Announcements
Hello, my name is Cat. I've been away from IDIY for a while, but now I'm back and I look forward to teaching you! Since I've been away, I've been a and Tutor and then a Lecturer in Creative Writing at a UK university, then I began teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages with the government. I also teach Creative writing freelance with all sorts of companies. I've come back to IDIY so I can do more work with students online. I like to teach students from all over the world and at all sorts of skill levels. I have many years' experience in both critiquing academic writing and in correcting English by foreign students. I can't wait to meet you! Cat

Message from the instructor
My corrections are very thorough and considered. I give comprehensive, detailed and accurate grammatical explanations. I have a great deal of writing experience (creative, formal, academic, technical) so I understand how best to achieve the desired tone and form of expression in any piece of writing. In the past I taught English Literature to university students, I currently teach poetry and I specialise in one-to-one mentoring and feedback; I think it's important to give each student the effort and attention they deserve, It's also important to encourage and nurture each student, to help them become the best writer they can be. You can expect my feedback to be extremely useful and very positive. I look forward to working with you.

    Dear Teacher Cat90, Thank you for your passionate corrections. I was moved. I want to be able to write English clear and natural. The illustration you told me is very deep and I will keep in mind. I will make an effort more! Best regards,

    I see, “the amount” is much easier to understand than “how much”. I’ll take note of it. Thanks!

    Dear Cat90, Hello. Thank you so much! Your explanations were very helpful as always. In addition, I thought you understood exactly what I wanted to mean. As you expected, I wanted to write about "seminars about general workplace-related mental health." I've become a bit more confident than before, encouraged by your comments. Thank you again. Sincerely, muckluck
