Certifications: I am a native English speaker. I have taught the English language for many years. I have a Diploma In Proofreading and Editing and a Bachelor of Business Studies Degree. I have also learned several foreign languages myself so I do understand the processes involved with learning a new language.
Announcements: English is an extremely enjoyable and rewarding language to learn. It can also be challenging. However, I provide easy-to-understand instructions so that a student can get a good understanding of the English language. I like to provide lots of examples of different grammatical concepts so that students can see the way we use different words and phrases in sentences. I am a very friendly person, and I look forward to helping people improve their skills so that they can become more confident in their ability to read, write, and speak the English language.
Hobbies/Travel: I have many interests and hobbies. I really like animals. I also really enjoy music and I play the flute. I am very keen on reading, especially novels and non-fiction books about history. I also like to cook and I find baking lots of fun. I have done some overseas travel. I have been to Australia quite a few times and once I visited the Cook Islands. I am really interested in learning other languages. One of the other languages that I have studied is Japanese. I really enjoyed it. It is so good to be able to communicate with people from other countries. I am a very friendly person and I do like to talk with people and help them when they are in need.
Message from the instructor: I am a native English speaker and I have also spent time learning several foreign languages. I do understand the necessary steps that are involved with learning a language. I like to help people understand more about the English language. In order to become more confident in reading, writing, and speaking in English, it is necessary for each individual to gain a good appreciation of grammatical rules. It is also important to understand the most natural way to express thoughts and intentions in English. I will provide informative corrections to help build understanding and confidence and maximize potential and language fluency.

Hello, NicolaJH. It's nice to see you here again. Thank you for the corrections you made on my essay. Your nice messages make me happy, especially the comment "Your writing skills are consistently improving." makes me very happy. Thank you. "the" and "a" are always mystery for me. A particular thing that everyone recognizes it needs "the." but, very confusing for me. This winter we have had unusual heavy snow falls in my town, which first came at the Christmas time. It's nice to have snow during Christmas. But, it hadn't stopped until the first week of the new year. I hate walking on an icy cold road. I think I'm not designed to walk or drive on such a road. This morning, I found a slight sign of the coming spring in bright sun lights. I hope to see you soon again. Bye for now. Yoko

Hi NicolaJH, Thank you for the very detailed reviews and lots of alternatives! I really appreciate them, but I have a question about “home” vs “at home“. I see some sentences using just “home” as follows. ・I’m home. ・What time will you be home? How to define a sentence using “at” before home and not using "at" before home? Thank you in advance! I’m looking forward to asking you to check my next compositions again soon! Best regards, Kohei
