个人简介
I am a University of Nottingham (UK) graduate with a deep interest in language learning. As part of my undergraduate degree, I spent two years living in Berlin, where I fell in love with the experience of speaking a foreign language on a daily basis. This is what ultimately led me to China, although Mandarin has proved to be a far greater challenge than German!
The majority of my teaching career has been spent in China, with my first year in Xi'an working predominantly with younger learners at a private language school. This was followed by three years teaching undergraduate students in the Shanghai university district Songjiang. I then returned to my hometown, London, to teach Academic English, before heading to York University to do the same. My career then led me back to China, where I am now entering my fifth year as an EAP Tutor at UNNC.

研究方向
I am interested in the messy area of vocabulary learning and the positive impacts that regular review and extensive reading/listening can have on vocabulary retention. This interest probably stems from my own (often unsuccessful) attempts to remember vast amounts of Mandarin vocabulary!
