Kevin has been a professional special educator and college preparation teacher since 2006. After graduating from Howard University with a B.S. in Psychology, he joined the charter corps of TFA Hawaii as a special educator. Since that time, Kevin has taught at public, charter, and private schools in four states as well as independent centers providing college coaching for standardized tests and applications. In his time as a career educator, Kevin has worked with hundreds of students, many going on to attend elite colleges including Harvard, Wellesley, Notre Dame, MIT, Howard, and others. Rather than just helping students get to college, Kevin's big push is for them to achieve scholarships and set themselves up to succeed through college.
Kevin's favorite things to do are travel and learn. He believes that the best thing a true teacher can do is be ready and willing to teach/learn anything with anyone—not to be a master of everything, but to be a master of one's ability to learn. And what better way to learn than in person as much as possible? As a traveling trainer for the State Department, Kevin got to live his dream and traveled to over 25 countries and trained trainers and learners from all walks of life.
When Kevin is still, he is studying his favorite topics (particularly education systems, psychology, and philosophy) or enjoying family, friends, and fellowship.
