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 teacher Florianna, for your detailed comments and advise. I've been sick for these days and took a long time to read through your comments. Now I recovered. It seems like I tend to make everything plural. As you may know Japanese language don't have the idea of singular and plural. A cat is 'neko', and neko is always neko regardless of the numbers of them. Therefore, it is a little difficult for Japanese to properly choose singular and plural. Anyway it is a good lessen. Thank you. In Japan, it is still not super hot these days, but it will be soon. I hate the hot and humid weather in Tokyo.

Thank you for describing the difference between American English and British one about holidays and vacations, which I really appreciate. I think that in Japan American English is more familiar and more taught than British English because Japan is the most influenced by America such as in economy, fashion, music and movies.

Thank you always for your thoughtful response to my question. I am always happy to read your comment.I am also happy you agree that in our free world there are things we should think of. In your comment " I think it makes the world "not a free world" if people think they are free to think of harming people..." Does it mean something like bad people like terrorists limits our action like traveling?

Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply. I understand first sentence, it is not "might has limit to do automatic." but "it might have limits when it comes to doing things automatically." In the modern world, we can't live smoothly without technology. Anyhow, I think your mother is great to try using cellphone! I guess she needs courage to get cellphone which is unusually gadget for her. She will learn how to use cellphone, so I will also try to study English like your mother! Thank you again for your polite reply!

Regarding the last question's answer, I am alway happy to read your long and sincere comment on my essay. Although your comment is sometimes difficult for me perhaps because your English is the way real native speakers speak which I am not familiar with, I am so pleased that I print out and read it many times. You do not need to be sorry that you respond to my question late because I understand that it takes a long time for you to respond to me with such a long and sincere comment. Instead, I always appreciate your long and sincere comment on my essay.
