Frequently Asked Questions


Can I have help with preparation for my Japanese exam?
Of course you can! I provide some stats and analysis for the exam you are planning to sit and provide a lot of exercises prior to the actual exam so that you will feel a little more relaxed at the test.
I really want to combine the language learning and cultural study. Can you help?
Yes, I can! I already have abundant of cultural slides which may be of your interest. You can also request a slide about what you want to particularly learn. I will make some slides for students upon request to satisfy their curiosity.
How much is a lesson?
£36.00 per 60 minute lesson, £54.00 per 90 minute lesson
What is your pedagogy?
I use a mixture of direct and indirect teaching methods. As I have worked as a translator/interpreter, I can use my knowledge in the languages when I explain grammar to you. But I maintain some instructions and conversations in Japanese.
I have an unforeseeable plan of change. Can I cancel/postpone a lesson after booking?
Please give me a 24-hour notice. In that case, I will not charge for the planned lesson.
How can I book a lesson?
Please first of all inform me that you are interested in taking some lessons with me. I will initiate a zoom call with you (free of charge) to evaluate your level and to get to know you, your ambition and aims and purposes. Once the first lesson is planned, we will plan future lessons one at a time at the end of the lesson. Or alternatively, upon your fee payment, you can plan upcoming four lessons prior to the block of four lessons.
How can I pay you?
Those who live in the UK, please pay via bank transfer. I ask students to pay 4 lesson payments per one payment (roughly a month tuition fees in one go). This is simply to reduce my administrative work. I ask your kind understanding for this system please. I keep each lesson number, so will get in touch with you again when the next payment is due.
