An appositive phrase gives you an alternative description or more information about a noun, and it is separated from other elements in the sentence by commas.
The appositive phrase in this sentence is "a whiz at foreign languages" - you can identify it because it is describing and giving you more information about Mr. Wilson (the proper noun the phrase is next to) and has commas around it.
