Hi there! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Keegan and I am a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a background in linguistics. I’ve studied Mandarin Chinese for 8 years and spent 14 months living in China as a student, so I understand what it’s like to learn a language deeply. I love connecting with people from different cultures and having meaningful conversations. If you’re looking to improve your English while discussing real-life topics, not just textbook exercises, in a judgement-free zone, I’d be excited to work with you! As a teacher, I focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable expressing complex thoughts in English. My background in mental health counseling shapes how I listen, ask questions, and guide conversations. I enjoy helping students move beyond surface-level speaking into more meaningful, nuanced expression. If you want to build confidence while exploring ideas, perspectives, and real-life topics, I’m here to support that growth. My intent is to make you feel like you are speaking with a friend. My lessons are conversation-focused and tailored to your goals. I guide discussions on real-world topics of interest to help you express yourself clearly and naturally. Along the way, I provide thoughtful corrections and help you refine vocabulary, phrasing, and nuance. I adapt to your level and interests, whether you want relaxed conversation or more structured practice.
