Message from instructor
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan.
Hobbies / favorite countries / countries visited
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and studying Japanese. My favorite country is Japan, where I live, although I'm from the USA and have family and many friends there. My most interesting visit to another country (besides Japan) was to South Korea in 2011. The highlight of that vacation was visiting the DMZ border of North Korea, which was a very intense experience.
Approach to corrections
My text correction style is somewhat minimalistic, unless a "drastic change" or "formal," etc. is requested, as I do my best to preserve customers' words and ideas, and although I'm strict about grammar and punctuation, I also try to be as intuitive as possible so that my corrections don't result in failing to get the point across that they're trying to make.

    Thank you for your correction. I check the basic grammar, and then I will try to make more complex sentences.

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your informative review as usual! Honestly, it is difficult for me to use proper prepositions as you know, but your explanation about it is very helpful and I’ll keep trying. I’m looking forward to meeting with you soon. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear Tom, Good morning too. I'm glad that my entry was almost perfect! As you said, I'm also looking forward to fall because I don't like using the air conditioner. If you keep checking for the tree, you fill find the situation I described even if in winter! Thank you for helping me, and I hope you have a great day. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Hello again. I appreciate your help. It's difficult to use the words "more" and "better" correctly, so I want to learn more about it. (plus comma splice) I guess the logic behind my two-step program is to cover teeth with substances from teeth-paste after blushing. I hope you also have a great day! Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Dear Tom, Hello, Tom! Thank you for checking my entry. I went to the restaurant again with the woman yesterday, and we didn't have any messes as you said because I had told it before. I really enjoyed the lunch. I look forward to working with you again soon. Best regards, m-yoshiro
