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 review. That was easy for me to understand as usual. I have been to Colosseum in Rome, and as you said, I can’t understand why Dimitorov has such a ridiculous idea… Anyway, I feel that it is important to raise awareness about the value of historical heritage sites. I’m looking forward to working with you soon. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear Tom, I'm sorry for being late because I had stayed in Tokyo for business last week. Thank you for your help. I didn't know that there is a difference between "talk" and "talks" in meaning. It's good to hear that you live in Japan and you've got goldfish at a festival. I used to have goldfish as pets when I was a child. I look forward to working with you soon. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Thank you as always. The use of the definite and indefinite articles is very difficult for us, Japanese learners.

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your polite explanation. It was very logical and helpful to improve my English composition skills. Regarding the phrase “dominant poison”, you’re correct, it was a misspelling word by automatic completion function. Sorry… Anyway, I always appreciate your kind and cheerful message. I’m looking forward to working with you again. Best Regards, Tucker

    I really appreciated your very detailed explanation of the use of "the"." It is very interesting to hear that the "Internet" will also change in time. Your careful explanations are always very useful for my review.
