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!

Natsumi H
Natsumi is a really fun and engaging teacher. Even when I make mistakes she takes the time to review them until I am comfortable to continue. I’m looking forward to our next lesson for the foreseeable.

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 :)

Rena has been a delight to learn with, picking up and carrying on from my independent studies towards my N5 (and beyond hopefully). Extremely friendly and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend. 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!

Brilliant Japanese tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to Newcastle or Northumbria University?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. They can help your child develop their language skills to a high standard and provide unique insights into Japanese culture, giving them fantastic material for their personal statement and helping them stand out when applying for competitive courses.
My child's school in Newcastle doesn't offer Japanese. How can a tutor fill this gap?
This is a very common reason parents come to us. A private tutor provides a structured learning path that a school might not offer. They can create a personalised curriculum for your child, covering everything from grammar and vocabulary to cultural context, ensuring they can formally demonstrate their passion and skill to universities.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right Japanese tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. Think about what your child needs – is it help with grammar, conversational practice, or support with a specific goal like a university application? You can message tutors for free to ask questions before you book to make sure they’re the perfect fit.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does a Japanese tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily see the price per hour on each tutor's profile, making it simple to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT)?
Yes, many of our Japanese tutors are experienced in preparing students for the JLPT. This is a fantastic way to get a formal qualification that proves your child's ability, which can be a huge advantage for university applications. You can message tutors to ask about their specific JLPT experience.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and all in one place.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it’s completely up to you. You can discuss what’s best for your child and your family’s schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time through the platform to ask questions or discuss their progress. It's a partnership, and we make it easy for you to stay involved and see the positive impact tutoring is having.
Is this just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we support core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and practical skills like learning guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT)?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their interests, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It’s a relaxed session designed to build confidence and help the tutor create a learning plan that’s tailored perfectly to your child.
