How Learning Japanese Can Help Your Child Stand Out
Learning a language like Japanese does more than just teach new words; it builds discipline, cultural awareness, and a unique way of thinking. For your child, this isn't just a hobby. It's a skill that can make their UCAS application truly memorable, especially when applying to competitive universities like Birmingham or Warwick. From understanding grammar structures like particles (は, が, を) to mastering Hiragana and Katakana, our tutors help your child develop a deep understanding that can be channelled towards a formal qualification, giving them a real advantage for their future.

Aki M
Creative Japanese Tutor
Hi I'm Aki, an experienced Japanese teacher. I've been tutoring students in the United Kingdom for over 6 years. I taught a variety of students: e.g. young children (primary school), teenagers (GCSE /A-level), university students, and adults up to over 60 years old. Most of them are beginner or intermediate-level learners.Let me describe my teaching style with 3 key points: 1) TEACHING MATERIALS: I mainly use my original teaching materials which are full of visual-focused explanations and custom illustrations. I believe every lesson should be customised to some extent, because of the many different...

Hi, I'm Kurumi! :)I'm a native Japanese tutor who is originally from Hokkaido, the north island of Japan but currently live in Bristol. I started tutoring since I came to the UK so now I have nearly 5 years of experience. Although I'm originally an engineer, my tutoring carrer began before then, when I was a uni student.

Aki M
My 17 year old daughter has recently started lessons with Aki and is enjoying them immensely. She says she is learning a lot and likes that she gets plenty of opportunity in the lesson to practice speaking Japanese with Aki. Learning resources are excellent too and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Aki to other parents. Thank you :)

Esme has only had a few sessions with Masato but we are very impressed. His teaching style is very visual and easy to follow. He has a lovely mannerism and personability, very bubbly. He is extremely organised an efficient, punctual and follows up with notes too. Really like his style of teaching and would highly recommend.

Ikumi M
I never imagined I would enjoy learning a new language after my school years. Ikumi fosters a warm and welcoming environment, demonstrating patience and utmost professionalism. Her preparation for each lesson is impressive, and she even assigns homework when she's unable to conduct a session. I believe I couldn't have found a better tutor and I plan to continue with her until I achieve my personal goals.
Thank you Ikumi!

Misako G
Misako is truly the best teacher I've ever had. I've been interested in Japanese and studied by myself for some time and taking up the lessons was the best step forward in my learning. I was a complete beginner at the time, but quickly lessons with Misako became the highlights of my week. I am more comfortable speaking the language and am always looking forward to learn more. ありがとうございます！

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Birmingham or Warwick. Can a tutor help their application stand out with a Japanese qualification?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for university applications. They can help your child work towards a recognised qualification in Japanese, which can be a fantastic way to demonstrate a unique skill and intellectual curiosity on a UCAS personal statement, making them a more memorable candidate for competitive courses.
Since Japanese isn't taught at my child's school in Kidderminster, can a tutor help them study for a formal qualification like a GCSE or A-Level?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can create a structured learning plan that covers the entire curriculum for qualifications like GCSE or A-Level Japanese, even if it's not available at their school. They provide all the resources and expert guidance your child needs to prepare thoroughly for their exams.
How do I choose the right Japanese tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific goals before booking a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an identity check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
How much does an online Japanese tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices for Japanese lessons vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter your search to find someone who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and engaging environment where your child can learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child if they're a complete beginner in Japanese?
Our tutors are fantastic at making beginners feel comfortable and confident. They'll start with the very basics, like mastering Hiragana and Katakana, simple greetings, and sentence structure, building a strong foundation and making learning fun from the very first lesson.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring platforms?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Our focus is on finding the perfect tutor for your child's individual needs. We offer a secure, easy-to-use platform and are proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How long does it take to see progress?
This varies for every child, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's completely focused on their needs, which helps them make progress much faster than in a group setting. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
Can tutoring fit around my child's other commitments?
Yes, definitely. You and the tutor agree on lesson times that work for you. The flexibility of online tutoring means it's easy to schedule sessions around school, sports, and other family activities.
How do online lessons work?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like Maths, English, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and skills like guitar, coding, piano, and even singing. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
