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 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.

    Thsnk you for your quick response. I wanted to know whether my English sounded natural or not. If not, I wanted you to point out a part which did not sound natural.

    Tank you for your comments. "Built-in" is the sentence I want to explain! And I used "recording" which mean "recording conversation" you said in comments. So I think risk of spreading not-mine private information. Anyways, I can learn new sentences from your comments.Thank you!

    Thank you for correcting my English. Although I wrote the answer to your question on the essay of the last time---absent-minded, feeling bad,---I wanted to know whether you understood my explanation about it.

    I am sorry that because of lack of exlanation, you were not clear about the second sentence. Before I went to the gym, I had a sadden cramp in my guts and crapped in my pants in the restroom at the gym. Because of this incident, I felt bad about my crapping. After this incident, when I was absentminded, I was warned by a stranger. I hope my explanation cleared your question.

    Hi David, Thank you very much for correcting this essay and suggesting many alternatives as well as answering my question! Now I understood the meaning of "to bother"! It means "to reluctantly do something." In the future, I really hope I will enjoy cooking for ourselves. Have a great Sunday! Many thanks as always, Kaori

    Thank you for your quick reply. However, I wonder if it was better to say " I could not run fast to get them out of my way" than " I could not get them out of my way so I could run fast."

    Thank you for your quick reply. I wonder if it is not necessary to say "across" like the other way "across" the one way, which I thought would be more understandable.

    Hi David, Thank you for correcting this essay. Although I never hope for my family's illnesses, this is a good practice for me to write medical things in English. I will try to express various matters in English! Many thanks as always, Kaori

    Thank you for your quick edition. I like it. I am sorry that I missed the word " knife." You must have been confused. You are right that she wielded "a knife."
