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.

    Thank you very much for the feedback. I should pay more attention not to make mistakes such as using ''less'' for ''fewer'', or ''technological'' for ''technologically''. In the mean time, I will never be able to figure out by myself that when I write ''in the previous Games'', it will only refer to the Rio Olympics. What I meant was in a general sense, so I should have wrote ''in prevoius Games''. The use or not of the article ''the'' is always a tricky one for a non-native speaker. There were not so many corrections this time, but thank you very much for making so many notes regardless. They were all helpful and interesting. In particular, I have never imagined calling U.K a region. Just as I never refer to the U.S. as a region. I knew this but realized again how poeple living in the U.K. have a different perspective ! I look forward to communicating with you in the next opportunity.

    Hello florianna, thanks always ! No worries about the delay. I'm not in hurry at any time. And I'm very glad that you daughter had end-of-year recital not remotely. Frank's sonata (I guess) is sometimes played by the cello, and that's one of my favorite! Congratulations! As you said, the period of preparation is quite important and fun time. The performance on a stage is a kind of top of an iceberg. I am sure that your daughter got a stable foundation through the tough year. I hope someday I go to hear concert in person! Enjoy musical days with keeping healthy. Thanks again and see you soon :D

    Dear florianna, Thank you very much for your really helpful and encouraging feedback! I always enjoy reading about your messages. I learn a lot of things, how to express our own life and current topics. I feel they are very lively language. Also, your corrections and natural expressions are really helpful for me. I noted all of them! I am very happy to read the good news about your family gathering. I am hopeful that that day will come to us soon ;) Have a wonderful day!

    Thank you for correcting my essay! In Japanese, when we say “ I stretch my back” we are saying “I feel proud”, which I think has the same kind of meaning.
