Sakinah's feedback about Satomi (Intermediate Japanese tuition near Coventry)

Satomi sensei is a great teacher and really helps you to engage with Japanese fully. I had spent a number of years self studying with no defined or specific teachings of any kind, just **Web Address Removed** and music. Satomi sensei has really helped me to begin to sew words and bits of grammar together, and importantly put everything into practice, something that I had not had the opportunity of doing first hand until beginning her lessons. For me personally, I am very textbook and self studied in the sense of needing to learn the concepts and kanji, but when there are moments when I can't study as much, it's easy to forget things because they are not being actively used and not being used to construct speech. Satomi sensei helps me to construct speech, begin to master grammar and vocab usage in the correct way and feel confident about putting it into practice at any moment. She provides great homework activities and her interactive lessons and notes work really well. She also has many tips about how to overcome particular challenges (I recently learnt a verb song!) and that is very useful. I would highly recommend Satomi sensei's lessons. ありがとうございます　さとみ先生

James's feedback about Ai (Intermediate Japanese tuition near Bootle)

As an intermedia**Contact Detail Removed**vel student, I have found my lessons with Ai to be valuable. Whether you wish to practice conversation, or instead to focus more upon grammar or literacy, she is more than willing to adapt the content and structure of the sessions in order to suit your preference. She is, furthermore, happy to field any questions which you might have in relation to the practical use of the language. Homework exercises introduce you to a wide range of content, which serves to broaden both your vocabulary and your appreciation of cultural context.

Philipp's feedback about Ai (Beginner Japanese tuition near Cambridge)

Ai is an excellent teacher, I'm always looking forward to the lessons.

Martin's feedback about Ai (Beginner Japanese tuition near Benfleet)

Ai is an excellent, very encouraging and patient teacher. She has taught me hiragana in a few months and I couldn't be happier with what she does. I look forward to continuing my japanese language studies with her.

Sarah's feedback about Rie (Intermediate Japanese tuition near Fareham)

Rie boosted my daughter's confidence significantly, in a very short time. This enabled her to feel much better prepared for her oral exam. She was very accommodating with times for lessons and understood the level of teaching required for the best outcome. We would thoroughly recommend Rei for tutoring. Thank you to her - her help was very much appreciated.

Kate's feedback about Gary (Beginner Japanese tuition near Melton Constable)

Hoping to learn some basic Japanese before travelling in Japan for a month later this year. Gary has been very helpful and is tailoring what we cover to my needs. Would recommend this tutor.

Giuseppe's feedback about Ai (Beginner Japanese tuition near Bristol)

Ai is a fantastic teacher, professional, patient, and very supportive. She made my Japanese learning journey feel much less daunting. Always clear and well-prepared, she provided all the necessary resources and homework to track progress. Highly recommended!

Karine's feedback about Ai (Beginner Japanese tuition near Solihull)

Ai-sensei is a teacher who is very adaptive and encouraging. She works well with children as well, as my son is a student of hers. She prepares content in terms that are comprehensive to intermedia**Contact Detail Removed**vel/beginner students, which makes her versatile. Overall, my son thoroughly enjoys her lessons and looks forward to them. - A young student's mother

Anyone learning Japanese might find it useful to work on their speaking, reading and writing skills with a private Japanese tutor. You can benefit from a private Japanese teacher's experience by having one-to-one lessons in your own home. Private Japanese tutoring provides you with the support you need to master the language to whatever level you are aiming for.

Private Japanese lessons have several advantages over taking a language course. For one thing our private Japanese teachers can meet your precise needs, so that someone learning Japanese for business rather than for pleasure could focus on business-related vocabulary throughout their Japanese tutoring. Another strength is that private Japanese tutoring will proceed at your pace. We hope you will be able to find a private Japanese tutor close to you, and to help you make a choice we publish student feedback about our home Japanese teachers along with profiles explaining the experience that they have.
