Reviews
I had previously taken Philosophy and Religion in the Middle Ages and just passed with a C+. At Loyola, we have a +/- grading system which makes things harder in terms of GPA. When I found out I was required to take another philosophy course, I was not thrilled. At the midterm, I got a C+ and decided if there was any way to get the Cum Laude I so desperately wanted, I would have to get a tutor to bring up my Philosophy grade (mind you, this was my final semester and I had at 3.49 so every grade mattered). William not only encouraged me and inspired creative thinking, but got me so engaged in Social Justice. I left each tutoring session feeling confident and more prepared for my final. William didn't just explain the material, he would challenge me to think about the topics critically for very deep understanding. Philosophy is hard. Let's just say it. The only way to get it is to work at it. I am so glad that I got William as a tutor. Not only did I get the Cum Laude, but I also finished the class with an A. The final went better than I could have imagined as I answered every question with confidence and pride. I stayed the whole time for the essay portion of the exam, because it was the first time I had so much to say. I am finishing my college career with more than I could have ever dreamed of and William has such a large part in that. He is brilliant. THANK YOU.

Really appreciate William's help with Trevor. Very smart and pleasant to work with. The sentence structure and grammar are the key areas to focus on. Thanks again

William gave me SO many resources and ideas as to how to approach my career change. Not knowing if what I'd like to transition into will even be something I will like is tricky, and William gave me ideas on websites I could use, and ways to reach out to others in the fields I am considering. I especially liked that he suggested fields where the types of people I enjoy being around, work. I had never thought of that- and realized that is a HUGE piece of the puzzle when it comes to job satisfaction. :)

William was very knowledgeable and helped my daughter improve her understanding in AP Government class. She enjoyed the sessions and discussions very much. He is very flexible and sincere, understands the students requirements and works around it very well. Highly recommended.

William is a wonderful European History tutor. He is very knowledgeable and thorough on how to analyze sources in history. The lessons are very helpful, he explains the content very well. My daughter finds history interesting and enjoyable now!

William has focused the lessons specifically to my students needs and learning style. He has helped my student increase in both knowledge and confidence. William has a strong background in the topic he is tutoring and this shows in his ability to condense and explain exorbitant amounts of content. His expertise has enabled my student to know the facts, but more importantly, process the similarities, differences and consequences of each.

William and I went over the topics of the English portion of the GACE exam. We got a clear understanding of how we would proceed with our sessions going forward. I'm super excited to continue our lessons next week.
- Mechelle A. from Smyrna, GA
He was great. He was able to go over the Econ info for my test where I feel like I now understand. I felt like I have a better understanding and will be able to apply to get correct answer. Great job. He was even understanding when I was a few minutes late due to traffic that vary a lot in the area
