Capital Letter for lecturer?

Post by WorkHelp »

Hello

At work, I am sending notifications out to individual students about their lecturer contacting them. My boss keeps writing the phrase “Your Lecturer will be in touch soon”, however I thought in this instance lecturer should be with a small l?

I’m using the British grammar system. Can anyone help? As mentioned, these are letters going to individual students, so it is talking about a particular lecturer rather than in general, but the letter does not user their name or any other details besides lecturer.

Please help me as she keeps doing it and I keep changing it and now im not sure if I should 😂

Yes, 'lecturer' does not normally require capitalization.
