Message from instructor
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan.
Hobbies / favorite countries / countries visited
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and continuing to improve my Japanese language skills. Lately, learning and understanding the meaning of lyrics to Japanese songs I like has become a fun project.
Approach to corrections
I try to preserve a customer's original words and writing style as much as possible unless "drastic change," "formal," "casual," etc. is requested. I also try to be as intuitive as possible so that my corrections don't result in failing to get the point across that they're trying to make.

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your detail review as usual. The preposition usage is my issue, and I’ll keep making an effort to improve it. Your episode about the Perfume fans sounded interesting because I have watched the documentary movies of their US tour. Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to meeting with you soon. Beat Regards Tucker
