Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Louisville, KY

One of the greatest joys in my life in teaching. Previous teachers influenced my life immensely and likewise, I want to influence the next generation.

I have been recognized for being able to communicate and teach behaviorally-disabled and -challenged students. I think this is because of my many years as a minister.
