Hi! My name is Layla, and I’m a writing and language learning coach in the Writing and Language Studio. I also teach graduate academic communication skills at DKU. I’m from the United States but have been living in China for 10 years. My first language is English and I also speak some Mandarin. I am here to support your English language learning and writing. I am particularly interested in graduate degree-specific writing and developing students’ ability to give peer feedback. I look forward to working with you and to helping you meet your language learning goals.
