主な取得資格
B.A Honours in English Literature from Cambridge University. Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Experience of teaching English language and literature and TEFL to school pupils and adults in groups and most particularly one-to-one. Interest in and experience of creative writing in English. I speak Spanish and French and have an keen interest in language learning and improvement. Through my daughter's learning of violin, initially by the Suzuki method,I have a great respect for and interest in learning by the mother tongue method. I see the way IDIY works as being very similar to this method in many respects and recognise the value of learning and teaching that involves native speakers. I have particular interests and experience in the arts, education, psychology, medicine, and have worked in both corporate and internal communications in business.
講師からお知らせ
I am happy to work for IDIY and to be reading and correcting the work of Japanese speaking customers. I've worked for IDIY for 12 years and find it very interesting and rewarding. My style of correction is to pay close attention to the language in your writing in terms of grammar, vocabulary, style and content. I see each customer as having different needs in your learning journey and I take care to respond to you and your writing as the developing work of an individual. In my comments and personal message you will find that I tend to discuss in some depth with you the content of your writing and you can learn from this personalised discussion as well as from specific corrections and suggestions for alternative wording where appropriate. I do my best to encourage you in your writing with constructive help along with a rigorous and disciplined approach. Your questions, additional notes and feedback are always welcome and can be an important part of the communication between you as the customer and me as the instructor. I am happy to receive requests and develop a rapport so that you have continuity in your learning and to help you with Basic and/or Advanced corrections as well as with proof-reading. I look forward to reading your writing and to writing back to you and I hope that you enjoy IDIY as much as I do!
趣味・好きな国・訪問した国
I enjoy language and languages and words fascinate me. I like both reading and writing and currently attend a creative writing class. I'm a keen musician and enjoy playing the piano. I also play the violin and look forward to playing more than I have done recently. There are so many things to enjoy in Edinburgh where I live. I'm happy in the city enjoying the culture and also very much enjoy being in nature and exploring places when I have time. My now 22-year-old daughter keeps me busy and though she is very independent in some ways she is still young and growing up in a complex and busy world. I'm especially interested in the arts and feel lucky to live in a city where we have easy access to rich cultural experiences including the Edinburgh Festival. I've spent time in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Hong Kong, Norway, Canada, America, and most recently, in Poland. I enjoyed all of them and plan to keep travelling when I have the opportunity.
添削へのこだわり・メッセージ
I very much enjoy working for IDIY and look forward to reading and helping you with your writing. I am here to help you be able to write fluently, naturally and correctly, and, perhaps above all, to communicate effectively in English what you want to say. Writing is a complex process even in one's own language. When you are writing in another language there are even more layers of complexity and it can be challenging. It can also be a lot of fun and very rewarding. As a native speaker of English I aim to share with you what is natural to me and to help and encourage you through specific corrections and adjustments and also through response to and discussion of what you are writing about in any piece you send to me through IDIY. I discuss particular aspects of your writing in detail if you ask for an Advanced correction and will give you a corrected version of your text if you ask for a Basic correction. In both cases I aim to have a sort of conversation with you across the internet and to connect with you through language so that you can absorb natural English and further develop your language skills. I aim to tune in to what your needs are and encourage you on your learning journey.

    Hello, Florianna. How are you doing? Thank you for the corrections you made on my essay. I found an interesting point in the 1st sentence that you wrote. "athleticism" and "deftness" is both uncountable noun, so when they come together, they are still uncountable. therefore you wrote "is required"; you didn't write "are required" I was puzzled for a while, but eventually understood. In the 3rd sentence, you wrote "go on to live a life with new challenges". I understand what you meant to say. He doesn't have two lives, meaning that his life continues just going to a next stage. In the 4th sentence, "a more ordinary life" is, I think, a better choice than "a usual life". because, When Ayumu was an athlete, he still had an usual life as a man, and which might have been a bit of less ordinary life than a life that people have, though. ( Sorry, it's hard to tell you) In the 5th sentence, "Ayumu Goromaru who has achieved things more ordinary people can't, tend, after retiring from their sport, to be able to survive in other spheres." I don't understand this sentence, especially, why you used "more" and "their" in it. You meant to say that Ayumu is a less ordinary person? Or, Maybe just my sentence doesn't make sense to you, ( sorry, I'm trying.... but...I'm confused here again) but I like the word"spheres" on the last part, it's very interesting to me. "exalted" "with its rigours" are new expressions for me. I would like to use them sometimes. Hoping to see you soon. Yoko

    Thank you so much for your corrections and suggestions. I've learned a lot and found it hard to write passive and active voice adequately. I hope I will gradually learn writing. Thank you!

    Thank you, florianna. It is nice to see you again. The Olympics was a total disaster. It should be abolished once and for all.

    Thanks for your kind message. It always encourages me. Now I am choosing a piece that I will play on the next round, and this activity is quite fun! Preparing a performance is also an important process for me to enjoy music much more! The final stage will be held in Tokyo next at the end of November. Hope you have a happy music life as well. See you soon. Toru

    Thank you for the corrections and suggestions. There were a lot of typos in your corrections, so it would have been better if you could have checked them before sending. However, your corrections were great and really gave me good suggestions.

    Dear Ms. Florianna Sorry for my late reply. I just noticed that I got a message from you, not just the corrections. Thank you very much for correcting my English. I also enjoyed reading your kind comments. I hope you can check my writing again soon. Have a nice day.

    Dear florianna, I am very happy to hear from you and know that you and your family are well and have good time. (I hope your mother has stayed great since then.) Thank you very much for your really helpful and warm feedback as always! I learned many new interesting expressions and usages. I will try to use them in future writing. Please do keep safe and stay well. The fact that you do so always encourages me to do so here in Japan ;)
