JAPANESE TO ENGLISH EDITING, COACHING, and TEACHING
SERVICES OFFERED:
Journal Submissions Assistance.
All services from mere proofreading up through structure, grammar, syntax, cohesiveness, and translation help. Since journal articles generally must be submitted in English, it is critical that your submission be properly translated, phrased, structured, and proofed if you want it to be competitive for publication.
Standardized Test Comprehension and Response.
Some of the most prestigious schools in the world require great scores on standardized tests. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) (or whatever the real name is), the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), and many others, are written in English. To maximize your scores on these tests, you must not only have an excellent grasp of the concepts in English, you must also understand the nature and protocol of these types of standardized tests. I can provide not only the coaching in the English skills you will need to understand and properly answer these questions, but through my affiliation with the prestigious Qualtity Teaching Initiatives Institute, I can provide coaching in testing and test-taking skills that will give you an extra advantage when it comes to taking these standardized tests. (Just thought I'd slip that one in there)

I can provide the individualized coaching you will need to hone your English skills so you will get your maximum possible score on these essays.
