How Japanese Can Make Your Child's University Application Shine

Learning Japanese is a fantastic way for your child to show their dedication and unique academic curiosity – something admissions tutors at competitive universities, including the University of Exeter, really value. More than just learning a language, it's about developing analytical skills through understanding complex grammar and discipline through mastering kanji. These are powerful assets for any degree course and future career, showing your child is a committed and well-rounded candidate.

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...

Kurumi F
Experienced & relaxed Japanese tutor for all levels learners
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. At the time I was working as a part time tutor at evening classes and I really enjoyed it.So since I moved to the UK, I decided to start this carrer again. I had several students in Glasgow and since I moved to Bristol, I've got more students and tutoring them every day. My classes...

We’ve only had a few lessons but my daughter is really enjoying her lessons so far! She just wanted to learn Japanese for fun and Sally has a warm and thorough approach which is just right for my 10 year old. Would recommend!

Natsumi is a really fun and engaging teacher. Even when I make mistakes she takes the time to review them until I am comfortable to continue. I’m looking forward to our next lesson for the foreseeable. ありがとう

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 :)

Masato I
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 hopes to apply to the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help their application stand out with Japanese?

Yes, absolutely. A tutor can help them build a strong portfolio of work, prepare for proficiency tests, and articulate their passion for Japanese compellingly in their personal statement, which is a huge advantage for competitive applications.

Japanese isn't offered at my child's school in Exeter. Can a tutor help them work towards a formal qualification?

Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in guiding students through the curriculum for qualifications like GCSE or A-Level Japanese, even if they're learning outside of school. They can provide the structured support needed to cover the syllabus and prepare for exams.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Japanese tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If the first lesson isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do I pick the right Japanese tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors beforehand to discuss your child's goals to ensure they're a great fit before booking.

How much do online Japanese tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

How does online tutoring actually work?

Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We also interview them to ensure they have the right skills, experience, and attitude to teach.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Japanese?

One-to-one attention in a supportive space is fantastic for building confidence. Tutors can go at your child's pace, celebrate small wins, and create a safe environment to ask questions they might be shy about asking in a group.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something creative like guitar or coding?

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond academics, your child can connect with expert tutors for music, coding, art, and much more. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths directly with your tutor to suit your child's needs and concentration span.

Can my child get help with conversational Japanese for a trip?

Definitely! Our tutors can tailor lessons to focus on practical, conversational skills to help your child feel confident and prepared for travelling.

Are the tutors background-checked?

It's easy. Our platform and messaging system make it simple to communicate with your tutor to reschedule a lesson if something comes up. Just be sure to check your tutor's individual cancellation policy, which is displayed on their profile.
