講師からお知らせ
I am a Canadian-born native English speaker now residing in Costa Rica. I have a university degree and a post-graduate certificate in G.I.S. (Geographical Information Systems) from McMaster University. I have visited many cultures for extended periods of time and teach children English in an area where there is no opportunity to practice. I understand the frustrations and excitement of learning a new language and way of thinking. My proofreading style encompasses three areas: 1) checking your English for grammatical errors and use of everyday English; 2) making sure your meaning comes across to the reader even though it is crossing both language and cultural differences; 3) offering suggestions to improve the style and construction of your composition. I enjoy working for IDIY and their clients because I enjoy teaching while at the same time it gives me the opportunity to learn about the Japanese culture.
趣味・好きな国・訪問した国
My hobbies include breeding and photographing horses, horseback riding, making cheese and gardening. My favorite countries are Canada, Costa Rica, and Indonesia. I have also visited the Solomon Islands, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, England, Spain, Italy, Fiji, and the U.S.A.

    Thank you for your advice. When my husband and I were on our honeymoon, he showed some tricks to other tourists from Australia at a beer hall in Germany. He didn't, still doesn't, speak English at all, but the tourists really enjoyed his tricks even without words. I thought magic tricks were as great a communication tool as languages.

    Thanks for letting me know the famous English quotation. I didn't know that. I googled the quotation, and found it very famous. I could use that when I have a chance to talk about telling lies.

    I like your correction to the 5th sentence. It expresses my idea more clearly. Thank you :-D

    I was a bit disappointed that I found an obvious mistake that I made, that was "attractive," in my composition. I should've paid more attention. I like your correction, from "energy" to "mental energy." Also the corrections in the last sentence made sense. Thank you!

    Thank you for your advice including tipping. I think I have to try some tipping situations, and I'll get used to it through a lot of mistakes. For the chance to travel abroad, I'll improve my English skills!
