Announcements
I am available every day and I usually respond within 24 hours.
Hobbies/Travel
I enjoy reading (especially Harry Potter and Haruki Murakami), writing (fiction as well as academic papers), playing piano, playing video games (especially Japanese RPGs), and studying the Japanese language. My favorite country that I have visited is Japan! There are so many amazing things to see in your country!
Message from the instructor
I will be happy to help you produce clear, accurate English compositions while giving you additional information on how English works. I appreciate how difficult it must be for Japanese speakers to learn English, and so I will try my best to help you learn the language's complexities. I pay very close attention to details. In particular, I am sensitive to small nuances in meaning. I have studied some Japanese (although I am still a beginner), so I have an idea how different the two languages are. As a result, I can sometimes see what the original intention was according to Japanese grammar, and I can try to find a natural English equivalent. I am available to correct texts any day. I will be able to correct the text within 24 hours.

    Dear Teacher David san @2) We are talking about online services overall rather than a specific set of them, so we say "online services" without "the." *In Japanese there is no word like "the" and I am always at loss how to use it. But this time I am about to get the point. "talking overall" means without "the ." @If you wanted this to apply to "including IDIY," I would put it at the end of the sentence so it's next to that point: "I enjoy online services, including IDIY naturally." *This time, it is my intention to apply to "including IDIY,". Thank you. @2) We "agree to (a contract, terms of service, etc.)," so we say "agree to its regulations." Note that this is different from "agree with (someone)," which means we have the same opinion as this person. *I see the difference. I have noticed that generally before a person, "with" comes. @3) We usually "choose" or "select" in this situation. "Put in" sounds to me more like you type this word here, which is usually not how this process works (there's usually a yes/no option that you click instead). * I see,I prefer "select." @4) In a comparison using "as" with an uncountable noun like "information," we say "as little as possible" instead of using "less": "as little information as possible." We use "less" in a comparison that doesn't use "as": "I have less information than her." * I understand. In Japanese, we have "more"or"most", but do not have "less" or "least" which are an inferior comparison?? It is a difficult point for me. @ (we do, however, use the plural "troubles" to talk about our worries overall). *This explanation is useful for me. I see "troubles" means our worries overall in a daily life. @Instead, I would say "such problems" or "such issues." I slightly prefer talking about them in general with the plural here instead of using the singular with "a/an." * I see what you mean. I agree with you. 2) "Underneath" sounds a little awkward to me here. "On the sly" already makes this meaning clear so I recommend removing "underneath." * I tried to use "on the sly",which I newly learned. 3) "Do not come up to the surface" is correct, but it's an uncommon way to express this. As an optional recommendation, I prefer "do not happen on the surface" or "are not readily apparent." *I see. I prefer "Such issues are not readily apparent." It sounds me very much of native tastes. Thank you for reading my sentences.

    Thank you for your super fast edition and I am happy to learn we do not need “ but” in front of “not getting good results” in the last sentence.
