Hobbies/Travel
My passions are reading, writing, theatre and cinema. I go to the cinema or the theatre almost every evening, as I have a blog where I review the many plays and films I have seen. I also enjoy hiking, going to the gym and playing tennis - but I won’t pretend I’m as good at sports as I am at teaching! I enjoy visiting other countries, especially when I have the chance to immerse myself fully in another culture by living and working somewhere new. I have been lucky enough to spend time teaching in the USA and Germany, as well as in the UK. There is so much to explore in our world and I continue to do so! Eight years ago, I moved to Scotland, and I have fallen in love with both its cities and its scenery. It is a beautiful place to live.
Message from the instructor
Hello there! I am a highly-qualified teacher with thirty years’ practical experience (as of 2024). I have taught English and Drama in the UK, the USA and Germany. I love teaching because I like engaging with other people and sharing my passion for the subjects I excel in. I also love learning, and have continued to study throughout my working life. My text correction style can be either drastic or minimal, formal or informal. I am happy to help you with whatever level of feedback you require.

    Thank you as always. This champagne fragrance has a light smell and its last note is fruity, so It's good as a room spray. Wow, I should be careful more about spelling. Also, I have to practice such similar words to speak correctly.

    Thank you for assuming my original thoughts. It's useful to think of other options. Mr Mori has told such disappointing things since he was ex-president. I thought his political supporters got in a difficult position, but I was wrong. Many people still support Mr Mori because he was a strong connection with various fields. I'm not good at politics, so it was difficult to express my thoughts. However, thank you a lot. It's fun to read your comments!

    Thank you for your comments. I had fun reading them. I prefer to write about mild topics, such as flowers or shopping, but using social topics might be useful to learn new things. See you soon.
