Learning Japanese is about more than just mastering hiragana and katakana; it’s a skill that shows dedication, cultural curiosity, and a unique global perspective. For competitive universities, having a formal qualification in a subject like Japanese can be a powerful differentiator on a UCAS application. It demonstrates a commitment to learning that goes beyond the standard curriculum, helping your child’s application shine and opening doors to exciting future opportunities.

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 :)

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 Hastings doesn't offer Japanese. Can a tutor help them get a GCSE or A-Level?

Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students through the entire curriculum for private exam entry. They can create a structured learning plan covering all the material and exam techniques your child needs to achieve a formal qualification.

We're hoping for a competitive university. How can a Japanese qualification help my child's UCAS application stand out?

Admissions tutors at top universities look for applicants who show initiative and passion beyond the standard subjects. A GCSE or A-Level in Japanese is a fantastic way to demonstrate this. It shows dedication, a global mindset, and a willingness to take on a challenge – qualities that make any application much stronger.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose experience aligns with your child's goals, whether that's passing an exam, building conversational fluency, or simply exploring a passion.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a document uploader. It's designed to be just as effective as being in the same room, but with all the convenience of learning from home.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious, and the tutor can tailor their teaching style to what works best for them. Seeing their skills improve week after week is a fantastic confidence booster.

Do you only offer academic subjects like Japanese?

Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, coding, or even public speaking, we can help.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Lessons are typically an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and schedule.

Can my child get help with conversational Japanese as well as exam prep?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors can tailor lessons to any goal. If your child wants to improve their speaking and listening skills for a trip or just for fun, the tutor can focus on practical, conversational Japanese.

Are your tutors background-checked?

You can get started very quickly. Many parents find the perfect tutor and have their first lesson booked within 24 hours. Simply browse tutors, send a few messages, and book a time that works for you.
