About
Hello!
My name is Kevin Holcomb, and I am a retired middle school math teacher. I currently work as an online math tutor, helping students in grades 5-9. Additionally, I am the author of the children's book series: The Adventures of the Daredevil Grasshopper. I worked in public education for 10 years, and have tutored online the last 3 years.
- I taught 7th grade math for 2 years
- I taught 8th grade math for 8 years
- I taught high school Algebra (to 8th graders) for 7 years
- I started tutoring online in 2021
I am extremely knowledgeable on all the material and curriculum for grades 5-9, specifically the common core math standards. Additionally, I served in the United States Marine Corps for 23 years. I have a current Florida teaching license, and have passed all BCI and FBI background checks. I currently live in Clearwater FL with my Brussels Griffon pup Mikey and have a son who attends college.
Thanks for reading about me!
Kevin
