A trial session is a good way for us to check the fit and discuss a plan for you to meet your goals. I enjoy personal contact with motivated learners! Fee adjustment can be discussed. Let's explore!

I've studied with William now for over a month and very pleased with his preparation and dedication towards teaching. I'm a beginner German language student, and William has helped me focus on the fundamentals of the language (pronunciation, grammar, etc.) in order for me to be able to maximize my self-study growth. He also brings creative learning tools and material to each lesson which helps the immersion process. I look forward to growing my language capability with William and highly recommend him for all levels of German language learners.


Paul S. from Winnetka, IL

William G. is a very knowledgeable and experienced German speaker, and a very thoughtful and conscientious teacher. He combines written and spoken instruction, and includes idiomatic figures of speech, which prepares one for conversation much better than an exclusive 'textbook' approach. He is also very easy to reach, and responds quickly to emails. I can recommend William G. as a German tutor without reservation.


Joshua T. from Chicago, IL

My wife and I have been working with Bill for a few weeks now. I have a higher proficiency level than my wife, who is basically a beginner. After the first couple sessions, Bill identified, in collaboration with us, the goals of our language learning and the best techniques to work for our situation. The last two sessions were some of the best I think due to the careful work of deciding on an approach in the earlier sessions. As a tutor, Bill will accommodate you and adapt to your needs. This is the best kind of tutoring experience.


Kaethe M. from Evanston, IL

I have been delighted by the progress my son is making in learning German under the kind and able guidance of William G. I encourage anyone interested in working with a tutor to give William a try.


Lauren C. from Chicago, IL

So far William and I have had two lessons together, and he has been very flexible with his teaching approach. We have mainly been practicing through conversation, and I really appreciate it when he stops to give me time to write down a new word, helps check the spelling, and then goes out of his way to use that word again in our continued conversation. I am looking forward to more lessons together.


Sam B. from Durham, NC

Good teacher. Will adjust to the students learning patterns. Very knowledgeable of German. Has an array of teaching materials.


Dan M. from Charlotte, NC

I have been seeing William weekly for an hour for a few months now. I began as a 43yr old trying to teach myself German. I worked through the entire five disc set of Rosetta Stone which gave me a very strong foundation but did not prepare me very well for carrying on a conversation. William has been very helpful in reinforcing what I learned through Rosetta Stone and helping my conversational skills. He is professional and well prepared for my lessons.
