Announcements: I am a Canadian-born native English speaker now residing in Costa Rica. I have a university degree and a post-graduate certificate in G.I.S. (Geographical Information Systems) from McMaster University. I have visited many cultures for extended periods of time and teach children English in an area where there is no opportunity to practice. I understand the frustrations and excitement of learning a new language and way of thinking. My proofreading style encompasses three areas: 1) checking your English for grammatical errors and use of everyday English; 2) making sure your meaning comes across to the reader even though it is crossing both language and cultural differences; 3) offering suggestions to improve the style and construction of your composition. I enjoy working for IDIY and their clients because I enjoy teaching while at the same time it gives me the opportunity to learn about the Japanese culture.
Hobbies/Travel: My hobbies include breeding and photographing horses, horseback riding, making cheese and gardening. My favorite countries are Canada, Costa Rica, and Indonesia. I have also visited the Solomon Islands, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, England, Spain, Italy, Fiji, and the U.S.A.
Message from the instructor: My text correction style encompasses three areas: 1) checking your English for grammatical errors and use of everyday English; 2) making sure your meaning comes across to the reader even though it is crossing both language and cultural differences; 3) offering suggestions to improve the style and construction of your composition.

Dear Desiree, Thank you for your useful comments. I did not know about the average number of words of English sentences as I had thought that longer sentences look smarter.

Hello, Desiree. How are you ? It's nice to see you here again, and thank you for the amendments you made on my essay. Also, you wrote me the explanations for the amendment on the expression, thank you. There was a shocking news last week. Ex prime minister Shinzo Abe was shot to death while he was making a speech on the street in Nara city. People blame the security guards who were supposed to protect him, because the killer shot him only three meters behind. It is interesting that many people say he was a nice person and a great prime minister, although they said about him differently before. Anyway, I can't believe such a terrible thing happened in my country. Stay safe in many ways Bye for now. Yoko
