About Me

Kevin S. is a cultural geographer originally from Connecticut in the United States. He grew up in what he considers the borderlands between the suburbs and the rural; the Yankees and the Red Sox; the Pequonnock and the Housatonic; between New York and New England.

His research interests include memorial landscapes, mapping, walking, pilgrimage, geographic literacy and the geographical imagination. With a commitment to discussing geographical thinking in more public ways he has presented work in Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Tanzania and the USA. He has also curated a photographic exhibition framed around small town America meeting small town Spain via images of the Appalachian Trail. In 2013 he walked the entire length of this 3,500 km. National Scenic Trail from Maine to Georgia.

He has taught at multiple levels—middle school, high school, college, university and in adult education—and has taught different subjects—geography, psychology, cartography, history, Spanish, English, and beekeeping—in multiple countries, including the United States, Bolivia, Paraguay, Spain, Austria and Tanzania.

He is the founding director of The Geographical Imaginations Expedition & Institute. Between 2014-2020 he hosted and produced the monthly radio essay program, Geographical Imaginations: Radio Expeditions into the Geographies of Everything and Nothing. In 2019 he was selected by National Geographic for the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship and traveled to Arctic Svalbard.

Succeed in the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]
My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF: - The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. - The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles. If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !

Geography provides basics in understanding different subjects and I teach Geography using maps which I believe is useful in getting familiar with different areas in the world. This subject will confuse you if you don't understand the basics, but you will enjoy the subject if it is taught in a right way.

SAT preparation - online and in presence classes !
I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT. I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam. My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps. I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.
