Private Japanese Tutoring for Advanced Learners

This advanced tutoring course is shaped around each learner's goals, whether that is the JLPT, school exams or reading manga and novels in Japanese. The tutor starts with a level check and builds a twelve-week plan together with the learner.

Sessions combine advanced grammar, kanji study, authentic reading and regular writing practice with detailed corrections. Learners keep a personal kanji and expression log and can see clear, measurable progress across the course.

How classes work

Every session is private and paced to the learner. The teacher starts by checking where the learner is, adjusts the plan to their goals and gives detailed feedback in every class.
