Announcements
I am available every day, and I usually respond within 24 hours. I will be on vacation from September 22 to October 6. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
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.

    Hello David, Thank you very much for your correction and message! Actually I wanted to add as follows as definitions of 'ikari wo kau'. When 'ikari wo kau' is used: The person who gets angry is likely to be superior or haughty nature. Something bad tends to happen to the person who endures the anger. I haven't thought about Japanese word's meanings like that. I noticed how hard it is to learn language as a second language.. Please have a lovely weekend! Miho

    Thank you for correcting my essay. I wanted to know about how to use a GPS copied map.

    Thank for your quick responce. However, Is " a good memory" a natural English? I though " "the good old days" might have been better in the second sentence. I will be glad if you correct my English so it sounds more natural to you, instead of my Japanized English.

    Hi David, Thank you very much for correcting this essay and offering a lot of alternatives! I like your "If he'd had a sympathetic ear to share his problems with..." This is fascinating! And I'm impressed by "His behavior is surprising but understandable given his position." This is concise and I really want to express my opinions in such a pithy way. Have a lovely Monday! Many thanks as always, Kaori

    Thank you for correcting my English and taking example sentences. Also, I'm glad you gave me advice about my next goal: going through the drive-through at McDonald's. I appreciate it.

    Thank you for your quick reply. However, I have misspelled in the second sentence. It is not ...the exit in "recent years" but it should be ...the exit in the "yard." It must have confused you. Thank you for your advice. You are right. I parked my car "inside" the Church. I should have written "in" the church, not at the church. Thanks to your advice, I have known the difference in usage between "in" and "at."

    I learnt many things -"based on the tone of", the difference between "in" and "for" and so - this time too. Also, thank you for answering my questions. Thank you for always helping me.

    Hello David, Thank you very much for your correction! It was so helpful to me as always. By the way, this type of bosses might have existed before, but now proper communication skills are required for everyone, so it seem hard to be found lately. Please have a lovely day. Miho

    Thank you for your quick responce to my eassy. I would have been happier if you told me whether you would have the same experience as mine --receiving an email from strangers with the same name of your acquaintances.

    Thank you for correcting my English. You are right. It happened in the past. I should have put" once" in the first sentence as I saw it in the past.. Thank you for letting me know it.

    Hello David, Thank you for your correction. I forgot to change the order of the name this time! However, I am always not sure how to pronounce foreign names in English. I have to look them up even if I'm familiar with them in 'katakana'. (I think you must have noticed the complexity ..) Thank you very much and I am looking forward to the next time! Miho
