What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a supportive educational environment that values collaboration and innovation, where I can contribute to student success and professional growth.

I am Keshnee Sukdeo, a self-motivated educator with a Bachelor of Education and a TEFL certificate. My teaching philosophy revolves around student-centered pedagogy, where I strive to enhance learner engagement and understanding through collaborative efforts in the classroom. I have experience teaching English, Mathematics, and Life Skills to young learners, focusing on their individual needs and abilities.

During my time as an Online English Teacher with Preply, I developed tailored lesson plans for international students, ensuring that each lesson was engaging and aligned with their learning goals. My role as a Student Teacher at Kenville Primary School allowed me to implement the CAPS curriculum effectively, managing classrooms of up to 53 students while fostering a collaborative atmosphere. I am passionate about creating inclusive learning environments that cater to diverse learning styles.
