Announcements
I am a Canadian-born native English speaker now residing in Costa Rica. I have a university degree and a post-graduate certificate in G.I.S. (Geographical Information Systems) from McMaster University. I have visited many cultures for extended periods of time and teach children English in an area where there is no opportunity to practice. I understand the frustrations and excitement of learning a new language and way of thinking. My proofreading style encompasses three areas: 1) checking your English for grammatical errors and use of everyday English; 2) making sure your meaning comes across to the reader even though it is crossing both language and cultural differences; 3) offering suggestions to improve the style and construction of your composition. I enjoy working for IDIY and their clients because I enjoy teaching while at the same time it gives me the opportunity to learn about the Japanese culture.
Hobbies/Travel
My hobbies include breeding and photographing horses, horseback riding, making cheese and gardening. My favorite countries are Canada, Costa Rica, and Indonesia. I have also visited the Solomon Islands, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, England, Spain, Italy, Fiji, and the U.S.A.

    Thank you very much for your teaching me about pineapples. It must be delicious. Costa Rica is full of nature and so, you are surrounded by delicious foods. I envy you. We imports a lot of food from many foreign countries. We depend on import. But there are a lot of good cooks in Japan. So we can eat delicious dishes. In Japan one of two people suffers from a cancer. There are many kinds of problem in Japan. I'm tired for living in Asian area. I hope you have much happiness on everyday.
