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-san Thank you for your polite explanation. It was very logical and helpful to improve my English composition skills. Regarding the phrase “dominant poison”, you’re correct, it was a misspelling word by automatic completion function. Sorry… Anyway, I always appreciate your kind and cheerful message. I’m looking forward to working with you again. Best Regards, Tucker

    I really appreciated your very detailed explanation of the use of "the"." It is very interesting to hear that the "Internet" will also change in time. Your careful explanations are always very useful for my review.

    Dear Tom, Thank you for the detailed correction! I try to write my compositions with 50-word limitation because of my course in IDIY. However, your supplementary phrases are always helpful. I have learned a lot of exciting phrases from your correction. Thankfully, mint-chocolate
