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 informative review as usual! Honestly, it is difficult for me to use proper prepositions as you know, but your explanation about it is very helpful and I’ll keep trying. I’m looking forward to meeting with you soon. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear Tom, Good morning too. I'm glad that my entry was almost perfect! As you said, I'm also looking forward to fall because I don't like using the air conditioner. If you keep checking for the tree, you fill find the situation I described even if in winter! Thank you for helping me, and I hope you have a great day. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Hello again. I appreciate your help. It's difficult to use the words "more" and "better" correctly, so I want to learn more about it. (plus comma splice) I guess the logic behind my two-step program is to cover teeth with substances from teeth-paste after blushing. I hope you also have a great day! Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Hello, Tom! Thank you for checking my entry. I went to the restaurant again with the woman yesterday, and we didn't have any messes as you said because I had told it before. I really enjoyed the lunch. I look forward to working with you again soon. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Thank you again for working for my entry. That night was really fun so I drunk too much. I've never been to Chiba, so I'm a little surprised that there are few foreigners there regardless of next to Tokyo. I wish I could describe what comma splice is as you said next time. I hope you have a good weekend. Best regards, m-yoshiro
