I'm the Math teacher you always wanted. As a former math teacher I committed long age to finding a way to explain a concept that my student could understand. I get back to what makes sense to a student and then build from there. I do all of this with a sense of humor and a smile! Slow down, it really is easy. Once we establish the base building on it is fun. My preference it to meet online. It is an incredibly powerful environment....

COOP/HSPT
logic
As a high school and college student I took logic classes. Since then I have successfully tutored the concepts many times. There is a rigor involved in this line of study that is challenging and gratifying.
Praxis
elementary science
Exploration is truly the key to science. I carry that into my teaching by breaking the gap from current knowledge to new concepts into small 'bite size' pieces. I am patient and not boring!!
PSAT
ACT Math
elementary math
As a math educator I have the knowledge to discuss the meaning of what we are studying. As an older tutor I have the patience to work with a student until they get a concept on their terms. I reinforce learning the language of mathematics in consistent and meaningful ways. I truly represent the best of all worlds when it comes to an elementary student.

CAROLINE B. from Lutz, FL
Bill has always from day one been very patient and kind, but firm with my son Gavin, who definitely needs structure, encouragement, but someone that isn't going to deal with any bologna Bill has been great. He helps with the subject at hand, but throws in teacher wisdom, and other tips and pointers that are going to help in the long run. He is on time, always gets back to me & communicates with me, so overall I would say we are quite happy with Bill & WyzAnt and will be keeping him on until the end of the year. Highly recommended.

My son enjoyed the study session. He left with a smile and told me, "it was cool". My son completed a homework assignment and they reviewed other material. I believe this to be a great tutor/student match.
Toni J. from Riverview, FL
I love working with Bill. He's very kind, knowledgeable, and always gives me an opportunity to explain my answer whether it's right or wrong. He cares a lot about what he does and will do anything to help me no matter what time it is. I would recommend him to everyone!
Kathy T. from Riverview, FL
Bill is an excellent tutor! He is extremely patient and took time to understand my daughter's needs. He acknowledged both her strengths and weaknesses and is helping her build an understanding based on the way she learns. If you need a math tutor I don't think you could ask for a nicer, more knowledgeable and all around great tutor!! Thanks Bill!
Doris V. from New Port Richey, FL
Worked on geometry for an hour. He came well prepared, and got right to work. Asked what my son already knew and what he needed help learning. Could have done a little review to make sure my son really did understand some things. He was very professional, and I would recommend him.
Gregg B. from Tampa, FL
Bill was on time and did a fabulous job explaining things to my daughter. She has a huge test today and she feels confident after the tutoring session.
Mike H. from New Port Richey, FL
My son is an Algebra 2 Honors student in the 10th grade. He needed some extra one-on-one practice and we found Bill through WyzAnt. Bill and my son continue to meet regularly. Because my son enjoys working with Bill so much, he recommended Bill to a classmate in need all on his own! We are very pleased with Bill, as he is flexible and goes above and beyond, even sending home extra practice when necessary. Bill has also found additional on-line resources for my son when he had questions in other subjects as well. Bill is a wonderful tutor and can assist in many areas of schooling. Confidence and understanding has improved, and grades have also improved. -- We will continue to use Bill's tutoring services with all of our children as needs may arise. *Highly recommended.
