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.

    Dear florianna, Thank you very much for correcting my English and answering my question as always. I'm also grateful for your detailed explanations. I learn a lot from them every time I read. I'm glad to hear that you like cats too. I understand what you meant. It is quite hard to leave my cat home alone even though there's someone to look after him. I miss him so much. Yes, you are right. Tamiwo is Scottish fold. He is a calm modest cat. Whenever I come home, he welcomes me purring. He is such a lovely cat. I hope your daughter will have a cat someday in the future. Have a wonderful day! Best regards, leleu.

    Dear Florianna, Thank you very much for your correction and kind message. It is nice to see you! When I gave a pack of rock salt to my Mongolian friend who lives in Japan, she asked me to put the salt on anywhere else, not to hand it to her directly. She told me that it was also a Mongolian custom; they believe that if you are handed salt by someone, the someone will become your enemy. It is very interesting because I thought that nomad people were rather savage and love to have a fight (it might sound discriminative though). Mongolian people are superstitious and have a lot of taboos. Again, I really appreciate your warm message, it encouraged me a lot! Best regards, Ayako Nara

    Thanks for sharing your daughter's great story! I was thrilled that your young violinist had passed the some auditions and reached to the final round! (I know how difficult to play Copland, it has quite complicated rhythm) And I really envy with you and your daughter, because she has a chance to perform with such a great musician at the awesome concert hall! My best wishes on your audition!

    Thank you for checking my essay. Your warmhearted message encouraged me to write more essays this morning. The essay that you read was the fifth essay that I wrote on IDIY, and I have just submitted eleventh essay! Hooray! Actually three points that I wrote in my essay were the things that I felt when I used Facebook for the first time. As you mentioned, social media has not only negative side but also positive side. If we use it carefully, it will be a good tool to contact with other people.

    Thank you for your suggestion and comments! Tasty cooked vegetables, a nice tomato salsa and some fish fingers sound an ideal supper as they seem to be healthy and delicious. A tomato salsa and fish fingers definitely goes well! I haven't tried making a tomato salsa, but I'd like to try it in the near future.

    Thank you for telling me the name of this unique facility and the violin maker! I can visit there in the near future thanks to you. Also, I’ve learnt some new English expressions such as “multi-Storey car park” from your correction. Thank you! Have a great evening.
