Hello my name is Masato. I am originally from Tokyo, Japan and now live in York, England. My greatest passion in life is teaching languages! I was a senior high school teacher in Japan for over 30 years for Kanagawa Board of Education.For most of my career my life has revolved around teaching 15 to 18 year olds as well as heading up the English department in 5 senior high schools across Kanagawa Prefecture. I was also the head football coach in all of these high schools. Over many years I have also taught exchange students and international teachers (from across the World) Japanese both at beginner...
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 :)

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.
How can a tutor help my child make their Japanese skills stand out on a UCAS application for the University of Liverpool or Manchester?
A great tutor can help frame your child's passion for Japanese as a serious academic pursuit. They can help them work towards recognised qualifications like the JLPT, guide them in exploring Japanese culture and literature for their personal statement, and build their confidence to discuss their interest articulately. This shows universities a dedicated, self-motivated learner who stands out from the crowd.
My child attends Carmel College. Can a tutor help them with a subject that isn't offered at their school?
Absolutely. Tutoring is the perfect way to support a child's interest in a subject that falls outside their school's curriculum. Our tutors can build a complete learning plan from scratch, providing expert guidance and resources that your child wouldn't otherwise have access to, helping them pursue their passion to a high level.
How do I choose the right Japanese tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We understand that finding the right fit is crucial. 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 do online Japanese tutors cost?

How do online lessons work?

Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from an expert can make a huge difference. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief lesson by lesson.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can easily arrange a frequency that works best for your child and your family's routine.

We offer tutors for a huge range of skills! Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or get help with their degree, we have experts ready to support their goals.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a specific exam, like the JLPT?
