Announcements
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan
Hobbies/Travel
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and studying Japanese. My favorite country is Japan, where I live, although I'm from the USA and have family and many friends there. My most interesting visit to another country (besides Japan) was to South Korea in 2011. The highlight of that vacation was visiting the DMZ border of North Korea, which was a very intense experience.
Message from the instructor
My text correction style is somewhat minimalistic, unless a "drastic change" or "formal," etc. is requested, as I do my best to preserve customers' words and ideas, and although I'm strict about grammar and punctuation, I also try to be as intuitive as possible so that my corrections don't result in failing to get the point across that they're trying to make.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and useful comments as always. Your views about immigration issues in Japan are also insightful as they are overseen as a hidden problem by many Japanese!

    Thank you for correcting my essay. I enjoyed reading your comments and really appreciated your attention to detail. I not only learned a lot about the proper choice of articles and conjunctions but also knew the thinking process behind them, which allowed me to understand those matters more deeply than when I had studied English textbooks. I hope you will check my essay again soon.

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your detail review as usual. Actually, I have kept sending the essay on the daily basis, but probably the other reviewers checked them sooner than you. Anyway, I'm happy to meet with you here. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. Best Regards, Tucker
