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
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 is aiming for a university like Exeter or Plymouth. Can a tutor help their Japanese skills stand out on a UCAS application?

Absolutely. A tutor can help your child work towards a recognised qualification, like the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), which is a fantastic way to formally demonstrate their language skills. This can be a powerful addition to a personal statement, showing dedication and a unique academic interest.

With the competitive grammar school system in Torquay, how can tutoring in Japanese give my child an edge?

In a competitive environment, having a unique skill can make a huge difference. Tutoring in Japanese allows your child to develop a deep expertise in a subject not offered in most schools, showcasing their initiative and passion. This can be a compelling talking point in university applications and interviews, setting them apart from other candidates.

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

We make it easy. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can discuss your child's goals and see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.

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

We know how important the right connection is. 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. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.

How much does online Japanese tutoring cost in Torquay?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps, which helps your child see their own progress and feel more confident in their abilities.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or pick up a new hobby, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their interests.

How many lessons will my child need?

This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a weekly lesson to stay on top of their learning, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam or goal. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. You and your child can message the tutor anytime to ask questions or get feedback. After each lesson, the tutor will share what they covered, which is a great way to stay involved and see how your child is getting on.

How do online lessons work?

Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson with up to 24 hours' notice directly through the platform. For last-minute changes, it's always best to message your tutor directly.
