About Kevin
My name is Kevin Kelly and I am a highly-experienced, highly-effective educator. I recently moved back to America from Vietnam, where I taught middle school for three years. I am an intermediate speaker of Vietnamese, and I have extensive experience teaching English Language Learners. I also have much experience teaching high school students who are preparing to go to college, having worked at a prestigious international school in Beijing for six years. Prior to moving to the Far East, I taught for five years in the Philadelphia School District. I am now seeking online students so that I can spend more time with my four-year-old son over the next year. I have a Master’s Degree in Education, a TESOL certification, and a PA teaching certification in Secondary English, Mid-Level English, and as a Reading Specialist. I am eager to get back to teaching, and hope to get started at the soonest opportunity.

I have experience teaching English at all levels, from beginner to advanced, and have materials suitable for various learning styles. My method for teaching writing is closely integrated with the teaching of grammar skills, and these are scaffolded from the mastery of basic skills to the competent use of sophisticated sentence structure. For reading, I provide students with a variety of high-quality texts, suitable for their level. Students can then analyze these texts for things such as metaphor, tone, irony, and point of view. We also use these texts as a basis for writing assignments, such as a character study or a thematic analysis. For college-bound students, I can provide them with all they need to know for how to write a research paper with proper citation methods. My delivery approach usually involves PowerPoint though I can easily accommodate students for whom this approach may not be desirable. I frequently send the students a presentation in advance, enabling them to preview the material and complete exercises that we can then review together during the lesson.

I worked with Kevin, and he is one of the most organized and knowledgeable teachers I know. He is super committed to teaching. We had so many fun debates in the teachers’ office about the best ways to help our students succeed. Those discussions were some of my personal highlights from last year. He creates unique lessons. I had to cover his class once. He provided me with a wonderful English lesson about how intonation affects the meaning of a word. Kevin recorded himself saying “Dude” in a dozen different ways; the students had to identify the emotion being portrayed. Some of the recordings were so funny, the students and I were howling with laughter. More importantly, the students immediately understood how intonation works and did well on their assessments.
