Kevin Whalen '10

English teacher
Czech Republic
Major at Wooster: Philosophy

My experience at the College of Wooster has fundamentally changed my perspective on life. I was forced to question assumptions that most people take for granted. My liberal arts education has enabled me to discover effective solutions to difficult problems. This broader perspective on life and the development of problem solving abilities has helped me realize personal potentials I had never known existed.

Currently I am in the Czech Republic teaching English. I am also writing questions for the Czech version of the SAT/ACT's for a company called Scio. They're developing an English aptitude test here that is not yet implemented. We're hoping to have it off the ground by next spring. I’ve also helped run summer camps creating activities for teenagers. I plan on traveling and teaching English for about two more years. After that, I plan to return home and enroll in post-graduate studies pursuant to a Law degree or MBA.
