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.

    Dear Tom, Thank you for your corrections and explanations. About the second sentence, your explanation was really helpful. It was more than once. It had been 3 or 4 days ( 9 to 12 times ) My daughter was in a good mood today and finally stopped playing while eating. I hope you have a lovely day. Best wishes, Mana0423,

    Thank you, as always. Your explanation helped me better understand the use of "with" and "under", and "relaxing" and "relaxation".

    Dear Tom-san Thank you for your review. That was easy for me to understand as usual. I have been to Colosseum in Rome, and as you said, I can’t understand why Dimitorov has such a ridiculous idea… Anyway, I feel that it is important to raise awareness about the value of historical heritage sites. I’m looking forward to working with you soon. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear Tom, I'm sorry for being late because I had stayed in Tokyo for business last week. Thank you for your help. I didn't know that there is a difference between "talk" and "talks" in meaning. It's good to hear that you live in Japan and you've got goldfish at a festival. I used to have goldfish as pets when I was a child. I look forward to working with you soon. Best regards, m-yoshiro

    Thank you as always. The use of the definite and indefinite articles is very difficult for us, Japanese learners.
