Testimonials from My Friends

Mikkom is a truly gifted "student of English". Her use of language reads and sounds completely natural and is near native. Mikkom writes interesting, witty stories that are so well-written and fun to read they could have come off the pages of a newspaper in the USA. Mikkom is a hard working English speaking guide to groups of tourists visiting Japan. She is a busy housewife, and a terrific friend. And yet, she still finds time to craft marvelous stories in English, and is always improving her impressive grasp of the language!
