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 help. I'm so glad to be able to share this story with you! I think that teachers also have responsibility to tell children the meaning of learning the subject. I was shocked when I knew that calculus was essential for architecture several years later of graduation. If I knew it, it should have been much interesting, I guess. Again, thank you very much for your correction! Kind regards, Ayako Nara

    Dear Catherine, Thank you very much for your correction and message! Yesterday, I heard that the school (my former workplace was a college) was suffering from a shortage of applicants. Maybe the boss is now wondering why the constant communication with colleagues didn't work.. I hope you have a nice weekend! Regards, Ayako Nara

    Dear Catymcdsun. Thank you very much for your quick reply. This book has been sold more than one million in five months. Surprisingly the original piece was published eighty years ago! It was republished as manga or comic book arranged in contemporary last year. Although I read the novel one, it was good. I'll submit my manuscript soon. Thank you very much. Best regards. Yoko
