Announcements
* Please note that I am on leave for a few days and will return on Tuesday 3rd May. Thank you * I really enjoy working for IDIY as an English teacher. I am passionate about languages and respect and admire the enthusiasm and dedication of Japanese learners, who I find to be polite, thoughtful, determined, and hard-working. I return my orders within 12 hours, and often much sooner. I know how frustrating it can be to wait for a corrected document when you have deadlines to meet, so I always aim to return a very natural-sounding version of your writing, taking time over detail and with consideration for your audience and the nature of your document. I have a few regular customers with whom I enjoy exchanging short messages in the message box. I love to learn about Japanese culture and very much hope to visit Japan one day. I would love to be able to help you with your English! Best wishes, Catherine
Hobbies/Travel
My hobbies are running, cycling, walking and cooking. I also love to travel and experience different cultures, lifestyles and languages. I have visited Canada, America, South Africa, Thailand, Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Switzerland, Andorra and Holland. I would love to visit Australia, New Zealand and Japan! I also love to spend time with my family and explore France, where we moved to in 2014. I am married with two children, we have two cats and we live in a very beautiful and rural area in the South of France. In July 2021 we will be moving back to England.
Message from the instructor
I pride myself on my accuracy when correcting orders. I love to analyse languages and understand the etymology of words. I aim to correct orders in the most natural style possible so that you can learn to write and speak English as a native speaker.

    Dear Catherine, Thank you very much for your correction! For writing this composition, I checked some language school's websites. I couldn't stop imaging that I fill out the application form and input my credit card number, then I go there and enjoy studying English with classmates who came from a variety of countries. Doesn't it sound enjoyable? In the real world, I have to wait till I become a retired. Again, I really appreciate your help as always. Best regards, Ayako Nara

    Thank you for checking! I thought “complimentary” is a noun. Yes, it is! I mean it! Oh, I wanna find out the reason why it happens more in England someday! McDonalds’ “happy set” also comes with a complimentary toy in Japan! Actually, I had worked there when I was a university student. And the thing I got a complimentary gift yesterday is a pic of my profile now. It is cute, isn’t it?
