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 explanation as usual. It was very informative for me, especially the explanation about the usage of comma. Honestly, it is difficult for non-native speakers like me to find it by ourselves, so it was very helpful. I will enjoy the race to achieving 1000 compositions with you! Anyway, I always appreciate your supports. I’m looking forward to working with you soon. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear Tom, Hello again. Yeah, it was very fun dinner. Thank you for giving me a lot of explanations and they were helpful for me. I know "SmallTalk" as a computer language because I'm a software engineer, but I can't use it. I hope you have a great rest of the day. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Thank you again for working for my entry and giving me your ideas about the topic. As you said, mental unhealthy would happen due to just one person, even if there is no environmental issue. Anyway, I look forward to working with you again soon. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Hello again too. Thank you for working for my entry, and I learned something about comma and the word "all" from you. It's also a good opportunity to think about if repeating word in this case is correct or not. I hope you have a great day. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Hello again too. Thank you for checking my entry. I didn't noticed that I've already written 432 entries. I also appreciate you to give me explanations, especially about "that" vs "which". I often confuse which I should choose. I hope you have a great rest of the day, and stay safe. Best regards, m-yoshiro
