It's been a pleasure working with Guy due to his sense of humour and technical understanding. He has excellent collaborative skills and attention to detail.

Guy did an amazing job of writing and editing an enormous amount of content in a short time. Without him, we never would've been able to publish so many items. The next time we have a backlog of work, I hope to work with him again.	Pim van de Vis Manager

Hitachi

Recommendation	Person
Basically his performance was very excellent and always kept his promise for deadline with positive attitude managing his own schedule by him self. This is most important skill and attitude for business in my project management point of view. His top strength is his positive, cooperative and courageous attitude for any kind of urgent work. As you may understand, project always has some kind of conflict, especially regarding deadline. I have asked him for target document and deadline change many time, but he accomplished our goal managing his own human resource and time, communicating with project management team and technical developers. I guess my request was very tough for him, but he accomplished all communicating with others. In addition to above, his way of talk is very charming and attarct audience based on his variety of background, I think this is also his strength and you may aware once you talk with him. I would definitely work with him again. He was No.1 technical writer as far as I know. He lost his position in our company because of financial issue of Hitachi, but I believe this was big mistake by his manager.	Tetsuya Uda Coworker

Guy is a very dedicated and focused worker. He integrates well with various teams and works well with little supervision. Guy's sense of humor and strong technical background make him a great addition to any team. We hated to see him go but knew Boston's winters were too cold for him.

When he needed I.T. help on his multi-continent projects, he was always able to clearly explain exactly what technology needs were required by each department. I would fully recommend him for any technical training or writing position he feels qualified for.	Michael Weaver Coworker

Training / Teaching

Northeastern University

Recommendation	Person
Based on my work with Guy for the Pronunciation Workshops at Northeastern University, I highly recommend him as a language teacher. He joined the workshops after the start of the semester but he jumped right in with confidence, built a good rapport with the students, and got them speaking right away. His knowledge of both technology and language instruction results in some very creative and interactive lessons that integrate audio and visual components. I hope to keep in touch with Guy for future projects and collaboration because his skills are so incredibly useful and rare to find.	Christi Barb Manager
Guy was a great teacher, he knew how to inspire us and lead the team not only to practice beautiful English but also to express ourselves the right way. He is energetic, humorous, intelligent and very caring. He was one of the best teachers I've ever had.	Yen Nguyen T.H. Student
Guy is really one of the most wonderful teachers I have ever known. Patient, devoted, humorous and clear are how I would describe him. He helps me realize my strengths, encourages me and challenges me to learn through those strengths. He always makes his lessons clear and easily understandable; and he always takes time to explain everything that I need help on. Moreover, he is responsive to my needs, and I have recommended many others to him.	Mai Tran Student

Talk Group - Instructor

Recommendation	Person
When I started Talk Group (then known as Talk da Talk English Club), my first hire was Guy Klages. I had known Guy from working together with him previously at ALE - Actual Living English in Taiwan. I brought him on because he knew exactly the type of English training organization I wanted to create... because he had the same vision. Guy worked with me for 3 years in Shanghai where he was one of the pillars of our company. When you do startup, especially at such an early stage, you do everything and you take on countless amounts of responsibility. In such an environment, there are people who flop and burn out because of the pressure and you get people who relish the challenges and shine. Guy is one of the latter. I remember one of our first projects was creating the Talk da Talk English Book series. Together with Guy, we created, wrote, edited and did lay out for 3 books that are being sold in the China Market now. When we launched our adult English training division, Guy was responsible for all the academic and activity-based learning content for our club. He single-handledly created these processes from scratch... many of which are still being used today. Having managed Guy for 3 years, I would describe him as a very detail oriented and process intensive person. With a strong IT background, (our initial database system was based on his schematic), he excels where he is placed in situations where he can create standardized systems. Additionally, he is one of the most organized people I have ever met... just ask him about his "pet" database project.	Jim Leu Manager
Guy is the best English and Software teacher I have ever studied with, and after many years I still feel very lucky to be one of his students. When my co-workers and I first met Guy at Talk da Talk in 2004, we hired him to teach our group at PriceWaterhouseCoopers for 1 year, and since then he has continued teaching us via webcam once per week. Guy has his own fun teaching style, which makes the subjects so much more interesting to learn. Guy has always been very patient with us, and he explains everything so clearly and so well, with all kinds of examples and funny stories. I think he is much better than any other teacher I have had, and I always look forward to our next class with him since he just has the ability to make everything you learn to be an interesting, attractive and memorable subject.

Actual Living English

Recommendation	Person
Guy has talent as a professional technical writer. At the time we both worked for Actual Living English, teaching proper English was not the priority but rather having fun was, and he managed to teach proper English in an fun environment adhering to very professional standards which was not true of other teachers I managed. Guy sets a high bar for himself in terms of detail-oriented work. He is consistent yet fairly creative and a very dependable worker. He does not have the tendency to lose himself to office politics so prevalent in mid-sized firms. One would be lucky to hire Guy with his global experience.	Neil Narbonne Manager
Guy is a very creative teacher, and I recommend him to anyone who wants a good learning experience. His teaching style is interactive and funny, and he always picks interesting topics for everyone. Most importantly, he creates an easy-learning environment that motivated me to participate and make progress.	Roman Chang Student
Guy is a friendly teacher with good communication skills and able to explain things clearly with vivid examples. His classes are very interesting and attractive with some well-chosen materials, which helped us become more familiar with the English-speaking world. His standard oral English and clear pronunciation gave us a nice parctice environment. Guy is very kind to notice every students' need and was able to help us on any topic we asked about.

It was so great working with Guy. Not only was he very detailed and always improving the database he was creating to fit our ever-changing needs, he was also always available and very quick to respond to any issue we were experiencing. Guy was always patient with those of us with less computer savy in explaining the new features he was constantly adding, and we wouldn’t have gotten the job done without his help. Though I was transferred from ADP Bothell to ADP Augusta last November he was still constantly available. Our group will miss him and hopes to work with him again in the future!
