Kevin Kao

Dear Officer

I am Kevin Kao, a 51-year-old Singaporean who resides in Thailand.  I grew up in Singapore, received my primary and secondary education there, and obtained my BA and MA from University of Tasmania, Australia.  I may not be classified as a ‘Native Speaker’ due to my nationality and race, but that does not mean I am any less capable.  I taught English and ESL to numerous classes and students, and they have all obtained impressive results.

I have taught for 24 years: in Singapore public and private schools, international schools in Bangkok, and tutored and guest-lectured in University of Tasmania, in government school in China, and in an international school in Surabaya, Indonesia.  I have been appointed Subject Coordinator, Head of Department, Internal Examination Officer, Curriculum Reviewer, and Level Coordinator throughout my career. I have always taught English Language (both first and second language - IGCSE/AS/AL) and Humanities subjects.  I have also conducted professional development courses for fellow teachers of my previous schools.  I am a firm believer of continuous learning, which makes me a supporter for staff training and development.  I believe that regardless of age, race and/or nationality, everybody deserves opportunities to learn and grow.

I am a team player, at the same time, often regard the learners as priority because we are meant to prepare them for their future.  In areas which are unknown to me, I am willing to learn, and pick up required skills.

I am positive that my experiences will allow me to make contributions to your organisation.  Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will award me an opportunity to teach and be part of your School.

Thank you and Regards

Kevin Kao
