Announcements
I am available every day, and I usually respond within 24 hours.
Hobbies/Travel
I enjoy reading (especially Harry Potter and Haruki Murakami), writing (fiction as well as academic papers), playing piano, playing video games (especially Japanese RPGs), and studying the Japanese language. My favorite country that I have visited is Japan! There are so many amazing things to see in your country!
Message from the instructor
I will be happy to help you produce clear, accurate English compositions while giving you additional information on how English works. I appreciate how difficult it must be for Japanese speakers to learn English, and so I will try my best to help you learn the language's complexities. I pay very close attention to details. In particular, I am sensitive to small nuances in meaning. I have studied some Japanese (although I am still a beginner), so I have an idea how different the two languages are. As a result, I can sometimes see what the original intention was according to Japanese grammar, and I can try to find a natural English equivalent. I am available to correct texts any day. I will be able to correct the text within 24 hours.

    Thank you for your quick edtion. I think “parts” is better than “series” to describe each separate book of the same book as I am familiar to “parts.”

    Thank you for your quick edtion and suggestion. As you suggested, I feel a bit awkward about the last sentence. I think it is better to say in the present tense, “ When I buy a book, I read it at the coffee shop the shop has” because I do it regularly.

    Thank you for your quick edtion. As you suggested, I felt a little strange about the last sentence. Therefore, I think it is better to say,” When I buy a book, I read it at the coffee shop the shop has,” It is because I do it habitually or regularly.

    Hi David, Thank you for your comments for my writing. I read your comments again and again. It is always helpful, and this time I was able to use a few sentences at work. Sorry for my late reply. I was a bit busy and finally caught a flu, but now I am getting better. Take care of yourself. Looking forward to studying with you soon. Mandys (Makiko)

    Thank you for your quick edtion. I am glad to know the difference between “a” and “the”. “a” is used when introducing it for the first time, even when there is just one object.

    Dear Mr. David, Hello. How are you? Thank you for your comments. We live in far East region and there are very significant differences between Japanese and English. Your detail explanations and alternative examples are very helpful for me. I highly appreciate your kind help. Best regards, H. Fukuoka

    David, Thank you so much for your check! I really enjoyed reading your advice and it's so clear to understand. Now I've been in Arizona in the States for about a year, as my husband job, and have oppotunities to speak English. You know, when we talk, we pay more attention to what the speaker wants to say than the grammar. So I'd like to brush my English through writing practice. Again, thank you for your help and great advice! Have a great rest of the weekend! Rumika
