Introduction

I grew up in Greece and studied in London, UK. My fascination in foreign languages led me to obtain a BA in English Literature and German. In 2003, I completed my MA TESOL at the Institute of Education, University College London. I started my teaching career in London in 2000 and continued in various educational settings in Greece, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I have taught at Zayed University in the Department of English and Writing Studies, UC, since 2016 and have joined the Language Studies Department, CHSS in Fall 2021.
