My teaching experience includes graduate seminars, undergraduate lecture courses, and undergraduate seminars, representing a broad range of content: Assyriology, religious studies, ancient and modern Middle Eastern history, and language courses (Akkadian, Sumerian).

In addition, I have received extensive training in pedagogy through the Yale Certificate of College Teaching Program and Yale Center for Language Study workshops. At the University of Helsinki, I continued this training as part of the Peer Mentoring in Teaching Pedagogy program. Our group co-wrote an article about our experiences, which was published in December 2018 in the Yliopisto Pedagogiikka/Journal of University Pedagogy.
