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.

Beatrice
SAT preparation - online and in presence classes (Paris)!
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.

French, English, and Wolof Tutoring lessons on and off
Online Lessons: In today's digital age, online lessons have become a convenient and flexible way to acquire new skills or knowledge. Whether it's language learning, academic tutoring, or professional development, online platforms offer a virtual space where learners can connect with educators from around the world. The advantages include accessibility, flexibility of scheduling, and the ability to access resources from the comfort of one's home. However, success in online learning often requires self-discipline and effective time management. In-Person Lessons: Traditional in-person lessons provide a face-to-face learning experience that has stood the test of time. From classrooms to workshops, in-person lessons offer a direct and personal interaction between the learner and the instructor. This method fosters a sense of community, allows for immediate feedback, and promotes a structured learning environment. In-person lessons are ideal for hands-on activities, group discussions, and activities that benefit from real-time collaboration. However, they may be less flexible in terms of scheduling and may require physical presence. Both online and in-person lessons have their merits, and the choice often depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the nature of the subject being taught.

Private lessons in HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, HOMEWORK HELP
I adapt to the profile of each intern or student according to their objective and level. The goal is not to work endless hours, but to show how to be able to work alone or partially independently in a short time. It is always a pleasure for me to be recognized in the street 15 years after classes, and to be thanked for having provided a real service to the person concerned. This activity is a passion of mine that I have been pursuing since I was 16 years old. I hope to be able to share it with you to prepare effectively, by significantly reducing your legitimate apprehension of exams.
