My love of teaching comes from a life-long love of learning. As a first-generation college student, I learned to navigate the system through deliberate experience. As a magna cum laude graduate and a veteran, I know that hard work and dedication to learning pay off. As a tutor and university instructor, I share decades of practical strategy with students of all kinds. Together, we boost grades and test scores. I see them realize their potential and gain confidence along the way. I love …
Testimonials
Katherine I. from Austin, TX William is a good tutor. I am learning a lot and making a lot of progress on my project.
Beth S. from Wichita Falls, TX I highly recommend William. He went above and beyond our expectations in tutoring my daughter during her 2nd semester at Southwestern University. He was prompt and always accommodating if she needed extra time. He also showed her unique techniques in writing and the study skills she lacks in. We are looking forward to using William again in the fall.
Cheri W. from Austin, TX William does a wonderful job of taking my son's interests and using them to enhance lessons. My son often spends quite a bit of time after lessons working on things they have gone over. In just a few lessons we have seen great improvement in my son's school work. I highly recommend him.
Erin D. from Austin, TX William has been tutoring my two elementary-age boys weekly. During the interview process, William provided me with a comprehensive curriculum, defining the best methodologies and tactics for working with my youngest son, age 7 (almost 8), who is struggling to stay engaged with his current schoolwork. William works with my 9 year old for one hour each Wednesday and my 7 year old two hours each Wednesday. The boy's would each take more time with William if only their schedules allowed it! The boys have benefited from William's intelligence, patience, and particularly his influential style of engaging their curiosity. In addition, William has a gift for pushing them beyond their existing expectations of their ability and doing so in a manner which - in the midst of their pushing back, be it whining or sassing or attempting to eek out an answer from him instead of using their own minds - quietly nudges them through the resistance until the breakthrough whereupon laughter is heard from both sides. This laughter has become an indicator for me that yet another stage of breakthrough learning has been surmounted. One of the most rewarding examples of the progress made with William occurred a couple of nights ago when my 7 year old son sat down and explained the intricate details of a computer game which I have previously attempted to understand to no avail. He walked me through each detail, connecting the whole and explaining with patience and vigor the objective of the game and each of the probable outcomes were I to choose one option over anther and etc. The point of excitement for me was his growth, maturity and intelligence actualized. I could see in this 30 minute interaction, bits of William's influence showing up in spades - the patience, intelligence and quiet passion each applied toward urging my understanding. These characteristics and embodied with ease and willingness were telltale signs of William's consistent involvement. Patience (in my opinion) with children is a gift not often endowed in the intelligent-minded and kinetic-oriented spirit. William's gift, in this instance realized with children, is no doubt equally realized with any age student under his tutelage. And this is why I have taken the time to write this review - the first review I have ever written within the context of an internet community. Suffice it to say, there aren't enough stars to effectively articulate our delight in working with William.
Felicia H. from Austin, TX We are very pleased with William's tech savvy tutoring approach for language arts and SAT/ ACT prep! My son, a senior, finds him very relatable and helpful. William is also very valuable for college entry essay aid. He made certain that my son wrote the essays but helped him recognize where to look for mistakes. William is very prompt, flexible, and easy to schedule. He goes above and beyond to make certain the student is receiving the instruction needed!
Dee E. from Georgetown, TX Great first session for my daughter with prepping for ACT/SAT in October! Look forward to see what will be accomplished with William's efforts combined with my daughter's retention of the material.
