About Keenan
As a New York State Certified Teacher with a Master’s Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language, I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to every lesson. My background includes teaching children, teenagers, and adults, and my approach is built on patience, understanding, and fostering a low-stress learning environment (low affective filter). This ensures that students feel comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn without fear of judgment or stress. I have extensive experience delivering content in comprehensible and engaging ways, using proven methods to make lessons accessible and enjoyable for all proficiency levels. Additionally, I am trained in the science of reading, which helps me incorporate research-based strategies into my teaching. I continuously invest in my professional growth by attending workshops and conferences, such as the recent NYS TESOL Annual Conference, where I gained insights from leading experts in the field. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students can thrive, whether they’re mastering foundational language skills, preparing for academic challenges, or developing professional communication. I look forward to helping you achieve your English language goals with confidence and success!
