For ambitious students in Leicester, fluency in Japanese is more than just a hobby—it's a powerful asset. It demonstrates dedication and a global perspective that admissions tutors at the University of Leicester and WQE College notice. Whether your child is aiming for a degree in international business or modern languages, having a strong grasp of Japanese on their UCAS application can be the unique skill that sets them apart from other candidates. It shows they can master complex grammar and understand a new culture, skills that are highly valued everywhere.

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.

Mei K
Iworked with Mei to wake up some very old rusty Japanese ahead of a business trip. She was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, very engaged with planning lessons, and providing extensive notes and vocabulary after each lesson. At the end of our six sessions together, I was much better prepared, and the business trip was a success. I would highly recommend Mei to anyone looking for a tutor.

Sally C
Sally has been my Japanese tutor for about a year (maybe a bit longer) she is friendly and personable. In addition Sally has always taken into account my learning style and goals in relation to how the lessons. I am learning both written and spoken Japanese and believe most of my progress has been due to her being my tutor. I would highly recommend working with Sally.

Natsumi H
My husband and I had so much fun learning Japanese with Natsumi.
She was fun and was very helpful if I found anything tricky.
The lessons were full with conversational Japanese.
We were always surprised when the lesson would finish as time flies when you’re having fun.
Natsumi was always excited and happy when you remembered words or phrases from last lesson.
Thank you Natsumi!

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!
