Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I am Mr Cullen,
I am passionate about teaching mathematics and science!
I am in good standing with the Ontario College of Teachers and hold a Bachelors of Education for the Primary and Junior Divisions from Ontario Tech University.
I believe in student centered learning, each student has a different set of strengths/needs. My goal is to find these and deliver lessons that fit the goals and skills of my students.
I am also a strong believer in being a forever learner, I do not know everything about teaching and will not pretend that I do. I am always open to new teaching practices and trying different strategies for my students.
I am excited to be working with Outschool, something you might like to know about me is that I am very passionate about the outdoors and athletics!Reviews
