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, Thank you for renovating my manuscript to a natural expression. People sometimes ask me for directions on campus but I was not able to answer fluently. So, your feedback was very helpful to me. When I am asked next time, I will be able to answer better than before. You are correct. I live in Santa Cruz, which is near SF. Santa Cruz is a local town but rich in nature. I can enjoy a comfortable climate under the blue sky so I recommend you to come here for your vacation when you have time! Anyway, thank you again for your kind feedback. Best regards,

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your detail explanations as usual. Your guess about my unclear usage of the word "area" is correct. Basically, I used the word "area" as the meaning of "ethnicity". I found that it was difficult for the readers to understand my intention of this composition. Thank you for your advice. Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting with you here. Best Regards, Tucker
