He was always full of inspiring ideas and so supportive towards others.

I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Dave Willis. I’ll never forget all the knowledge I've gained through his works and how it affected and shaped the teacher I am today.

Having never met the man, I didn't feel it was my place to write a piece such as this. Nevertheless, having been so profoundly influenced by his great work in my own career, I'm so glad that you have been able to put into words how I and countless others felt about this great man.Adamhttp://www.teachthemenglish.com/noreply@blogger.com
