About William
I have a B.A. Degree from Capital University, and from UCLA I have “Earned with Distinction” a Certificate in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I have also earned a Certificate in Writing from Oxford University, and multiple Certificates for classes in Teaching English from the British Council.
As a teacher I have worked with a vast array of kids and adults, both privately and in academic settings: elementary, middle, high school, continuation, adult school, and as a guest lecturer at the college level. In addition to academic study, I have also taught chess (privately, at schools, and at Beverly Hills Adult School) to students from ages 4 to 87. I currently teach “Improv and Creativity for Teamwork” at LA’s Homeboy Industries, the world’s largest network of adult turnaround programs; this comprehensive class brings my improv training at Second City together with brain-storming practice, literature, lessons from history, moving guest speakers, and inspiration and reflection from many diverse sources.
In addition to my love of teaching, I am thrilled to be able to offer you the range of my career experience in other areas as well! In business I have worked as a reporter for the largest regional wire service in the U.S., a radio news broadcaster, and a PR exec.
And as a writer I've done feature stories for the L.A. Times, Huffington Post, and other publications. In the entertainment field, I've worked as an actor, writer, and producer.

Congratulations on deciding to improve your mastery of English - in speech and writing! May I share how I will work with you? I will first talk with you and get to know you and your goals. For example, are you most focused on business, education, social, or some other area? Are you looking to describe, explain, or even persuade? Are there certain formats that would fit your objectives best? Of course we will work on basics of spelling, grammar, and syntax. Then, based on your goals, I will offer you practical assignments geared toward achieving them. I am thrilled each time a student makes a breakthrough. I look forward to helping you express yourself better!

Perfect! I enjoyed my first lesson with Michael. It was free.
Michael specializes in teaching correct pronunciation and intonation. He listened to my speech and made corrections. I am optimistic that Michael will help me achieve my objectives. Thanks, Michael,- Thessy is motivated and dedicated to reducing her accent. I look forward to working with her!William's response :
Perfect! connected me with someone who helped
- Susan needed to acquire an accent for a theatrical callback for a play. I was able to refer her to my friend, a native speaker who agreed to assist her.William's response :
Perfect! William was an amazing teacher. He not only has a deep understanding of English teaching methods and how to help someone become a better writer and speaker, but he is also a very attentive listener. He took the time to understand the areas where I felt I needed improvement and customized our session around those needs. For future sessions, he also suggested a clear focus on the areas that would help me improve the most. I highly recommend him!
- Azin is very bright, personable, and motivated to learn! She is clear about what her writing and speaking needs are, in order to move to the next level in her business career. We agreed on some specific exercises that will help. I look forward to working with her!William's response :
Perfect! William is very interesting with a ton of experience
- Michael, in the field of storytelling, you have unique experiences. I’ve only heard a portion of them so far, but they will fascinate listeners! We touched on a timely “hook”: the correlation of your international competition experience to the current Olympic Games. Building on that, you can add other life experiences. And sharing your story verbally can happen informally, or on podcasts, standup, TedX talks, and more. If you choose to write your story, it could easily transform into a “pitchable” story idea for print or online media outlets.William's response :
Perfect! William is an incredibly patient and detail-oriented teacher. He helped me clearly identify all the problems I’m currently facing and created a very well-structured learning plan for me. He also corrected my pronunciation in a timely and precise way, which has helped me improve a lot. I truly enjoy his classes and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their English efficiently.
- Mia is a delight to work with! She is clear on the areas where she wants help - certain business and social situations. She is focused and committed, and very willing to put in the work and the practice to reach her goals.William's response :
Perfect! Mr. William was great working with our loquacious daughter during this session. He has a wealth of knowledge and our daughter was able to comprehend. his teachings.
- Dee Dee is delightful! Bright and creative, she is learning to use descriptive imagery to express herself through writing. She is receptive to suggestions and to learning how pronouns can show point of view. Looking forward to seeing her progress!William's response :
Perfect! I had the pleasure of learning English with Bill, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. First of all, he’s an incredibly charismatic speaker—his background as both an actor and a business professional really shines through. Just listening to him speak was a learning experience in itself; the clarity, rhythm, and confidence in his English helped me naturally absorb a lot.
What makes Bill truly unique as a teacher is his deep cultural and professional experience across different parts of the United States. Having lived and worked in various regions, he offers a perspective that goes far beyond just language. He helped me understand not only how people speak in different areas, but also why they communicate the way they do—whether it’s in casual conversations or professional environments. This kind of insight is incredibly valuable for anyone looking to really learn the American English.
Finally, Bill always came well-prepared with thoughtful and relevant materials, and he knew how to make each class engaging and relaxed. His sense of humor and easygoing attitude created a comfortable learning environment where I could ask questions and practice freely.
If you’re looking for a teacher who brings both high-level language skills and rich real-world experience to the classroom, Bill is the one.- You are quite motivated, Vincent - and it’s a pleasure to work with you! You are receptive to feedback, and have a clear idea how you will put your knowledge and confidence to work in your career.William's response :
Perfect! Thank you being an amazing English writing teacher! My son enjoyed his session very much. He looks forward seeing you again to finish his Minecraft story.
- Michael is so talented in his artistic pastime. I want to offer him a chance to develop his writing through that medium, for starters. It's a pleasure to work with you.William's response :
