Dia dhuit! My name is Kearan S., and I am a Ph.D. candidate from Tulane University; I am pursuing my doctorate in Linguistics, specifically in Language Revitalization. I have a Master's in Linguistics and a Bachelor's in Sociology and Social Policy & Practice with a minor in Psychology. During my undergraduate years, I taught English as a Second Language to adults, worked as an assistant teacher at an elementary school, and was on the leadership board of multiple student organizations. During my Master's and Ph.D. programs, I have worked with the Kaqchikel people, the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, Choctaw, and my focus language of Gaeilge (Irish). My work has varied from student, teacher, researcher, and professor of practice.

I began teaching when I was twelve years old at the Irish dance school I have danced at since I was 3-4 years of age. I worked as a teaching assistant for a year and then when I was 13 years old, I was given my own class to run, which I taught until August before I left for college in 2016. I have also worked as a babysitter, a camp counselor (where I helped to teach dance and other artistic classes), and a Childwatch Attendant at my local YMCA. I have also worked full-time as a Wyzant tutor in the past. I've worked with children and taught my whole life, essentially.

I absolutely love teaching and working with each unique student, so I encourage you to message me if you are interested in having me as your tutor or if you have any questions.

Great Creative Writing tutor

Keara is a wonderful patient tutor with lots of experience in creative writing. She is the author of a trilogy and she shows kindness and patience towards helping my kids in their lessons. She has covered many topics and the kids are always happy to work with her. Definitely hire her as your kids will see a bump in their grades and understanding of the language.

Weilin, 48 lessons with Kearan

Patient and fun!

Keara met with my third grade son for the first time today and helped him with his school writing homework. My son wasn't in the best mood when the lesson began but Keara made it fun and by the end of the lesson he was very proud of and excited about the writing piece they worked on together. We are going to meet Keara twice a week and I look forward to seeing improvements on his writing overall!
