About Kevin

I have over twenty years’ experience of EFL in Europe, the Far East and the Middle East teaching all ages and levels in general and academic English. I have also been an examiner for the full range of Cambridge Oral Exams and have prepared classes for general and academic IELTS. In eight years working for British Council Middle East, I have served as line manager for other teachers and represented my organisations’ products and services in the local community.
I specialise in teaching using ICT technology and have been ICT coordinator responsible for training staff and students in many aspects of I.T, including the use of office systems and CALL software. I hold MSc in I.T. Applications Development, in addition to a Postgraduate Diploma in teaching English (DELTA) and a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages, and a postgraduate diploma in further research in Education.
I have worked on English for Specific Purposes in the Qatar Oil and Gas industry as a teacher and curriculum developer, with particular responsibility for the design, evaluation and implementation of industry-specific course books, workbooks and software at Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate level for many departments within the industry including technical departments and production.
I have also taught business and technical English in Jubail, Saudi Arabia and on loan contract to the Institute of Public Administration in Dammam where I taught business communication and English for Computer Programmers. I was also Director of English at a Petrochemical Refinery in Jubail, responsible for all aspects of the running of an English for Specific Purposes Department for General and Technical English. In recent years I have been an English Coordinator and Curriculum Developer in Vocational Training, an English teacher for Cambridge exam preparation, an instructor for military, technical and aviation English, and a teacher of ESL, IELTS, and IT at IGCSE and AS Level in Shanghai.
I believe that if offered a position I could make a useful contribution to many aspects of teaching, course materials design and implementation, and in particular the use of technology to teach English language.

If not bound by the official methodology and curriculum of an educational organisation, my teaching method is to first find out what the student wants to achieve in terms of official exams or particular communication needs, and then assess their relative strengths and weaknesses, preferences for teaching methods, focus on particular skills, and finally personal interests, in order to make the course as relevant and useful to the student as possible. This will then involve the collection of, or bespoke creation of, relevant materials for introducing, practising and testing language acquisition. Through regular assessment and feedback, I can determine how well the student is making progress, and benefitting from a particular task, material or assessment type, and if necessary, be flexible in adapting them in order to give the student the best experience which I can provide. To this end, I can use traditional paper based lessons and coursebooks, but I prefer to use the latest available technology either in class or online.
