Announcements: Dear customers I am going away for a holiday and will be back on the 22nd June. I will be available from then to read your compositions! Best wishes sprett08
Hobbies/Travel: I would say that travelling and reading are my favourite hobbies. When I travel, I really like to engage with and immerse myself as much as possible into the culture of the places I visit. I think this love of other lands and the wonderful people that populate them stems from my childhood experiences of living in Sierra Leone and Egypt, not to mention all the countries my parents took me to on holiday and the places I have been for work and study purposes. I have a strong connection with France: my father lived in Strasbourg for a few years and I speak French quite well. As an adult, I have visited Turkey, Tunisia, India, Nepal, the United States and the United Arab Emirates, and many European countries. I am very excited about planning to visit Japan in the next couple of years!
Message from the instructor: I provide an advanced text correction service and I am very excited about proofreading your compositions in order to support your endeavours in improving your English writing skills. I will read your work diligently, carefully checking the grammar, lexis, spellings and punctuation you have used. Any corrections I make will be in line with your chosen correction style, be it “Drastic Change”, “Minimal Change” or “No Preference”. I will also check that your expressions sound natural and amend them accordingly if needed, unless you have chosen the “Minimal Change” option. I will also conform to the formality type of your composition. Where you have made no errors and your composition is perfect, I will offer you alternative words and/or expressions to broaden your knowledge. All my corrections will be explained to you in a way that will support your understanding and learning. I have over five years of teaching English to speakers of other languages, along with proofreading work. As a learner of foreign languages, myself, I can understand the difficulties – as well as the pleasures – of language learning. Therefore, this combination of being a language teacher and a language learner puts me in an excellent position to explain to you how the English language functions. My teaching/instruction style is patient, encouraging and positive. It is my intention to play a part in your English language learning that motivates you and contributes to your enjoyment of learning.

Dear sprett08, Thank you very much for giving me really encouraging and helpful feedback!! You taught me so many natural and common ways to express things. Also, I learned many new interesting vocabularies and expressions. Thank you very much for giving me pension and investments-related information! I am not at all expert, but I understand that there are the same systems and consideration both in the UK and in Japan! Please take care, and have a lovely weekend!
