Announcements: Hello, my name is Cat. I've been away from IDIY for a while, but now I'm back and I look forward to teaching you! Since I've been away, I've been a and Tutor and then a Lecturer in Creative Writing at a UK university, then I began teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages with the government. I also teach Creative writing freelance with all sorts of companies. I've come back to IDIY so I can do more work with students online. I like to teach students from all over the world and at all sorts of skill levels. I have many years' experience in both critiquing academic writing and in correcting English by foreign students. I can't wait to meet you! Cat
Hobbies/Travel: No entry
Message from the instructor: My corrections are very thorough and considered. I give comprehensive, detailed and accurate grammatical explanations. I have a great deal of writing experience (creative, formal, academic, technical) so I understand how best to achieve the desired tone and form of expression in any piece of writing. In the past I taught English Literature to university students, I currently teach poetry and I specialise in one-to-one mentoring and feedback; I think it's important to give each student the effort and attention they deserve, It's also important to encourage and nurture each student, to help them become the best writer they can be. You can expect my feedback to be extremely useful and very positive. I look forward to working with you.

Dear Cat90, Thanks for your collection and precise answer to my question. I could understand that "a staff" sounds like "a sand" or "a sugar" and the meaning is unclear. I try to use "a staff member" or "a employee" instead. Thanks again! Best regards, kazu10sumi
