About David


Bio

My name is David K and I am a devoted educator of over ten years. I began teaching back in 2013 after completing my undergraduate degree at Bowling Green State University. In the beginning, I taught English as a Second Language to high school students in Mongolia. I then moved on to ELA, and settled into middle school science after completing my M.Ed at Moreland University in 2019. Currently, I teach grade 6 ELA and science and am enjoying every minute of my time in class!

My name is David K and I am a devoted educator of over ten years. I began teaching back in 2013 after completing my undergraduate degree at Bowling Green State University. In the beginning, I taught English as a Second Language to high school students in Mongolia. I then moved on to ELA, and settled into middle school science after completing my M.Ed at Moreland University in 2019. Currently, I teach grade 6 ELA and science and am enjoying every minute of my time in class!

Over the years, I have taught many grades and multiple subjects, but I am especially passionate about middle school science. There is just so much to learn about the magnificent world we live in, and I love indulging students' curiosity as we explore the wonders of reality. Plus, middle schoolers are just the most fun age group to teach! Using real-world examples, relevant questioning, and lots of technology, I can always get students excited about the content. And with my heavy focus on reflection, my students consistently need to consider their own progress and achievement.

In short, I love teaching and I look forward to helping you learn and grow!

Approved Subjects

Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I earned straight A's in mathematics throughout my entire K-12 experience. During Covid, I taught my daughter mathematics to keep her focused and now (in 3rd grade) she is successfully completing 7th grade mathematic problems and concepts. I use a spiral method of instruction for mathematics, building skills gradually and consistently revisiting previous concepts in order to foster enriched understanding.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I have been teaching middle school for the past 10 years, including both English and science. Using a variety of hands-on methods, quizzing, and investigations, students learn the concepts and skills of the various areas of science. With a wide array of experiments, simulations, videos, and quizzes compiled over the years, my students have access to a top-notch science education.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I began my teaching journey teaching English as a Second Language to high school students in Mongolia. Having taught abroad for nine years, ESL is a subject that I have a great deal of experience. Upon returning to the United States, I also taught newcomers at a school in Cleveland, Ohio, where in just one year students went from zero English to using the English language in their daily lives. I believe in the direct approach to ESL, focusing extensively on students' speaking and listening ability first, but also encourage active reading strategies to build necessary vocabulary. My ESL students have and will become confident users of the English language by the time they go to university.
Reading

Reading

Having taught English and science for over 10 years in both the United States and Mongolia, I have aided many students in their reading efforts. In addition to my IB certification in middle years and diploma programs and my master's in education, I have also completed a phonics course that allowed me to teach students in reading from absolute zero, which I used to teach my own children when they were just 3 years old. In my middle school ELA classes, students read short stories, novels, and poems that appeal to their interests, greater fueling the desire to read more. Furthermore, using direct 1-1 instruction, guided practice, and small group reading activities, students achieve literary fluency rapidly and with ease. We will work together to improve your reading fluency and comprehension quickly and with great success!
