It can be frustrating when you see your child has a real passion for a subject like Japanese, but local schools and colleges in the New Forest don't offer a clear way for them to study it formally.

Turn Your Child's Passion for Japanese into a University Advantage

Learning Japanese is about more than just a new language; it’s a skill that shows dedication, cultural awareness, and a unique intellectual curiosity. From mastering hiragana and katakana to understanding complex grammar, the discipline it requires is highly valued by top universities. A formal qualification in Japanese can significantly strengthen your child's application to competitive institutions like the University of Southampton or SOAS, demonstrating a commitment that sets them apart from their peers.

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...

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...

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 the New Forest doesn't offer Japanese. Can a tutor help them achieve 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 GCSE or A-Level Japanese syllabus as private candidates, covering everything from grammar and vocabulary to exam technique.

We're hoping my child will apply to the University of Southampton. How can a Japanese tutor strengthen their application?

A qualification in a subject like Japanese demonstrates a huge amount of self-discipline and intellectual curiosity, which is very impressive to admissions tutors at competitive universities like Southampton. A tutor can help your child achieve a top grade that makes their UCAS application stand out.

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

It's a great idea to watch tutors' intro videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. You can message them for free to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

How much does online Japanese tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can set your own budget and filter your search to find a great tutor who fits your family's needs. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 do online Japanese lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including a whiteboard, video chat, and a tool for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.

Are the tutors background checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of our tutors have been background checked. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.

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

One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors use conversation exercises and positive feedback to help them feel much more confident.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works perfectly. This provides consistency and allows your child to build momentum. However, you can arrange a schedule that works best for your family directly with your tutor.

What happens in a typical first lesson?

The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about what they enjoy, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.

Can tutoring help my child if they're a complete beginner?

Definitely. Our tutors love working with beginners and can start right from the basics, like learning hiragana and simple greetings. They can make learning feel fun and accessible, building a strong foundation from the very first lesson.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or improve their creative writing, we can help.
