Why A-Level Japanese Can Make Your Child's University Application Stand Out
Choosing a subject like Japanese for A-Level shows universities a level of dedication and intellectual curiosity that goes beyond the standard curriculum. It’s not just about learning a language; it’s about your child developing discipline as they master kanji, and analytical skills as they tackle complex grammar. These are the exact qualities that admissions tutors at competitive universities, from SOAS to King's, look for in a standout candidate, giving your child a compelling story to tell on their personal statement.

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 :)

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 SOAS. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are university lecturers or graduates from top institutions like SOAS themselves. They understand what admissions tutors are looking for and can help your child hone their language skills and personal statement to create a really compelling application.
We live in Tower Hamlets. How can online tutoring help my child compete with students from across London?
Online tutoring levels the playing field. It gives your child access to the very best Japanese tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. This means you can find a specialist with specific experience in A-Level exam preparation who can give your child the dedicated support they need to stand out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Japanese tutor?
We know that 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 do I choose the right Japanese tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who have strong experience with the A-Level Japanese curriculum and then sending them a message to discuss your child's specific goals before booking.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, and we interview and background-check every single one. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does a Japanese tutor cost?
Our Japanese tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How do online Japanese lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard for practising kanji, and a space for sharing documents like past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor will build a rapport with your child, celebrate their successes, and help them overcome challenges. Seeing their skills improve with a supportive mentor is a huge confidence booster.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
This really depends on your child's starting point and their goals. Many parents find that a regular weekly session helps build momentum and confidence. The great thing is that it's completely flexible – you and the tutor can decide on a schedule that works best for your child.
What qualifications do your Japanese tutors have?
Our tutors have a wide range of backgrounds, including qualified teachers, university lecturers, and native Japanese speakers with degrees from top universities. You can see all their qualifications and experience listed on their individual profiles to help you make the right choice.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like music production or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with A-Level Japanese, your child could also learn to play the guitar, get help with their university dissertation, or even learn a new skill like coding.
How do online Japanese lessons actually work?
Payments are handled securely and simply through the Tutorful website. You add your payment details to your account, and after each lesson is completed, the payment is processed automatically. It's straightforward and you don't need to worry about handling cash.
