Professional Japanese tutor
Hi! I'm Kaho from Yokohama Japan. I just got my master's in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition at the University of Barcelona.I live in London UK, have lived in Michigan USA, Victoria Canada, LA USA and Barcelona Spain. I love traveling. I have visited 33 countries so far. Japanese is a context-dependent language.

I have helped students with their exams, homework, business presentation preparation, and so on. I also have a textbook "genki"...

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!

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！

asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child get the SQA Higher in Japanese needed for the University of Glasgow?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in the SQA curriculum and know what it takes to achieve top grades. They can help your child structure their learning, prepare for exams, and build the skills needed to create a strong application for competitive courses.

My child attends a competitive Glasgow school. Can a tutor provide the extra support they need?

Yes. A personal tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention that complements their schoolwork. They can help your child consolidate what they've learned in class, tackle difficult topics, and build the confidence to excel in a competitive academic environment.

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

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking your first session.

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

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have 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 much does online Japanese tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.

How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate (or equivalent for Scotland and Northern Ireland). We also interview every single tutor to ensure they are a great fit for our students.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Are your tutors qualified to teach for SQA exams?

Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience with the Scottish curriculum, including National 5s and Highers. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and qualifications or message them directly to ask.

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

One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation practice and targeted exercises to help them build fluency and confidence.

Can my child get help with both written and spoken Japanese?

Of course. Lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. The tutor can create a learning plan that balances grammar and writing skills with conversational practice to ensure they become a well-rounded and confident Japanese speaker.

How quickly will we see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, consistent lessons can make a big difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.

How does online tutoring actually work?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to developing skills in coding or even public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
