About Me
italki teacher since Dec 22, 2014
I'm a businessman and teacher with nearly 40 years' experience. I'm very interested in languages, both as a student and teacher. Currently, I am trying to improve my Italian through lessons on Italki, because we have a house in Italy. Right now, I spend most of my time in our house near Chicago, where I live with my wife and daughter.

Then, about 6 years ago, I started working with students online to help them improve their English, especially for business. Many of my students have gotten promotions or new jobs because of their skill improvement. While I'd like to help language learners at all levels and with all goals, I focus exclusively on students at the upper intermediate or advanced level who want to improve their language skills for business. Why? Because this is what I do best. I teach two things: business English and job search. Both are designed to help you advance your career.

Ed's lessons are very practical, result-oriented and intellectually challenging. Ed is very encouraging and kind. I'm always looking forward to his class.

Ed has helped me in many ways, but especially by preparing me for job interviews. He taught me how to approach the whole process and we prepared and practiced answers to many challenging interview questions. He also works with me on word meaning and pronunciation. I like working with him and think you would, too.

È sempre un piacere poter conversare con Ed. Avevo bisogno di consigli, di sentirmi rassicurato. Ed riesce sempre a trovare le parole adatte e a rendermi più confidente. Un grazie sincero. A presto!

Great as always. Ed helps me very much to improve my speaking and writing in a professional way. We are talking about how to say things in different ways and use different words to be precise.

Really nice opportunity to start speaking openly with someone with background overlap with me. Ed is a very kind person and was a pleasure to talk with him.
