Announcements
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan
Hobbies/Travel
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and studying Japanese. My favorite country is Japan, where I live, although I'm from the USA and have family and many friends there. My most interesting visit to another country (besides Japan) was to South Korea in 2011. The highlight of that vacation was visiting the DMZ border of North Korea, which was a very intense experience.
Message from the instructor
My text correction style is somewhat minimalistic, unless a "drastic change" or "formal," etc. is requested, as I do my best to preserve customers' words and ideas, and although I'm strict about grammar and punctuation, 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 appreciate your advice. In this exercise of the parent's email, I believe that their house is extremely sturdy, so they are concerned about the running course more than their own house haha Have a nice week. Mashroom

    Thank you, as always. It's difficult for me to choose appropriate adjectives to characterize other people.

    Thank you for your concern about my eyes and Thank you for your correction advice. Surgery is not urgent, so I will think about it carefully. As my English is not good enough, I didn’t clearly understand how to use comma properly in sentences. I would like to review it and understand one by one. Best regards, Tomoko

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your detail review as usual! This composition includes some spell mistakes. This is because I made this composition in my PC (usually, I use my smartphone), and the input screen on PC doesn't have autofill function... Anyway, I will be careful about spell mistakes. I'm looking forward to meeting with you here. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear Tom, Thank you for correcting my writing again. I understand your explanation. It’s too cold here to go to the cafe today. I think the Boso Peninsula of Chiba is warmer than my place ( I often go to Boso area for sightseeing!). Stay warm and do not catch a cold! Kind regards, wako38

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your detail review as usual. The preposition usage is my issue, and I’ll keep making an effort to improve it. Your episode about the Perfume fans sounded interesting because I have watched the documentary movies of their US tour. Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to meeting with you soon. Beat Regards Tucker
