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.

    Thank you! It's so good to know that the word 'image" doesn't mean what I thought it would mean.

    Dear Catherine, Thank you very much for your correction! I really recommend you to play relaxing games the end of a hectic day. However, the kind of games tend to make you addicted easily, so please be careful. Actually, I was addicted a few years ago, although I had looked down on people who cannot stop playing games. I didn't know that games were such powerful. Again, I really appreciate your help. Best regards, Ayako Nara

    Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for working with me again. I could learn the way to use "the Japanese" and "Japanese people" this time. Additionally, I really agree with your thoughts. I have to respect the people who I talk to. Thank you again and have a good day. I'm looking forward to your great lesson again. Kind regards, Yujin
