Yan Garcia

Hi, I’m Yan Garcia, a Suffern, NY based ENL (English as a New Language) Teacher with a master’s degree in TESOL. I am dedicated to nurturing the growth and academic achievement of English Language Learners (ELLs) in educational settings.

 I have experience in both a Stand-Alone setting and Integrated Co-teaching environments. I leverage the SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) model to enhance language acquisition and content mastery. This approach ensures inclusive learning environments that empower students to succeed academically.

I have a strong background in administering and interpreting language proficiency assessments such as the NYSITELL and the NYSESLAT. My familiarity with CR Part 154 guidelines ensures compliance and effectiveness in supporting ELL students throughout their educational journey.

Outside of teaching, I served as a Soccer Training Programs and Development Coach for the New York Red Bulls and have helped hundreds of soccer players develop their skills and achieve their dreams in the sport.
