How Learning Japanese Can Help Your Child Stand Out
In a world of common subjects, having a skill like Japanese can make your child's university application truly memorable. It shows dedication, curiosity, and a willingness to embrace a challenge – qualities that top institutions like Loughborough University value highly. A great tutor can help your child master everything from writing hiragana and katakana to understanding complex grammar, preparing them for formal qualifications like a GCSE, A-Level, or the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) that will make their application shine.

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!

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！
