Why a Japanese Qualification Can Make Your Child Stand Out

Studying a unique subject like Japanese shows universities a level of dedication and curiosity that really makes an application shine. It’s more than just learning a language; it’s about developing discipline, cultural awareness, and a global perspective. A formal qualification proves your child can commit to and succeed in a challenging subject, giving them a genuine advantage when applying for competitive degree courses.

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

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's school in Shrewsbury doesn't offer Japanese. Can a tutor help them achieve a formal qualification?

Absolutely. This is a common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students through the entire GCSE and A-Level Japanese curriculum as private candidates. They can provide a structured learning path, cover all the required topics, and prepare your child thoroughly for their exams.

We're aiming for a competitive university. How can a Japanese tutor help my child's application stand out?

Admissions tutors love to see candidates who have pursued a genuine interest. A qualification in a unique subject like Japanese demonstrates initiative, dedication, and a global mindset. A tutor can help your child not only achieve a great grade but also articulate this passion effectively in their personal statement.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking your first lesson.

How much do online Japanese tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search accordingly. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.

What happens in the first lesson?

The first lesson is a great opportunity for the tutor to get to know your child and understand their current knowledge of Japanese, their learning style, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session focused on building a good relationship and setting a plan for future lessons.

What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How does online tutoring work?

All our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.

Are the tutors qualified to teach Japanese?

Yes. We take great care in selecting our tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. Many are native speakers, qualified teachers, or university graduates with extensive experience in teaching Japanese and preparing students for UK exams. All are background-checked for your peace of mind.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions freely without the pressure of a classroom, allowing them to build a real understanding of the subject. Seeing their own progress week after week is a fantastic confidence booster.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So alongside academic support for subjects like Japanese, Maths or English, your child can absolutely learn a new hobby or skill, from playing the guitar to coding in Python.

How does online tutoring work?

That's no problem at all. Our tutors love working with beginners and can start right from the basics, like learning hiragana and simple greetings. They'll tailor the pace of the lessons to suit your child, ensuring they feel comfortable and motivated.
