Announcements
My strengths: I am a writer, reader and editor, with a love of language. I have a wide vocabulary and a nuanced grasp of how to improve a piece of writing. I am able to explain things clearly.
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 for teaching me kindly. Regarding "Grit", I searched it again whether it is an acronym or not. According to a certain page about "grid" online said so in Japanese, but not original. I couldn't find the other page said the same way. So, it may not be truth. I wrote an essay recently, and I said " there are full of false information online, so we should be careful". This is saying to me! That's why I should better to be able to read English. I'll keep learning next year too. Thank you for your message about British/ American English. I'll try to avoid using British way/ American way in the same work. I hope you'll have a great new year!!

    Dear Susan, Thank you very much for the rewriting and correction, I did not expect to receive so thoroughly written feedback. It was really helpful and educational, beyond the level I was hoping for. I would like to thank you for your kind words too. Let me request your service when I write another piece of writing. Thank you!

    Thank you for your kind instructions as always. Some errors I made were basic errors. I should be more careful!! I got to know these; "transportation" is uncountable noun and methods of transport in the singular! We learn American English in school and American spelling is more familiar than British one, but I'll try to adopt it! I look forward to work with you next time!!
