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, how are you? I see, 'at the time' is a good word. Thank you. Tense in sentences is sometimes difficult to choose. I remember when I was a child like elementary school student, it was said that during exercise or sports people shouldn't take water because it caused problems on the heart. It is opposite to the current advice. I don't know why... I try to drink much water. I believe it's good for my health. Take care and see you next time. Yoko

    Hello, catymcd, How are you? You wrote me interesting word choices, like, nor.... , the proximity of , and otherwise. Thank you, they are beyond my knowledge and good to learn for me. Once I went to a cat café with a friend of mine who loves cats. I didn't enjoy the time there. Take care and see you next time. Bye for now. Yoko
