About Maryam

Born and raised in the Maldives, I have a passion for my native language Dhivehi and its history. I moved to New Zealand to pursue a doctoral degree in Applied Linguistics at Massey University after completing a Master degree from the University of Canberra, Australia. I joined Waikato University as a Learning Development Tutor with more than ten years of experience in teaching English in the Maldives. I am interested and excited to continue my career supporting students to develop academic writing skills, to become more effective learners and improve their academic performance.
Outside of UOW, I enjoy getting to know beautiful New Zealand, reading, writing, and going for walks.
