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 for your correction! I have to apologize to you for what I wrote. After I posted it, I searched about sunfish again. Then I found out many articles and comments about sunfish were fake! One of articles introduce a tweet that started this rumor. The person who posted this tweet apologized to followers, says that he didn't imagine the joke he made up would be shared with such a lot of people. I'm really sorry for telling you a piece of fake news. I will check everything if it's true before I tell someone. Please accept my apologies. Kind regards, Ayako Nara

Dear Catherine, Thank you for your correction! I also think that the topics Taiwanese young people talking about are much more mature than Japanese boys. Maybe I'm too hard on Japanese people. The grass is always greener on the other side. Again, thank you for your help as always! Best regards, Ayako Nara

Dear Catherine, Thank you very much for your correction and message! "To erupt in anger" is easy to remember. I can imagine myself became a volcano. Although my expression has been getting more strict due to my wrinkles, some students cannot read "between the lines," make me mad all the time. Again, thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Ayako Nara

Dear Catherine, Thank you very much for your help! I learned a lot of new expressions from your correction, and all of them were just what I wanted to say. Actually, I always think what the destiny is. I had a boss whom I really didn't like, but if she didn't hire my best friend and me, we couldn't get know each other. If I didn't get fired from a company, I had no chance to meet my husband. I think it's really interesting. Again, thank you for your support as always. Kind regards, Ayako Nara
