My main teaching focus is syntax. I currently provide lectures and tutorials to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Oxford, having previously taught at the University of Manchester. I also teach General Linguistics at the undergraduate level. Other courses/subjects I have taught in the past include Tools for Language Description and Documentation, Interfaces in Lexical-Functional Grammar, Morphology, Prosody, and Information Structure.

I have supervised work on Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin, Wenzhounese), Croatian, English (including Old English and Colloquial Singaporean English), German, Hindi/Urdu, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Kaqchikel, Portuguese (Brazilian and European), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Thai, Turkish, and Welsh.

I am proud to have been shortlisted three times in the category Most Acclaimed Lecturer (Humanities) at the Oxford University Students Union Student-led Teaching Awards, and to have won the award in 2014.

I am Tutorial Fellow in Linguistics at Somerville College, which admits for the following courses:

Modern Languages and Linguistics (French and Linguistics, German and Linguistics, Italian and Linguistics, Russian and Linguistics, Spanish and Linguistics, Beginners' Italian and Linguistics)

Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics (Psychology and Linguistics, Philosophy and Linguistics).
