Elizabeth C - Lexington, KY 40515 (38.8 mi) - SAT - Math Tutor - $42.50/hr.
My philosophy of teaching has evolved from many years of teaching and administrative experience. As I reflect on my beliefs regarding teaching and learning, I find that my mission as an educator is threefold:
• to promote positive learning;
