Announcements
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan.
Hobbies/Travel
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and studying Japanese. My favorite country is Japan, where I live, although I'm from the USA and have family and many friends there. My most interesting visit to another country (besides Japan) was to South Korea in 2011. The highlight of that vacation was visiting the DMZ border of North Korea, which was a very intense experience.
Message from the instructor
My text correction style is somewhat minimalistic, unless a "drastic change" or "formal," etc. is requested, as I do my best to preserve customers' words and ideas, and although I'm strict about grammar and punctuation, I also try to be as intuitive as possible so that my corrections don't result in failing to get the point across that they're trying to make.

    Dear Tom, You don't care about the delay. Or rather, I don't even think your reply is late. When I saw corrected sentences for me, you had already finished writing all your postscripts. I appreciate the detailed explanation of the grammar. I have been told many times that I have been using the comma incorrectly. I believe my grammar will be getting better for your advice. Thanks for your sympathy to my mom. My mom's surgery went well today. I am sure you are worried about your mother who lives far away. I wish you could see her from time to time. Regards, Kiwano64444
