Why A-Level Japanese Can Make Your Child's University Application Stand Out

Choosing Japanese shows intellectual curiosity, discipline, and a global mindset – qualities that are highly valued by competitive universities. Far from being a less rigorous option, mastering a language with three writing systems (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji) demonstrates incredible analytical skill and dedication. A tutor can help your child articulate these skills, showcasing their linguistic talent as a unique and compelling part of their personal statement and future academic potential.

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 :)

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 is aiming for a top university like King's College London. Can a tutor help their Japanese A-Level stand out on their UCAS application?

Absolutely. A specialist tutor can help your child achieve top grades and articulate the unique analytical skills they've developed studying Japanese. This can turn their subject choice into a compelling part of their personal statement, showing admissions tutors they are a dedicated and curious candidate.

With the competition from other students in South London, how can a tutor give my child an edge?

A tutor provides personalised, one-to-one attention that's impossible in a busy classroom. They can focus on your child's specific weaknesses, consolidate their knowledge, and push them beyond the curriculum, building the confidence and deep subject mastery needed to stand out.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Japanese tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. 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 I choose the right Japanese tutor for my child?

You can view detailed tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, student reviews, and a short introductory video. You can also message tutors directly before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're the perfect match.

How much does online Japanese tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees.

How does online tutoring actually work?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we have a rigorous selection process – we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.

Do you only offer academic subjects? My other child is interested in learning guitar.

We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academic subjects, you can find expert tutors for music, like guitar and piano, coding languages like Python, and even support for personal hobbies.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

By providing a safe and supportive learning environment, a tutor helps your child tackle difficult topics at their own pace. Each small success in a one-to-one session builds their self-belief, which they can then take back into the school classroom.

What levels of Japanese do you cover?

Our tutors can support students at all levels, from complete beginners learning Hiragana for the first time, through to GCSE and A-Level exam preparation, and even university-level studies. You can find a tutor with the right experience for your child's specific stage.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency and allows them time to practise between sessions. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your family's needs, whether that's more frequent lessons before an exam or fortnightly sessions.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Our platform makes it easy to track progress. You'll get feedback from your tutor, and many parents tell us the first thing they notice is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject. Plus, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
