About William


Bio

I have been teaching for 37 years now. I tell my students that they are the best part of my job. While other things have worn me down and made me decide to retire in June from my public school job, I love my students and the art of teaching as much now as I did in September, 1985, my first year of teaching.

To become a good or great teacher, one must love not only their subject matter but, even more importantly, the students that one teaches.

I have been teaching for 37 years now. I tell my students that they are the best part of my job. While other things have worn me down and made me decide to retire in June from my public school job, I love my students and the art of teaching as much now as I did in September, 1985, my first year of teaching.

To become a good or great teacher, one must love not only their subject matter but, even more importantly, the students that one teaches.

My being a foreign language teacher provides me with the skills and methodologies that also apply to ESL.

I have traveled to France with and without students many times and completed some of my Masters Degree courses at Laval University in Quebec City. I have taught French, levels 1-5, high school and middle school for 37 years now. I have taught Spanish, levels 1-3 at both the middle school and high school levels.

I would love to share my love of languages with you. I am very patient and will not ever give up on you. You must never give up on yourself. I have had very few student failures over the years as I will not accept failure as an option. I always find the good in my students and always tell them that I respect and admire them.

Smart and helpful

William was amazing with helping reinforce the concepts I was struggling in, which were the Passe Compose and Imparfait. He has an amazing way of teaching the actual rules of grammar, unlike how many native speakers know it as 'just how it is'. He can work with different skill levels and is very flexible in his teaching style. 10/10, would reccomend.

Great tutor!

William worked with my son on French 3. He came away from the lesson with a more positive outlook on French and is excited to continue to work with William.

Susan, 62 lessons with William

Excellent tutor!

When I initially embarked on my French language-learning journey, I was met with overwhelming discouragement. Despite seeking guidance from multiple tutors, none possessed the unique approach that Will brought to the table—a secret ingredient that enabled me to develop a natural affinity for the language and gradually build the confidence I so desperately needed. Will's teaching prowess is truly remarkable, characterized by an extraordinary level of patience, a delightful sense of humor, and an authentic, down-to-earth demeanor. His ability to infuse the learning process with an air of enjoyment and his dedication to his students make him an exceptional educator.

Friendly and enthusiastic

We have only just started but I enjoyed his demeanor and adaptability. Looking forward to our future sessions together. He helped me work through and hone in on what I wanted to learn and was able to provide me with our session notes and homework.

Knowledgeable and experienced teacher

Very comprehensive and flexible according to your child’s learning needs. My son is taking French classes and he had better understanding of French language than before.

Tailored his lesson to a specific industry!

I bought my boyfriend, Robby, some Spanish lessons from William (more to come, this was just the first one). Robby works in the flooring industry and needs help learning specialized vocabulary to communicate. William was able to help him get a handle on this, and Robby left the lesson really excited to learn more. Thanks, William!

Amazing French tutor

William is a phenomenal French tutor. He absolutely helped me get through the year without too much pain in terms of grades once I started getting help from him. If I were taking any more French classes, I'd come to him for help.

Great tutor so far!

Its finally nice to have a tutor that's not canceling, no showing or late ALL the time. William has been tutoring my kids for about a month. He's ALWAYS professional, on time & consistent. I can tell that he has years of teaching experience. Sometimes he uses short snippets of Spanish singing cartoon videos to keep my 7 yr old engaged & he changes it up for my 14yr old. He knows exactly what they need to keep them engaged. I know Rome wasnt built in a day & it'll take time, but my hope is for them both to be eventually fluent. I have full faith that they will be with William as their tutor.

Knowledgeable and Patient tutor

Its the first class that my son took with Mr.William and my son throughly enjoyed the class. Mr.William has a way of explaining things to make the subject interesting to students.
