Hi! My name is Will. I'm from the United States, but have been living and working around the world for 15 years. I have lived in South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Portugal. I love listening to music, reading, cooking, scuba diving, baseball, learning, helping, exploring, trying new things, laughing, and spending time with my friends.
Me as a Teacher
I have 15 years of international teaching experience. I have taught in classrooms at elementary schools and universities and also online. I've worked with children and adults of all different language levels from various cultures around the world. Each different situation has taught me so much, and you can use my international experience to help you or your children achieve your language learning goals.
My lessons & teaching style
People learn the most when they're having fun, so I try to make all of my lessons fun and engaging. It's better to learn while we laugh! Each student is individual and special, so each lessons is customized for students' goals and learning style! My lessons can focus on many things, including developing: vocabulary, confidence while speaking, writing skills, listening/reading comprehension, pronunciation, and knowledge of grammar. Lately, I've been spending more time helping students develop skills such as: communication, creativity, critical thinking, self-reflection, time management, reasoning, typing, and more.

Will is covering topics that my son is missing in America while we are in Europe, so if we do go back, my son won't be behind in English. He really is helping my son think critically about what he is reading. Will is also encouraging, has patience, and does a great job communicating with me.

I started taking classes from Will over a year and a half ago. I needed to learn English but I hated it at the same time and the teachers I had had, hadn't helped to improve that situation. When I started classes with Will, I knew that this situation would change. Today, a year and a half later, I have been able to learn a lot of English and, above all, have the confidence to show it to the world. Will has been my main help during this time and he has made me enjoy English and our sessions, they aren´t "study" hours, they are hours to speak in English, about any topic, with a person who has almost become my friend. He has always helped me in the professional field. When I have had to present in English, about businesses, he has helped me to do my best. I would recommend, to everyone who wants to learn English while having fun, to have a first session with Will. Once you start, you won't be able to stop. To you Will, thanks for supporting me and teaching me, always having a good time :)
