in academic, professional, and social contexts.
I am committed to demystifying academic communication and to making learning worthwhile and accessible to everyone who strives for it. With this aim, I developed KTH's Pre-sessional English course for newly arrived master's students, and I am a tutor at KTH library's Centre for Academic Writing and Rhetoric (CAW). I have also co-created the KTH Guide to scientific writing and co-founded the Global Engineers Languages and Skills (GELS) network. Please find below links to these activities:
