Certifications
I’ve spent the last few years teaching English, reviewing books, and writing my own, and somewhere along the way it all blended into something that feels like both work and home. The TEFL training helped, but most of what I’ve learned came from sitting with students, hearing their stories, and watching them find their way through a language that can feel endless at times. Each person shows up with their own history, their own rhythm, and I get to walk beside them for a little while. It’s simple, but it means a lot to me.
Announcements
My own path as a writer has shown me what storytelling and style can do. I’ve picked up things along the way, and I want to share them with you in a way that lifts your writing without forcing anything. Reading and reviewing books has taught me how many different ways a piece of writing can reach someone, and that perspective is something I bring into our work together.
Hobbies/Travel
When I’m not teaching, I’m usually buried in a book or sitting with my own words. Those two things feel like home to me, so I return to them whenever I can. I like moving my body too, whether I’m hitting the bag, running a few miles, shooting around, or trying to stay sharp over a chessboard. I try to nudge myself forward a bit each day. Nothing loud or flashy, just the small kind of progress that stacks quietly over time. Kaizen taught me that. It’s the idea that keeps me steady when I’m learning something new or pushing myself in training or trying to grow as a person.
Message from the instructor
Your success in English is what I'm here for. Helping people express themselves through words is not just my profession; it's my ikigai, my life's purpose. I want to understand what you need, what slows you down, and what you’re reaching for. From there, I can guide you in a way that feels personal, not generic, whether it’s your writing, your grammar, or just getting more comfortable using the language. We both care about learning. That’s why I’m here, not only to check your sentences, but to walk beside you while you keep getting better. If you’re working on essays, preparing for a test, or simply trying to enjoy writing more, I’m here for all of it. We’ll take each step as it comes and use every challenge as a chance to grow.

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you very much for your kind corrections and giving me heartful advice. I always learn a lot of things from your corrections and explanations. You suggested alternatives about "stood out with its fresh flavor," as "The grape jelly, especially, stood out with its refreshing sweetness," or "The grape jelly stood out, especially for its vibrant, fresh flavor." Your alternatives are exactly telling what I wanted to say. I wanted to express how special the taste of the grape jelly was. The taste of the grape jelly was the best of all the ingredients. I thought I could express what I felt if I felt really so and was eager to tell it to the readers. You gave me advice, "Keep that level of sincerity and thoughtfulness in your writing," which is a very powerful encouragement and precious to me. I will keep on practice. I am really grateful for your warm support. Best regards, atsuko5

    Dear MessageMentor, Your classes are always inspiring!! Thank you for educating me every day! I frequently reorder my sentences for better flow when writing in Japanese, but I find it challenging to do the same in English. Nevertheless, I will make an effort to improve and create sentences with a smoother flow. I look forward to your next class! Sincerely,

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you for educating me every day! I'm able to work on my writing every day while gaining various new knowledge thanks to you! Personaly speaking, I deeply regret taking a so long break (almost 10 years!) from studying English after passing the Eiken exam I was aiming for. That's why I have made it a daily routine to continue submitting assignments in your class. I really appreciate such an opportunity to take your lesson every day. I look forward to learning from you! Sincerely,

    Dear MessageMentor, I am cheered up by your encouragements and praises very much. They give me power and hope to tackle the difficult subject I have when writing English. The alternatives suggested by you are really beautiful such as, "The karaoke machine calculated my singing scores, which were consistently around eighty to ninety—above average—which made me really excited," instead of, "My singing scores calculated by the karaoke machine were around eighty to ninety, higher than average, that made me absolutely excited." The renewed sentence is direct and smooth, conveying the important information naturally. I always learn a lot of things from your corrections and I would like to come up with the right words to express my thoughts properly. I appreciate your kind support. Best regards, atsuko5

    Dear MessageMentor, Thank you for educating me every day! All of the English sentences I created were assessed as "良く出来ています," which was a great relief! However, your revised sentences are so sophisticated that I felt motivated to work harder. I've just finished reviewing your feedback, memorizing revised phrases, and completing my review notes! I will make it a daily habit to review today's assignment and check it again in the evening. I look forward to your next class! Sincerely,
