Certifications: I have five years' experience teaching in UK schools and experience teaching English in French schools. I hold a TEFL qualification. I currently work as an English teacher in France, offering written and oral lessons in person or over Skype. I have a university degree in French and German.
Announcements: * Please note that I am on leave for a few days and will return on Tuesday 3rd May. Thank you * I really enjoy working for IDIY as an English teacher. I am passionate about languages and respect and admire the enthusiasm and dedication of Japanese learners, who I find to be polite, thoughtful, determined, and hard-working. I return my orders within 12 hours, and often much sooner. I know how frustrating it can be to wait for a corrected document when you have deadlines to meet, so I always aim to return a very natural-sounding version of your writing, taking time over detail and with consideration for your audience and the nature of your document. I have a few regular customers with whom I enjoy exchanging short messages in the message box. I love to learn about Japanese culture and very much hope to visit Japan one day. I would love to be able to help you with your English! Best wishes, Catherine
Hobbies/Travel: My hobbies are running, cycling, walking and cooking. I also love to travel and experience different cultures, lifestyles and languages. I have visited Canada, America, South Africa, Thailand, Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Switzerland, Andorra and Holland. I would love to visit Australia, New Zealand and Japan! I also love to spend time with my family and explore France, where we moved to in 2014. I am married with two children, we have two cats and we live in a very beautiful and rural area in the South of France. In July 2021 we will be moving back to England.
Message from the instructor: I pride myself on my accuracy when correcting orders. I love to analyse languages and understand the etymology of words. I aim to correct orders in the most natural style possible so that you can learn to write and speak English as a native speaker.

Dear Catherine, Thank you very much for your correction and conforting message! Fortunately, my boss went back to Japan this morning and I w ill move to a single room tonight (I have five more days here). I finally found that pieces of relaxing music on Youtube work very well. Please try them when your sleep was disturbed by loudy sound. Many people told me that Mongolian cuisine is awful, however, it seems like to be a long time ago. They have accepted a variety of taste from other countries, now provide delicious dishes. Again, thank you very much for your help as always. Best regards, Ayako Nara
