About Kenny
I was born and raised in Kenya where I attended British schools. There was an insistence on discipline and academic rigor. More than anything else, though, we learned how to learn.
I was one of those annoying high school students who was frequently called upon to run a class if a teacher had to step out for a few minutes. Many many years later, when my daughter attended a private day school in Bridgehampton, NY, I could not pay the fees so helped out in the classroom quite often. Her teacher told me that I was a born teacher and should get my Masters Degree in Education from Bank Street College in Manhattan - one of the most progressive schools in the US. So I did.
Since then, I have been a "free lance" guest teacher of my own workshops at every level, from kindergarten to doctorate students. I am not an expert in any one topic, but I know how to get students of any age to learn. I have coached many students - even adults - in reading and writing. I have conducted workshops, as in GEOGRAPHY IS THE BEGINNING OF HISTORY or YOU TOO CAN MAKE A MATHAZINE. I have developed curriculum on a variety of topics and conducted teacher training programs in Kenya, the US and even India. I am now a bright and energetic 79 years old and have been teaching one way or the other for over 40 years.
I now live in Santa Fe, NM, where I am a substitute teacher at all levels. Each day, I am thrown into a different classroom and must teach English, Math, Science, Social Studied and frequently, basic skills in special education classes.
I have a very broad educational background with a B. Sc. in zoology and botany and a postgraduate degree in filmmaking. I am a documentary filmmaker and a widely published author and journalist. I am a professional researcher, copy editor, and proofreader.
I am currently building a business to coach high school students with their college application essays.
My business is called KENNY'S BOOTCAMP: UNWRAP YOUR STORY.

(concealed information)
My high level of education, broad global perspective, success as a published author, and years of teaching experience make me uniquely qualified to teach reading and writing at every level. I am also very widely read and familiar with both classical and contemporary literature. I can help students to find the spine of a story, figure out character descriptions, and excercise critical thinking skills in terms of plot analysis, story arc, and character development.
I am always intruiged by younger people and excited by those "a ha!" moments that make a student's eyes light up. I get along with students of all ages - even those in Middle School - and bring my unique upbringing and life experiences to every classroom.
