Background
I started my teaching career teaching Business English in the private sector in September 2000, and I have operated my own language company since 2006. I began teaching at the university level in 2011 at the University of Helsinki. Since 2005, I have also freelanced on different projects in the field of marketing as a copywriter and brand consultant. My teaching focus at the university level has been in spoken communicative skills (Presentation skills, Argumentation skills, Debating, etc.), integrated English (CLIL), academic writing, and business English. My research interests include Rhetoric, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Critical Discourse Analysis, Systemic Functional Grammar, Sociolinguistics, Multimodal analysis, Genre Analysis, and Motivation.
