I have been teaching English and writing to students from middle to graduate school for over 20 years. I've helped students write essays, research papers, SAT essays, college application essays, and even edited PhD dissertations. One of my greatest joys is to break down the (seemingly) daunting task of grammar usage and writing into small, manageable, and easy-to-understand steps. Everyone can write, and it's my job to show them how!

宿題が提供されます
Short homework assignments will be given daily (approx. 10 questions per day); students can choose to do it daily or hand in the entire week at once, due by the following Sunday of each week. Specific teacher feedback will be given to each student so that students know where their strengths lie and where they may need extra study.
**Assignments that are turned in late do NOT receive feedback. (Individual cases of illness, power outages, etc. will be reviewed by the teacher and the due dates will be amended accordingly.)**
授業以外に週あたり 0 - 1 時間の学習が期待されます
