Message from instructor
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan.
Hobbies / favorite countries / countries visited
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and continuing to improve my Japanese language skills. Lately, learning and understanding the meaning of lyrics to Japanese songs I like has become a fun project.
Approach to corrections
I try to preserve a customer's original words and writing style as much as possible unless "drastic change," "formal," "casual," etc. is requested. I also try to be as intuitive as possible so that my corrections don't result in failing to get the point across that they're trying to make.

    Dear Tom, I'm pleasantly surprised that you discovered my writing not before long, and I'm glad about it. Your detailed explanations and thoughts are very helpful for understanding English grammar, although I need to look up the terms you use to deconstruct the sentences. Additionally, the sentence you revised now makes sense. I felt awkward writing that sentence but couldn't pinpoint why.

    Dear Tom, Your review and explanation were very helpful. I wrote the short essay in a way that felt right to me, but I couldn't articulate why. Your analysis and explanation of why it was correct greatly aided my understanding of the grammar. I hope my writing crosses your path again.

    Thank you for your explanations and suggestions. I never hate the coworker, but I just didn’t really feel like talking with him because I was exhausted from work. (The way home from work is a 30-minute walk!) I look forward to taking your lesson again.

    Thank you for your explanations and suggestions. Actually, “I decided not to go to a drinking party” is just an instance and not the exact statement corrected on IDIY. I look forward to taking your lesson again.
