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 Catymcd, Thank you for your correction of my sentences and messages. I could understand the points clearly. "What we thought was right", I must memorize it as one phrase. I will have many chances to use this phrase. Regards, Kmk

Thank you for editing my English essay. I waited for this eassy to be edited for a long time and I thought it would take time to edit this essay as it was difficult. Although it took time for the essay to be edited, there were a few changes in my essay. I was a bit disappointed.
