Personal Description:
I am a PGCE-qualified teacher with two Master's degrees, and I also serve as a Cambridge International examiner. My teaching expertise covers Mandarin GCSE (9-1), IGCSE, GCE (A level), HSK, Japanese GCSE (9-1), and JLPT qualifications. I teach my students both on-site and via Zoom for private students.
Teaching Experience:
I teach both Mandarin and Japanese at local independent schools and universities, and I am also an experienced private tutor. I instruct both simplified and traditional Chinese, as well as Japanese, to both native and non-native students, including professionals. Over the past decade, my students have consistently achieved outstanding results in Edexcel Chinese (9-1) and Japanese GCSEs (9-1), earning A* and Grade 9. Additionally, they have excelled with As in A-level Chinese.
I've successfully tutored numerous students who pursued further 'Oriental studies' at Oxford University, completed an MPhil in Chinese studies at Oxford, and Japanese at Leeds University and Cardiff University.
In addition, I possess a strong working knowledge of the national curriculum and am very familiar with the demands and expectations of both state and independent schooling.
Tutoring Approach:
Encouraging, effective, student-centered approach, and developing a love for learning.

Personal Description:
Nice to meet you! I'm Rebecca; I'm 34 years old and graduated from Bangor University with a BSc in Psychology with Clinical and Health Psychology. After university I spent a year as a specialist support worker for adults with autism and autistic traits. With my psychology degree and experience I am more than happy to cater for students that might need a bit of extra help, and have experience teaching students with Aspergers, Personality Disorder, and depression.
Following uni, I spent nearly 2 years teaching English as a foreign language in Japan. Whilst in Japan, I also learnt how to speak conversational Japanese, and can also read and write hiragana, katakana, and N5/ N4 level kanji. I now tutor English and Japanese full time, and have registered my own language services company.
To better understand what is needed for GCSE Japanese, I took my GCSE in 2016 achieving an A*. I am happy to help students work towards their GCSE or N5 level Japanese, and I am constantly training to improve my students learning experience.
I'm currently only teaching via Skype, as I have a baby and face-to-face lessons are impractical at the moment. Once she starts nursery, I may be able to offer some lessons at my classroom one morning a week.
Teaching Experience:
My teaching experience includes the 2 years I spent teaching English as a foreign language in Japan, where I designed the yearly teaching schedules, lesson plans, and then taught the lessons. My students were from the age of 3 to 65, so I have experience in teaching all ages. Whilst in Japan I also taught beginner's Japanese to foreigners living in my local area.
Since returning to England in 2013 I've been tutoring English and Japanese full time. I took my GCSE Japanese in 2016 achieving an A*. I'm currently teaching around 15 different students 1 to 1, and relish the challenges and individuality between each new student.
At university I volunteered for several groups including an activity group for disadvantaged children, assisting in secondary school classrooms, volunteering at the local mental health unit and volunteering as a charity shop assistant.
Prior to this, I often tutored my younger sister (who has Asperger's Syndrome) and helped her to understand her school work. I also clocked up countless hours of babysitting for parents around the local area.
Tutoring Approach:
When students attend my lessons, I like to think that they come not only to learn, but for the experience. I deliver fun, relaxed, friendly lessons where my students can feel comfortable and just enjoy learning something they're interested in. I write and provide all of my own lesson materials, and adapt them to my student's learning style - and then mix in some games to help practice the new vocabulary!
I also encourage my students to message me with questions, or to send pictures of their work for discussions outside of lessons too - so if you're ever stuck during your studies, always know that you've got someone to ask!

PRIVATE CHINESE (MANDARIN/CANTONESE) LESSONS WITH QUALIFIED NATIVE TUTOR (GCSE/AS/AL/ADULT LEARNER)
Hello and Nihao! My name is James. I have realised that Chinese has become a more and more popular language worldwide recently due to the increased economic activities China does with the rest of the world. It is the most widely spoken language in the world (approx. 1.3 billion Chinese speakers in the world). It is also one of the six official languages in the UN. It is now a trend that in order to be a successful business person or even a professional in other aspects, it is important to acquire the ability to speak Chinese and to understand the Chinese culture.
As a Chinese Language Support Officer at University of Exeter and an ex Chinese Teacher at a private boarding school (Trinity School in Teignmouth, Devon), I would like to promote the Chinese language and culture as much as I can. I am now offering private Chinese lessons at a learner-friendly price in the Torbay and South Devon area. The price is as below:
GCSE: £27 PER HOUR PER PERSON
AS/A-LEVEL: £27 PER HOUR PER PERSON
ADULT LEARNER/UNIVERSITY LEVEL: £27 PER HOUR PER PERSON

As a life-time passion, I have had an extensive training in Martial Arts since I was 15. So far, I have been training in boxing, wing chun, Muay-Thai, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Filipino Kali free style wrestling and MMA. I was the University Students' Champion in a Muay Thai Tournament in 2007 back in Hong Kong. Seeing MMA and self-defence has become more and more popular nowadays, I am offering private Martial Arts/Self Defence lessons. If you are interested in learning any martial arts, whether as a beginner or as an experienced fighter hoping to sharpen your skills or simply just want to learn self-defence to protect yourself, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can arrange 1:1 sessions or group sessions according to your needs. Price is as below:

I look forward to hearing from you.

★Cancellation Policy: Due to too many cancellations without advance notice (No Show) recently, sadly I decided to introduce a cancellation policy. Should you cancel your lesson, please let me know 12 hours before the booked slot for no charge cancellation. I am reasonable to discuss the case if it's an emergency including illness. Otherwise, 100% of your tuition will be charged.
The sad cases include...
Student A attended only 3 lessons and 5 No Shows in 8 weeks, paid for only 2 lessons and completely disappeared afterwards. No answer to my phone, text, or email.
Student B had too many last minute cancellations just 10min before our lesson while I had paid for non-refundable childcare for my son during the lesson hours. Eventually she hardly made any progress after a year and discontinued as a result of discussion.
★Tuition payment: Bank transfer. Account detail will be provided once we both agreed to start lessons.
Many thanks.

Personal Description:
I have lived in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom since December 2009. I am originally from Kumamoto, where I completed a training course at the EII Japanese Language Centre. I have now been teaching Japanese to students of all levels for nearly ten years.
Teaching Experience:
I started teaching Japanese in Kumamoto, Japan 10 years ago. I teach both children and adults and from absolute beginners to advanced level students. After moving to England I've been teaching from my home.
I also have 8 years experience of teaching online using Skype and an interactive whiteboard for students all over the world. I have worked for a major Japanese online school for 2 years.
I have taught students who aim to take the JLPT exam, the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (from the1st to 5th grade), and who are studying for The Duke of Edinburgh award.
I have also helped business people who are planning to work for Japanese companies.
My lesson fees are as follows:
Face-to-face lessons/Online lessons
• Private Lessons : £28 for a one hour individual lesson
• Group Lessons
2 people : £23per person for a one hour lesson (at my home)
3 people : £20 per person for a one hour lesson
4-5 people : £18 per person for a one hour lesson
6-8 people : £15per person for a one hour lesson
You can take group lessons with your friends or family members. Discounted lesson rates are available if you can collect a group of between 2 and 8 people.
Tutoring Approach:
I begin by introducing essential sentence patterns and teaching how to use them in practise conversations. I use role-play to make the conversations real and teach how to speak Japanese naturally. You will soon realise my lessons are completely different from normal language studies at school and find that my method is both practical and effective.

Personal Description:
A native Japanese from Tokyo with the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language. Lived in the UK for over 25 years. Specifically trained to teach non-Japanese learners. Teaching full time as a profession. My background is in graphic design but I travelled around New Zealand and Australia before coming to the UK. Through my travel, I met people from many different countries and greatly enjoyed the experience. I live in Kings Norton which is in the south side of Birmingham.
Teaching Experience:
I taught my son Japanese singlehandedly from home without outside help and he got A* for both Japanese GCSE and A level. I take on both adults and students ranging from adults with Japanese connection in business, students who are studying for GCSE/JLPT. Young people who want to live and work in Japan in the future, people who want to watch Japanese anime without subtitles, people who want to visit Japan on holiday and much more. The level of my students range from complete beginners to upper-intermediate. I have also taught groups of children, and also a group of adults at a company. Both group types had some cultural sessions in which I received excellent feedback.
Number of people I teach weekly on one to one bases as of July 2022: over 30 people
Tutoring Approach:
I am friendly, enthusiastic and dedicated, and am happy to incorporate various aspects of Japan such as culture, anime, food etc. to add depth and insight in order to enrich your learning experience. I use Skype and online notepad for online lessons, and for both face-to-face and online, I normally issue 'no obligation' weekly homework unless you opt out, from over 30 textbooks and workbooks which I have accumulated over the years. Lessons normally continue throughout the year including school summer holidays and Christmas.

Personal Description:
Hi, I've studied Japanese for 3 years, and spent a year in Japan and am more than capable to teach basic Japanese to anyone who would like to begin learning the basics such as Hiragana, Katakana, basic Kanji and beginner's grammar. I am also able to teach University years 1 and 2 as well. No textbook required as I will be providing the necessary materials. Hope to hear from you soon so we can improve our language skills together!
Teaching Experience:
I have experience teaching English in Japan for a year, and as a result am quite adept and explaining the rules of grammar in English as well as Japanese.
Tutoring Approach:
I mix the use of textbook, speaking and listening exercises, reading and writing all together to provide a full experience of the language.

Personal Description:
I studied Japanese at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and got my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Japan. Having spent 7 years living in Japan, I have level 1 (N1) of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). I also have skills in traditional Japanese arts, such as tea ceremony and calligraphy. I want to share my passion for the Japanese language with everybody, from complete beginners to students going to Japan in the near future.
Teaching Experience:
I have over 10 years of experience in private tutoring and teaching at the university level. I have successfully tutored students who got jobs or enrolled at universities in Japan, as well as passed JLPT N5-N3 levels.
Tutoring Approach:
Every student is different. Every student's approach to studying is different. Every student's objective of studying Japanese is different. I take all of it into account, and tailor classes for each student. We will decide on realistic pace and goals, and by combining our efforts will try to achieve them.
I also offer a fast-track Japanese language course - the methodology I was trained with at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. It is a comprehensive course and you build up the skills in all areas of the language - starting with speaking and listening, then followed by reading and writing. In one year you should be able to have daily conversations (equivalent to JLPT N4), and in two to three years you would be able to comprehend coherent conversations in everyday situations and beyond (equivalent to JLPT N3).

🇯🇵 Friendly & Experienced Japanese Tutor 🇯🇵
Helping learners of all ages enjoy Japanese with confidence!
Hello! My name is Yoko. I was born and raised in Japan, spent seven years living in the UK, and now live in Yokohama.
I enjoy traveling, watching films, reading, and - most of all - connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
I always look forward to hearing what sparked your interest in Japan and the Japanese language!
Teaching Experience:
🌸 Teaching Experience
I've been teaching Japanese online for over five years, and I feel incredibly grateful that many of my students have continued learning with me for a long time.
I also taught Japanese on a leisure course at a college in the UK.
My lessons are friendly, flexible, and tailored to each learner's goals - whether it's speaking more naturally, preparing for an exam, or exploring Japanese culture.
The Japanese language can be somewhat challenging for students to grasp. However, by developing a solid foundation and building a wide vocabulary, the process becomes achievable and rewarding for everyone.
For students who plan to use Japanese in a working environment, I have a strong understanding of both Business Japanese and Japanese business etiquette, and can provide practical, culturally informed lessons.
I aim to offer lessons where you not only enjoy learning Japanese but also gain deeper insights into Japan and its culture.
Tutoring Approach:
🧩 What to Expect in Lessons
I always create a relaxed and encouraging learning space where students feel comfortable trying new things.
Typical lesson flow:
Warm-up conversation
Review of the previous lesson
Main study using a textbook or online materials
Recap of the key points
Lesson types include:
Daily conversation
JLPT preparation
Business Japanese & etiquette
GCSE Japanese
Children's lessons (age-appropriate and fun)
Half-hour lessons available for young learners (£10)
Explanations can be provided in English if needed.
📚 Materials
Minna no Nihongo
Genki
Kodomo no Nihongo (for children)
Note: Lessons are conducted on a computer with screen sharing.
If you're looking for a supportive and enjoyable way to study Japanese, I'd love to help you on your journey.
Let's learn together - at your pace, and with confidence!

Personal Description:
Experienced Native Japanese Tutor, based in Chehire. Fun, Friendly & Personalised Lessons. All levels are welcome✨
Hello! I'm Keiko, a native Japanese tutor based in Cheshire, in the UK. I love helping people from all backgrounds not just learn Japanese, but truly enjoy the experience and feel confident using it in everyday conversations.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy cooking and discovering delicious food from around the world . I love travelling, spending time with my Jack Russell Terrier Stella, and learning new things myself - at the moment, I'm studying Spanish 🇪🇸 and having fun with guitar, drumming and dancing. As a fellow learner, I really understand the ups and downs of studying a new language.
Whether you're just starting out, returning after a break, or looking to build fluency, I'll guide you in a supportive and enjoyable way - no need to be perfect, just open to learning at your own pace. Lessons with me are friendly, relaxed, and focused on steady progress.
Teaching Experience:
I've been teaching Japanese for over 10 years, both online and in person, to learners of all ages - from young children and teenagers to adults at every level. Each lesson is carefully tailored to suit your individual needs, goals, and interests.
Lessons are taught in Japanese, English, or a mix - whichever you prefer - and always at a pace that works for you. My focus is on making the language practical, accessible, and enjoyable, no matter your reason for learning.
📚 Here's what you can expect at different levels:
🌱 Beginners
- Learn hiragana and katakana step-by-step
- Build useful phrases for daily life and travel
- Begin speaking from the very first lessons
- Pick up natural expressions and everyday slang
🌿 Intermediate learners
- Improve fluency through speaking and listening
- Use grammar and vocabulary in real-world contexts
- Express opinions and ideas clearly
- Start enjoying anime, manga or reading simple articles
🌸 Advanced learners
- Speak more fluently and naturally
- Learn formal and business Japanese (keigo)
- Discuss culture, news, and social issues in Japanese
- Understand subtle, native-level expressions and nuance
In every lesson, you'll receive:
✔ Clear, simple explanations of grammar
✔ Personalised lesson plans
✔ Speaking and listening practice
✔ Encouragement and support - mistakes are always welcome here!
Tutoring Approach:
✨If you've ever thought:
"I want to speak Japanese naturally",
"I love anime or Japanese culture and want to understand more",
or "I'm learning for travel, work, or personal growth" - you're in the right place.
Many learners feel nervous about speaking, or have struggled to stay motivated in the past. That's completely normal - and you're definitely not alone. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and excited about your progress.
✨In my lessons:
- You can learn at your own pace in a relaxed, friendly environment
- It's perfectly fine to make mistakes - that's how we learn
- Lessons are designed just for you, with your goals in mind
- You'll build real communication skills, not just textbook knowledge
Learning Japanese should feel fun and rewarding, not stressful or overwhelming. I'm here to support you every step of the way and help you enjoy the journey.
Let's build your Japanese skills together - one step at a time, with confidence and a smile. I look forward to meeting you in our lesson!
