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.

    Hello, Desiree. How are you doing? I'm happy to hear from you again here. Thank you for the amendments you made on my essay. I'm happy to read your nice comments, too. Your corrections all make perfect sense to me. Yes, the inflation and recession are hurting us, like you said. However, lately, I see peculiar phenomenon, a huge number of foreign tourists in Shibuya, Tokyo. Because of the weak Yen, everything is inexpensive in Japan for foreigners. At a regular restaurant, a popular set lunch costs ¥1500, that is about US.$10. That must be a way to cheep for Americans. I can easily imagine how fun it is! I'll take a short break, and a while later, come back to IDIY. I will see you then, again.
 Take care! Kind regards, Yoko

    Thank you for your advice. I mean the femininity that exists in everyone. Men also have the side of feminine like taking care of animals, nature, children with compassion, generosity and resilience.

    Hello, Disiree, How are you doing? Yes, It's been a while since the last time I studied with you. I'm happy to hear from you again here. Thank you for the amendments you have made on my essay. Also, I'm happy to read your nice comments. Your corrections all make perfect sense to me, and I enjoyed reading the phrases and wordings you have written, as they were very interesting to me. ”appropriate (to them) monetary compensation.”is a perfect correction, that's what I meant to say. Thank you. It's been unusually hot here in Japan, and additionally, two typhoons are coming. I hope the typhoon will wipe the hot and humid air away. I hope to see you soon again.
 Take care! Kind regards, Yoko

    Hello, Desiree, How are you? It's nice season in the year, we enjoy pleasant weather, fresh greeneries, beautiful flowers. Finally, people go outside without wearing a mask in Japan. I still prefer to wear a mask the inside of a building, in a train and stations. I think it is not for my safety but for keeping comfortableness between people. Thank you for the amendments you made on my essay. Your comments flattered me a lot, and encourage me to write the next. You gave me some good knowledges. The use of "citizen" is quite interesting. I like the phrase, "expose an ugly side". "their authority" not "their authorities", because when it means power, it's uncountable noun, which I found in dictionary. I hope to see you soon again. Bye for now. Yoko
