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.

    Hello Catherine, Thank you very much for your help! I totally agree with you. When I was in my twenties, my friend's mother said to me: "Keep this in mind, having a husband and having a kid is the same thing." Now I understood what she was saying. Thank you as alway. Kind reagards, Ayako Nara

    Hello Catherine, Thank you very much for your correction and message! When I was little, my mother made me apologize to farmers and God when I couldn't finish my food. I think it was good for a kid to think what food was. So I was shocked when I saw Chinese people threw food away without feeling any guilty and said "I paid for it." Have a nice weekend! Kind regards, Ayako Nara

Please say hello to your daughter for me :-) I'm also self-centered person because I don't want to listen a song like "She had it coming." It's cold today in Tokyo. I hope you are enjoying nice autumn wheather. Kind regards, Ayako Nra
