"During my eight months' stay in San Francisco in the fall of 2010 and the spring of 2011, I met Will and had the opportunity to work with him to improve my English. I appreciated his teaching ability, his linguistic sensitivity, and his patience. His familiarity with German made it possible for him to anticipate the particular problems German speakers have with the English language. I had a lot of fun and I recommend him heartily as an English teacher!"
-- Bernhard R. from Zurich, Switzerland
