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 very much, David I understand the subtle difference of nuances between "I think it is good not to try to stop hiccups." and "I think it's good not to do this". Your explain is enough to make me understand it. Thanks. Furthermore, thanks to your suggestions about what my sentence from "If I had to say 〜" means, I can call what I wrote to mind. I was almost fall off my chair sitting to laugh at that funny circumstance. Thank you: ) See you again!

    Thank you very much again, David I learn many useful grammars from my many mistakes! Everything is important for me. I should make efforts to become familiar with more natural English. For example, "Singapore boasts very clean streets" is the correct sentence. I made a mistake the subject "the cleanliness of Singapore's townscape" by conceiving in Japanese. I think it will take a long time to write English by conceiving in English. Thank you. I hope you have a great week!

    Thank you very much for careful correcting again. The difference between singular or plural is there so much that the meaning change, isn't there?! I appreciate that you see how my sentences are taken.You help much improve a sense of English wording. Also, You clearly answered what I thought to have a question, but I didn't, about singular or plural ( figures less than a full second). It is interesting! Thank you. Best regards,

    Thank you for correcting my composition again. I made some serious grammatical mistakes, for example I wrote the sentences which it sounds like "good health" is aware and "they are rarely aware when they are aware." I really like an optional expression, "People often take their health for granted." Besides, it is good that I can learn an accurate definition of "elite". The word "elite" is used with varying a little from the real meaning in Japan. For example, "Elites" is the word which indicate even the excellent employees of a leading company or the students of a leading university. The irrelevance to the original meaning of this kind is too common to enumerate. Best regards,

    Hello Teacher, I always appreciate your abundant penetrating feedbacks. Particular your options are really effective to improve my English skills. For example, what I wrote "Westernization was leading" has options; The Japanese economy was deeply affected xxx or, Westernization had a big impact on the Japanese economy xxx. I also surprised to see the rule of "a, an": a European and a university. Thank you so much for all your feedbacks.
