Announcements
Hello, my name is Cat. I've been away from IDIY for a while, but now I'm back and I look forward to teaching you! Since I've been away, I've been a and Tutor and then a Lecturer in Creative Writing at a UK university, then I began teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages with the government. I also teach Creative writing freelance with all sorts of companies. I've come back to IDIY so I can do more work with students online. I like to teach students from all over the world and at all sorts of skill levels. I have many years' experience in both critiquing academic writing and in correcting English by foreign students. I can't wait to meet you! Cat

Message from the instructor
My corrections are very thorough and considered. I give comprehensive, detailed and accurate grammatical explanations. I have a great deal of writing experience (creative, formal, academic, technical) so I understand how best to achieve the desired tone and form of expression in any piece of writing. In the past I taught English Literature to university students, I currently teach poetry and I specialise in one-to-one mentoring and feedback; I think it's important to give each student the effort and attention they deserve, It's also important to encourage and nurture each student, to help them become the best writer they can be. You can expect my feedback to be extremely useful and very positive. I look forward to working with you.

    Thanks a lot! Your advise is very helpful, especially, the expression "as if 'way' were a zone" is so impressive and easy to understand. I intended to express the term "major" as one's speciality and technical field. For example, "what is your major in university." Best regards, Kenji

    Thank you for your correction! Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Actually, although I’ve caught a cold and my head aches badly now, I can understand what you say. I'm sorry I'm becoming not sure what I am writing... I want to say thank you.

    Thanks! With “they get what they did ...”, I wanted to say just what you kindly wrote. It’s a Buddist thought, karmic retribution, old but deeply rooted in Japan.
