Hello! My name is Kevin, and this is my seventh year as a tutor. I am a graduate of Colgate University with a Bachelor's degree in Education specializing in Biology, History, and Proofreading. My educational philosophy is to support all students in being academically successful. I believe that as an educator, I have the opportunity to encourage and motivate all students to achieve academic success. Furthermore, I believe that students' academic success is individualized and specific, which is why it is my job as an educator to incorporate good instruction, classroom management, and the presence of various teaching styles in a classroom.

I am accustomed to working in a multicultural environment that emphasizes the inclusion of the English language. Collaborate with business community members to improve programs, develop new programs, and provide students access to learning opportunities such as internships. I have taught History classes to a wide range of students of different ages and abilities (KS3 & KS4). Additionally, I am proficient in planning lessons and courses in detail. Teaching English and History in the past has been a booster to me in delivering curriculum support and development to the learners.

To the best of my ability, I would ensure that I add value to the students so they can progress well in their academic journey. As a committed, inspirational and motivated teacher with the drive and ambition to hit the ground running, I believe we can all achieve greatness. Feel free to contact me with any academic-related issues.

Excellent Tutor

Kevin was an extremely professional tutor with whom I have had the pleasure to work with. You can trust his work ethic as he seems to be taking the satisfaction of his students to a very high regard. Almost an utmost priority for his. I say this even though I am not sure what kind of score or outcome I'll get on the assignment he has helped me with. I can confidently tell you I felt very satisfied working with him. It was a paper in the field of Political Science. Kevin kept wanting to make sure I was satisfied with his services. He is an excellent listener and works very passionately and efficiently. I look forward to taking future lessons with him. I highly recommend this man. All the best Kevin!!
