As a linguist and ESL professional, I have been working with my mother tongue for well over a decade. As an undergraduate I started as an adjunct instructor for Justus Liebig University’s English department, before I eventually became the English Program Coordinator for the language center. This led to a similar position as Business English Coordinator at Georg August University, where I had the pleasure of organizing courses for over 700 students a semester. I then took a hiatus from teaching, settling into a role as Copy Editor for an academic open access publisher. I now offer clients from all over the world the linguistic and pedagogical support only such experience can provide.
