Announcements
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan.
Hobbies/Travel
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and studying Japanese. My favorite country is Japan, where I live, although I'm from the USA and have family and many friends there. My most interesting visit to another country (besides Japan) was to South Korea in 2011. The highlight of that vacation was visiting the DMZ border of North Korea, which was a very intense experience.
Message from the instructor
My text correction style is somewhat minimalistic, unless a "drastic change" or "formal," etc. is requested, as I do my best to preserve customers' words and ideas, and although I'm strict about grammar and punctuation, 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.

    My apologies for the late reply. Thank you for your corrections and detailed explanations. I learned a lot of new things. The final game was also really exciting! I wasn’t able to watch it live due to work, though. I look forward to taking your lesson again.

    Thank you for your feedback! Your suggestions were easy to follow and very helpful as always. As you mentioned, a four-day workweek might have some disadvantages. I’ve been resting a lot, and my study time has been becoming shorter since the beginning of Golden Week..
