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 for your correction and comments! It doesn't matter to me that your correction takes several days, so don't worry about that. The smell and taste of Natto don't bother me - of course I don't think it has a good smell - probably because I've eaten it since I was in an elementary school. However, my parents always say they didn't like the food when they were young, though they like Natto very much now. I recommend eating Natto with some miced vegetables if you have a chance to try Natto but the taste is too unique for you. In Japan, minced green onion, grated Japanese white raddish, chopped okra are good to eat with Natto, although the smell is hard to soften...

    Thank you for your correction, answers and comments! They are really helpful to me as always. I would miss cooking if I didn't have chance to cook every day, as you said. It's lucky that I can enjoy meals that someone else cooks, but, I want to cook by myself at least sometimes, too. I hope you and your daughter can enjoy cooking together!

    Thank you for your correction and comments! Fukubukuros are so popular in Japan so that many department stores get overcrowded on January 2nd and 3rd. Other shops also sell Fukubukuros, but those sold in department stores are outstandingly popular. Chrismas crackers sounds really an enjoyable event! It would be very exciting to wait for pulling one's cracker, imagining what would be the present!

    Thank you for your correction and comments! I've never tried baking nor eating angel cake, Madeira cake and Victoria Sponge; I think I seldom have an opportunity to see the cakes in Japan. I saw pictures of them on Google, and they look very delicious! I'd like to try both baking and eating them in the near future!

    Thank you so much for your correction and gentle comments! As you said "I think, though,that perhaps you so vividly remember her that it felt you should use the present tense when thinking of her by name," I failed to use past tense though Kurumi passed away many years ago. My family and I really loved her. I'm really glad that you corrected my sentences because now I can explain about Kurumi more naturally to my friends in English!

    Thank you for your comment and edtion. In Japan traffic rules are very strict. Even touching smart phones and looking at smart phones while driving are against the rule and ones who violate it is fined. I do not know about this in your country. I think the rule is strict in Japan because there are a lot of traffic accidents with smart phones while driving. See you.
