講師からお知らせ: I place a strong emphasis, whether in the classroom or online, on creating a positive and encouraging learning environment where my students can feel completely safe and confident in presenting their work. Also, an environment in which they can have the utmost confidence that their work, no matter how long or short or at whatever level, will be read and corrected with my complete attention. I not only make corrections where necessary, but also make suggestions where appropriate as to how something might be written in a more natural, native-speaker style. My feedback style, although thorough and detailed, is also always encouraging and respectful. I have always enjoyed teaching, whether face-to-face or online, and I get a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction from seeing my students' English abilities thrive and grow from week to week.
趣味・好きな国・訪問した国: My hobbies are surfing, playing in a band with my friends, music, reading and writing, and collecting old books. I live near the beach and go surfing whenever there are some nice waves. I like all kinds of music, especially classical (Beethoven and Bach are my favourites), jazz (Coltrane, Thelonious Monk) and rock and pop (The Beatles, The Who). I have too many favourite books to mention, but one of my all-time favourites is Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield. My love of books is probably why I became a writer myself. I have had two novels published, and am currently working on my third. I also love to travel. I have been to many countries, and have lived in quite a few different ones as well. When I was younger I did a lot of backpacking, especially through Europe. Spain and the Greek Islands were two highlights. I’ve also travelled through South East Asia, which was very beautiful. Of course every new country has new and exciting things to do and see, but the most exciting country I’ve ever been to is Egypt. Seeing the pyramids with my own eyes was amazing! Sadly, I haven’t been to Japan – yet! But I have had many wonderful Japanese students who have all recommended things I should do and see, so I must visit soon.
添削へのこだわり・メッセージ: Hello. My name is Harry, and I have been an English teacher since 1997. Through my long experience of classroom, and private one on one teaching, at all levels from Beginners to Advanced, I am familiar with the kinds of mistakes, large and small, that non-native speakers make when writing. Of course many of these mistakes are grammatical. However, mastering written (or spoken) English is also a matter of being able to use a more natural turn of phrase, or a more appropriate word, where required. This is often the difference between a good and an excellent piece of writing. Being a writer myself, I always try to make every sentence as good as it can be. Sometimes they come out perfect first try, other times I have to rewrite – and rewrite! However, the feeling I get when I have written a good sentence or paragraph is always worth the extra effort. That’s why I always pay the utmost care and attention to every word and sentence – both my own and my students. When a sentence or piece of writing scans, it reads easily and naturally. Helping my students to create such naturally flowing writing has always been one of my chief aims as a teacher. However, I understand that this can at times be difficult and frustrating for a student, especially when something they may have spent a long time working on needs correcting. This is why I am always patient, sympathetic, and above all, encouraging, and am always careful to explain any corrections I have made. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you, and in helping you to create the very best writing that you can.

Thank you very much for checking my English. I learned that simple and concise style of writing is good. That does not "mince words", right? I continue my regular practice, so that my skills will improve. Thank you!

Hello, Harry. How are you doing? It's nice to see you here again. Thank you for the corrections you made on my essay, and also I'm so happy to read your nice messages, thank you. I made a challenge this time in the essay, that was the 3rd sentence. I was not sure the structure of the sentence was OK or not. So, I'm very happy to see you didn't amend it at all. I hope i will see you soon again. Bye for now. Yoko
