His knowledge of not only Arabic, but languages in general allows him to truly explain the dynamics of the language, which helps give the student a firm foundation on which to build. Beyond that, Bill interjects cultural and historical references which further add to one's understanding of the linguistic context. Additionally, he's a great guy to spend time with and makes the learning process a great deal of fun. The time I spend with Bill in individual lessons is of great benefit to me in many ways.

He always has a smile on his face. He takes time to answer all of our questions, and make sure we understand the lesson well. It is obvious he loves to teach.
