I spent some time at NYU on Classical Arabic and Modern Hebrew, and was a regular assistant in several small home-school groups working with students in Latin and algebra. ...

I found Bill to have a broad knowledge of French, both spoken, grammatically and the historical roots of the words. I believe he has the skill and knowledge to help me with my goals of developing my French from tourist exchanges to a conversational level. And I think we will have fun in this process, which I also call part of my Alzheimer’s Prevention Program. I also was impressed with Bill as a very scholarly and interesting person; and I will have to discipline myself to stay on subject with him. I suspect he would be an excellent tutor in Spanish and other linguistic studies as his knowledge of the origin of word roots is quite profound. He also seems to have a remarkable sense of sounds and the sounding of the words. I'm looking forward to my next lesson!
