Masato I
Highly experienced Japanese teacher
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...

Sally C
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！

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a competitive application to the University of Sheffield's East Asian Studies program?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. They can help your child deepen their language skills, explore cultural topics, and build the confidence needed to create a strong personal statement that will stand out.
My child's school in Sheffield doesn't offer Japanese. Can a tutor provide a structured course?
Yes. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are brilliant at creating a structured learning plan from scratch, whether your child is a complete beginner or has some prior knowledge. They can build a curriculum that moves at your child's pace and covers all the key skills they need.
How do I choose the right Japanese tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by experience and price, read reviews from other parents, and even watch short introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Japanese tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a simple and effective way to learn one-to-one from the comfort of your own home.
How much do online Japanese tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to find a tutor in your price range.
My child is a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with students at all levels, from absolute beginners to those preparing for advanced qualifications. They will tailor their approach to make sure your child feels comfortable and supported from the very first lesson.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Japanese?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. This focused attention from an expert is one of the best ways to build fluency and confidence.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one hour-long lesson per week, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
What kind of results can we expect?
While 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, the biggest change we hear about from parents is an increase in their child's confidence. A great tutor helps your child feel capable and excited about learning, which is a success in itself.
How much do online Japanese tutors cost?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we're here to help with Japanese, Maths, or English, your child can also learn a musical instrument, a new coding language, or get support with university-level courses. There's a tutor for almost any goal.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
