Tony L. Williams

Arlington, Virginia Volunteer at Mount Vernon RECenter Length of Service: 8.5 years Class Instructor

Tony Williams provides a safe, comfortable, and effective learning experience for his martial arts students at Mount Vernon RECenter. He creates lesson plans for staff review, offers verbal instruction and skills demonstrations, provides feedback to students, answers questions, and provides written materials. He is more than accommodating if there are unavoidable disruptions to the class schedule. RECenter staff feel “incredibly lucky” to have Williams as a volunteer twice each week, a duty he has performed for nearly a decade. With a kind and unassuming nature, he arrives early to prepare the classroom for instruction, teaches, and then spends time after class talking to his students and developing a tight rapport with them. His work is done passionately but without fanfare, and his students truly benefit from his selfless time. Williams’ teaching style assures that no student is left behind.
