講師からお知らせ
Hello everyone! I hope that you are all well. I am currently available for requests. I try to complete most requests in two or three days, but please note that I currently have my deadline set to four days as I may be busy over the next few weeks. Best wishes for the New Year! Roddy
趣味・好きな国・訪問した国
I have many hobbies! I enjoy photography, reading and writing, watching movies, and playing games. I love music of all kinds, and I play the drums in a rock band and a reggae band. I like animals, too; I live with a dog, a cat, some chickens and some fish. I don't really have a favourite country because I think that every country has its own unique and interesting points, but I lived in Japan for five years and I think of it as my 'second home'. Apart from Japan, I have also visited France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Spain and the USA (the West Coast, at least).
添削へのこだわり・メッセージ
Hello! My name is Roddy, and I am an English teacher from the United Kingdom (UK). I studied English and Philosophy at university, and I have also completed the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA). I lived in Japan for five years, where I worked as an assistant language teacher (ALT). Usually, I taught at junior and senior high school but sometimes also at elementary school and at a private school (where I mostly taught adults). One of my main jobs as an ALT was correcting students' work, so I have plenty of experience doing text correction with all levels of English ability. When correcting text, I check for spelling and grammar accuracy, of course, but I also carefully consider the tone and purpose of the text (such as whether it is formal or casual, for example). I am happy to look at any kind and length of composition and, although my native tongue for text correction is British English, I am also very happy to work with many different kinds of English, including American and Australian English. I try to always be warm, positive and encouraging, I welcome any questions that you have, and I am very much looking forward to reading your compositions and helping you to improve your work!

    Thank you so much, Roddy, for your edits and explanations. I like the length of tour explanations; they are not too short or long; and the number of example sentences; not too many or few. And I’m glad you thought me an idea of simplicity. Again, thanks a million!

    Thank you for teaching me kindly including the answer of my question. I think I understand what you said: some native speakers might find it unusual to see British/Australian vocabulary being mixed in with American spelling. When come to think of it, I feel strange when there are Chinese characters both it is used in Japan and not in Japan in the same sentence. ( Actually when you travel abroad, we often see those sentences) Probably it is the same as the feeling when you read a sentence mixed in with British and American spelling. I'll try to be careful about that! See you next time!

    Hi tutor Roddy. Thank you for teaching me kindly. It was interesting the difference images between "land" and "ground", and "shade" and "shadow". I think I understand. I'm looking forward to working with you again!

    Dear Roddy, Thank you for correcting my sentence. Your suggestions were so explanatory that I learned a lot. This city, Dubrovnik, is a popular filming location, especially known for Game of Thrones. I would be happy if I could have been sharing the beauty of this city with you even a little. Sincerely yours, NEKOQ

    Thank you for teaching me kindly. These are easy to understand and helpful. I have difficulty with articles and I have to check the mistakes this time too. I read about your introduction and you lived in Japan for five years! It's so long period. I heard the situation about the virus is getting worse in Europe and I hope you are fine. See you next time!!

    Dear Roddy, I was extremely impressed by your wonderful feedback!! I am truly grateful for your kind and thorough suggestions and explanations. You really taught me a lot of things that I didn't know or I didn't understand. I felt like that a big window suddenly opened and showed an excellent scenery! Have a lovely week and please take care!
