Certifications
I’ve spent the last few years teaching English, reviewing books, and writing my own, and somewhere along the way it all blended into something that feels like both work and home. The TEFL training helped, but most of what I’ve learned came from sitting with students, hearing their stories, and watching them find their way through a language that can feel endless at times. Each person shows up with their own history, their own rhythm, and I get to walk beside them for a little while. It’s simple, but it means a lot to me.
Announcements
My own path as a writer has shown me what storytelling and style can do. I’ve picked up things along the way, and I want to share them with you in a way that lifts your writing without forcing anything. Reading and reviewing books has taught me how many different ways a piece of writing can reach someone, and that perspective is something I bring into our work together.
Hobbies/Travel
When I’m not teaching, I’m usually buried in a book or sitting with my own words. Those two things feel like home to me, so I return to them whenever I can. I like moving my body too, whether I’m hitting the bag, running a few miles, shooting around, or trying to stay sharp over a chessboard. I try to nudge myself forward a bit each day. Nothing loud or flashy, just the small kind of progress that stacks quietly over time. Kaizen taught me that. It’s the idea that keeps me steady when I’m learning something new or pushing myself in training or trying to grow as a person.
Message from the instructor
Your success in English is what I'm here for. Helping people express themselves through words is not just my profession; it's my ikigai, my life's purpose. I want to understand what you need, what slows you down, and what you’re reaching for. From there, I can guide you in a way that feels personal, not generic, whether it’s your writing, your grammar, or just getting more comfortable using the language. We both care about learning. That’s why I’m here, not only to check your sentences, but to walk beside you while you keep getting better. If you’re working on essays, preparing for a test, or simply trying to enjoy writing more, I’m here for all of it. We’ll take each step as it comes and use every challenge as a chance to grow.

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you for your corrections and suggesting alternatives. Your alternatives always cheer me up, and I feel satisfied with the renewed sentences. For me, to come up with those detailed expressions is quite difficult. However, I think I am getting better at writing English with a good flow. I was surprised that you worked as a cook, and I thought you might be a good cook! I like cooking even though I make mistakes many times. I felt familiar with you. I will write about cooking sometimes. I appreciate your kind support. Best regards, atsuko5

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you very much for your kind correcting and suggesting alternatives. They improved my sentences and gave me power to try to write again. I am always impressed by your alternatives, because they make my sentences reborn and shine brightly. They are really beautiful and vivid. I try to create the sentences that could express my feeling while studying the usages of words and grammar, so it is quite difficult to do both of them fluently at the same time. Sometimes I am about to give up pursuing my aim to be a fluent English writer. However, as I read your beautiful alternatives and encouragements, I recover my courage and want to write again. I also appreciate your quotes every time. I would like to continue my journey and progress little by little. I am always grateful for your warm support. Best regards, atsuko5

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you very much for your correcting and suggesting alternatives. I was impressed with them, as they really effectively improve my sentences. I was also moved by your advice that I should add more details to my sentences. I think the reason why I didn't come up with the details was because I didn't think extendedly enough about the feeling I tried to explain. I want to write sentences that have a strong message and I want to draw reader's interests. I think I need to ponder more deeply what to write when I try to express my feelings. I need to do so besides increasing my vocabularies. Your suggesting alternatives gives me a lot of hints. I am always grateful for your kinds support. Best regards, atsuko5

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you for your kind corrections and suggesting alternatives. They improved my sentences so much. I have a lot of wills to express my thoughts and feelings well, but my vocabularies and grammar are insufficient. I always study the grammar and pay attentions to create each stories at the same time, but I tend to get absorbed in developing new ideas for next story. Writing is very fun for me, and your suggestions and encouragements make it more interesting. I appreciate the quotation that you gave for me. It encouraged me a lot, as it is saying that even the routine holds something special. I like discovering something nice in every day routines that makes my life shine! I am always grateful for your warm support. Best regards, atsuko5

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you for your kind corrections and giving me warm advice. They encouraged me a lot. To write native-sounding sentences is very difficult for me, but it would be a great pleasure to master it. As you said, I would like to continue quiet and steady steps every day.
