Acerca de mí
As an American living in Europe for the past decade, I am currently based in Belgium, where I am pursuing a second Master’s degree in Church History and Historical Theology at KU Leuven.
I specialize in helping students and professionals elevate their English for academic and professional writing. Additionally, I offer instruction in Syriac, as well as Koine and Patristic Greek, from beginner to advanced levels. Syriac and Greek courses can be more focused on language or theology according to your own interests. Courses can be given in English or French.
I would be delighted to assist you in achieving your linguistic and academic goals. Please feel free to reach out, and let me know how I can support your learning journey.
