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 super fast edition. I am glad to learn the past perfect is better in the third sentence like “ all the food had fallen to one side and the different dishes had mixed.”

    Hello dear David, Thank you very much for correcting my composition. Your explanation was very clear and detailed as always. I didn't know ''trail walking'' and ''halfway of'' were the wrong phrasing ... Your example sentences are always helpfull for me to understand, too. I really hope you would give me your lesson next time, too. Thanks again, have a nice day!

    I always thank you, David! I've learned a lot! I didn't know the way to use "their" instead of "his or her." How convenient! See you soon.

    Dear teacher David san Thank you for your prompt corrections and your understandable answer which always comes back with a lot of exsamples. Referring to my question, now that I have understood the syntax, I can compose example sentences: "Now that her children are grown up, she wants to start working again." and then in order to reverse the meaning, "even now that her children are grown up, she wants to take care of them." What confused me was that I had made a false cutting line and then I had read the sentence with the break line between "now" and " that." I think that consistant in word using is important and find "handwriting or typed" to be inconsistent. I should correct to "handwriting or typing" ,which describes actions more clearly. I see, X affects Y, while X has an effect on Y. I was taken aback that: "Thinking" uncountable and a common expression: "get my thoughts in order" Best regards,
