Teacher expertise and credentials
Wisconsin Teaching Certificate in Science
Hello Outschool families! My name is Kelly Cottrell and I am excited to have the opportunity to teach Science and Math lessons to your children. I have a degree in Biology and am a certified licensed teacher. I have over 20 years of teaching life, physical and earth science at middle school. In addition, I have tutored high school students in Chemistry, Physics, Algebra and ACT prep. I believe every child can learn and will learn and deserves to have a teacher that believes in them and has expectations for them. It is my job as their teacher to create engaging lessons, connect the learning to their lives and guide them in the learning process. When I'm not learning I love to play and watch all sports. I am a curious life-long learner and love to go on hikes and shop for amazing finds at antique stores.Reviews
