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 edition. I am glad to know you would say" at the front," "on the top," and "on the sides" of the hard."

    Thank your for your quick responce. I am glad to know "seats" are better than chairs in viecles like trains and cars. "There are three seats with spaces between them in each row" is exactly what I meant. Thank you very much and I am sorry to make you misunderstand it because of the lack of my explanation.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I am glad to know "be able to" is better than could because it is not clear whether it is conditional.

    Hello Mr. David, Thank you very much for your corrections. I was impressed it was so quick! I'm glad you've understood what I tried to write. " We practiced acting them out as well." This is the sentence what I wanted to write! Thank you very much again and best wishes, Isabel

    Thank you for your quick responce. I wonder whether it is natural to say " straighten out" my pajamas which are wrinkled and which sleeves are turned inward.

    Thank you for your quick responce. I wanted to know why you delete "it" in the last sentence: I tend to drink.

    I used "recover" for the meaning compensate, solve or decrease. Next, I used "load" means burden. I think your correction is appropriate approximately. Thank you.

    Hello, David! Thank you again for your wonderful instruction! 1. 'Merging' to Merging My intention of using those scare quotes was to simply emphasize the word. Because, in Japanese, we can frequently use quotation marks (「」) just to highlight something. So, I confused two languages but your clear explanation helped me understand what my error was. Thank you! 2. "Japanese liquor" vs "a Japanese liquor" Actually, I used "a Japanese liquor" at first but changed it to "Japanese liquor" later. The reason? My Microsoft Word's auto correct told me so! I didn't know why "a Japanese liquor" was wrong but just followed the software. I really shouldn't have stopped thinking and followed the machine. From the next time, I will write with my own brains as a human. Thank you for your other detailed instructions, clear answers for my questions and inspiring alternative sentences as well. Have a nice weekend too!
