| How did you find out about i-osmosis? What attracted you to this course? |
 |
I am very busy on business and don't have enough time to go to a private English school. Therefore I determined to take a course by internet and found i-osmosis. The points that I was attracted to the i-osmosis course were that we can step up the ability of conversation and listening through writing essays and that we can choose a suitable course to our ability.
~ Junichi Sato |
|
I found out you through the internet. When I found out i-osmosis's web site, I had wanted to learn a formal English writing. The service content of i-osmosis seemed to suite for me.
~ Hisashi Terasaki |
|
I found i-osmosis during net surfing. I had been seeking English writing course with reasonable prices. Essay categories and the price attracted me.
~ Miho Hirono |
|
My mother found it out through internet by using Google. We chose you because there was a course which was very concentrated.
~ Naoki Tane |
|
I was surfing the Net, looking for correspondence writing courses and came across your site. I was attracted by your writing courses of all English instructions and evaluations by Indian teachers because I had heard the very high quality of Indian English teachers.
~ Akio Matsuyoshi |
|
The course was good exercises structuring my thought in logical order by using clear expression. The most beneficial point is that I can get a direct response and feedback from the instructor on my assignment, which is the most distinct advantage of the on-line learning course. I think it is rather difficult for learners to develop the writing skill without any guidance, comparing other skills, like reading and listening.

| Did the course meet your objective? |
|
I took General Writing 4 course. It was a shortest course, so naturally my objective was not achieved full well.
~ Junichi Sato |
|
Yes. Not only it met my objective but also it was enjoyable, indeed.
~ Hisashi Terasaki |
|
No. I think it needed to be more time. However somehow I felt my writing has been improved after the course.
~ Miho Hirono |
|
Yes, it did.
~ Naoki Tane |
|
I think so, yes. Taking your course has been an eye opening experience, bringing me into a broader world of English writing.
~ Akio Matsuyoshi |
|
Yes. Far more than what I expected.

|
| How helpful was your instructor's guidance? |
|
The first benefit was that I could realize the weakness of my writing clearly by getting exact and excellent evaluations to my essays in a thorough and kindly manner by my instructor. The second benefit was to get used to writing English through the small talk with my instructor in the forums. The third benefit was to be able to study English in a feeling of hospitality by one-on-one instructor system.
~ Junichi Sato |
|
I think her guidance was to the point. It always showed me my weak points and misunderstandings.
~ Hisashi Terasaki |
|
She encouraged me all time that helped me to keep motivation.
~ Miho Hirono |
|
The instructor corrected my essays very carefully and explained reasons in detail.
~ Naoki Tane |
|
Each instruction was specific, based on writing nature unique to the student. Usually I did not notice what type of writing style, error habits, and structural defects I took. My instructor correctly pointed them out, guiding me to a better form of writing. Her instructions in English themselves were good learning materials to me.
~ Akio Matsuyoshi |
|
The instructor's guidance is always informative and practical. All guidance I have got is the exactly tailor-made notes exclusively for me. I will keep all records and refer them when I write some articles in future.
~ Minako Sugawara |

|
|
| Would you recommend our course? Why? |
|
I recommend the course. Because we can get the improvement of English writing ability, moreover get the logical thinking that is the weakness of Japanese.
~ Junichi Sato |
|
Yes. Although many English learning opportunities are in Japan, I think that there are few which really contribute to improve one's English skill such as i-osmosis.
~ Hisashi Terasaki |
|
Yes. I think it is effective way to learn English writing at neutral position.
~ Miho Hirono |
|
Yes, I would. Because, your course is trustworthy.
~ Naoki Tane |
|
I would, yes, depending on what English level they are in. I feel that the English level required for your all English language courses may be high, probably, for Japanese students above the level of semi-Eiken 1st grade or Eiken 2nd or above 760 in TOEIC®. I mean that to yield the best results from your courses, people may need that levels according to individual needs.
~ Akio Matsuyoshi |
|
Yes. In addition to the substantial advantages, it is the great benefit for learners who are busy with their duties or have difficulties to go to language schools regularly to be able to study with their own pace at home. This on-line course matches the practical needs of these learners.

~ Makimi Seko |

I think that the best way to learn English writing is to write essays at first hand. You can't learn it no matter how many books you read. So this course was just what I was looking for.

Guidance for construction of essays was helpful. For example, how to compose the instruction of an essay, not to club more than one idea in one sentence and how to choose transitional words.
~ Proofreader |

The "word choice" was particularly useful for me. For learners like me, who need to improve their stylistics, this part is truly informative. Thanks to the guidance, I found out my weakness in writing English.
~ Ken-ichi Katayama |
|
|
|
| Would you recommend our course? Why? |

This course would be recommended to those with English levels of middle to upper-middle. Beginners to intermediate learners might find this course somewhat hard to follow.
~ Ken-ichi Katayama |
|
Yes. Because adjustment of the schedule of assignments was flexible in deciding it before I started the course. Through the course, I could notice my habits of writing irrespective of their qualities.

|
| How did you find out about i-osmosis? What attracted you to this course? |
|
On the Internet. Yahoo. The homepage was well-organized and easy to read. The evaluation example on the homepage seemed more refined to others' I also found on the net.
~ Junichi Takada |
|
I was looking for a course where you can train yourself in English writing at home after I had done poorly on the writing section in a TOEFL® test. I just searched on Google, using keywords like "Eisakubun", "Tensaku", "English Writing", etc., and then I came across i-osmosis. First, I was attracted by the specimens of edited essays on your web site. They helped me judge how good training I could expect to receive in your courses. Second, it was the relatively low price compared to similar courses offered by other companies that made me decide to study with i-osmosis.
~ So Ota |
|
Found out at Yahoo. Attracted me to the cost of this course.
~ Psychologist |

|
|
| Did the course meet your objective? |
|
Yes.
~ Junichi Takada |
|
Yes. I have been feeling throughout the course that I am gradually improving, although there has always been much room left for improvement.
~ So Ota |
|
No. I could not improve my skill from previous course. The first course improved grade from C to B. This course started from B. I wanted to get grade A at the end of this course surely but I think that it is difficult to improve grade from B to A. However, I acquired grade all B on this course. Therefore, my instructor helped me to make many progress.
~ Psychologist |
|
Yes, I did. I could practice writing essays as much as possible over the course
~ Akane Wachi |
|
|
|
| How helpful was your instructor's guidance? |
|
She kept reminding me as the importance of the time limitation, and it helped me take a placement essay at college. She gave me advices to make my essays more interesting.
~ Junichi Takada |
|
It was very helpful in terms of learning the formal style of English writing, including correct grammar, word choice, sentence order, etc. Plus, I learned a lot from the instructor about how to enhance clarity of essays.
~ So Ota |
|
My instructor's guidance was detailed
~ Psychologist |
|
My instructor helped when I could not manage to upload my essays. It was really helpful. Her evaluations were also easy to understand how to improve my skills.
~ Akane Wachi |
|
|
|
| Would you recommend our course? Why? |
|
Evaluation system easy to understand good and bad points of an essay. Interacting with a teacher in English helps students to learn how to write an e-mail and letter, and give them experience in real communication with foreigners. Japanese people usually have to pay for e-mailing with English speakers.
~ Junichi Takada |
|
I would if I had a friend who wants to learn about English writing. Why? Because I have had a good experience with i-osmosis and therefore I can expect the friend to have as well.
~ So Ota |
|
No.
~ Psychologist |
|
I recommend because the staffs are very nice. They have a good attitude.
