Japanese Tutors : 1-1 Japanese Preparation

Hello! My name is Hikari.
I have four years of overall teaching experience. After completing my master’s degree, I aspire to become a full-time teacher. During this time, I have taught a wide range of courses, including GCSE Economics, GCSE Business Studies, A/level Economics, A/level Business Studies, IELTS, phonics, Eiken, Business English, and conversation.
As soon as I graduated from school, many students approached me to tutor them in Economics and business studies. I then began tutoring A/Level and O/Level Economics and Business Studies. All of the students I’ve taught so far have excelled in their Edexcel and Cambridge exams. Last year, one of my students won the subject prize.
During my academic journey, I have had the opportunity to study Economics at both the GCSE and A-Level levels, following the curriculum offered by prestigious examination boards such as Cambridge and Edexcel. I enjoy teaching Business Studies mainly. My experience in Economics has been enriching and insightful, allowing me to develop a solid understanding of fundamental economic principles and concepts. I am excited to share my knowledge and expertise as a tutor. With a passion for teaching and a strong grasp of economic principles, I am well-equipped to guide students through the complexities of the subject. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible parts, providing real-world examples to enhance understanding, and fostering critical thinking skills. I am dedicated to creating a supportive learning environment that encourages active participation and growth. By choosing me as their Economics tutor, students can expect engaging lessons, personalized attention, and the tools necessary to excel in their exams and develop a deep appreciation for the subject.
I worked as a full-time teacher at a reputable international school. In addition to full-time teaching, I spent nearly two years teaching volunteers, primarily Japanese students residing in Japan, as well as overseas communication and other skills. I have also earned three diplomas to provide my students with the greatest education possible. I continued to become a TEFL/TESOL certified teacher. Teaching has become my favorite place to share my knowledge and assist students in their growth.

Hi everyone!
My name is Aadam and I am an Engineering student at Trinity College, Cambridge.

I have had experience guiding students in their Cambridge Engineering (and STEM) applications in everything from personal statements to interviews. I have particular experience in tutoring the entrance exams/interviews for which I have already prepared many resources.

Having gone through the experience myself, I understand the concerns you will have and stresses that you will be under so rest assured I will be there to answer any questions that you might have and make the process as smooth and as comfortable as possible.

I am also fluent in French and German so I can tutor you in these languages as well as in English if you prefer.

I am ready to help you succeed and hope to see you in Cambridge!

I have also had a lot of experience tutoring online via Zoom (nearly 5 years now) in many subjects at GCSE (and A-Level) so I am completely familiar with the process and I know to harness the many benefits of online tutoring and how to completely avoid its inevitable drawbacks.

I am currently a third year studying Japanese at the University of Oxford. I have just returned from my year abroad in Kobe where I spent a year taking language classes and lectures in Kobe University’s Faculty of Letters.

While on my year abroad I wrote a thesis titled Freedom in Press and Defamation in Japan: A Case-Study on the Former Unification Church”. I presented that thesis at the end of my course to the University Board and the Faculty of Letters. Prior to this I separately presented within the faculty on “Reclaimed Land in Kobe: The history and impact of man-made islands in a port city”.

I am interested in Japanese current affairs and literature. In my final two years at Oxford I will be studying a variety of subjects including: Classical Japanese Literature, Classical Japanese, and Modern History.

Outside of university I enjoy Karate, which I have been doing for 16 years.

I am a fourth-year student of Japanese at Oxford University, and a dual native French-British individual. I possess advanced-level proficiency in Japanese & upper-intermediate skills in German. I began learning Japanese on my own before university, and have successfully coached a student who now studies Chinese at Oxford. My interests include Japanese Literature (Modern & Classical), International Relations, and Japanese History and Culture.

Elected the Undergraduate Student Representative for Japanese and Korean at Oxford for two years in a row, I am dedicated to assisting my peers in both academic and personal matters. I also specialise in providing support for Modern Language Oxbridge applications, personal statements, interview techniques, and offer 1 on 1 tutoring in French and Japanese. My goal is to help students achieve their full potential through tailored and productive guidance.

I have been working as a professional tutor for nearly seven years. I graduated with a degree in HSPS from the University of Cambridge, and have been teaching a variety of humanities and English subjects ever since. I tutor English Language and Literature GCSE, Sociology A Level, Oxbridge admissions, as well as many other related-courses. Since 2020, I have adapted my work to a heavily online-based approach, though am available in person, particularly for summer school and teaching camps. Online, I utilise screensharing, PDF annotation, interactive whiteboards, shareable textbooks, past papers, and many other learning materials and worksheets that I have accumulated over the years, and in many cases technology that I have invested into, in order to make online tuition particularly engaging.

Hello! My name is Shreya and I’m Indian but lived in Japan my entire life. I’m currently in the UK for university as I am studying Human Sciences at UCL. I really love biology and maths and would also love to keep using my Japanese here so if you’re interested in any of these subjects you’ve come to the right tutor.

As a student who has completed both the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the International GCSE (IGCSE), in both of which I have received outstanding results, I will be a great tutor for you for these secondary education programs. Not only will I ensure that you understand the content required by the specification, but I will also provide you with skills and tips to ensure you achieve outstanding results in your exams as well! Lastly, I am super friendly hence if you would like to talk to me about anything else, such as the university applications process and simply life in Japan or London and the UK, I am happy to chat.
I look forward to meeting my tutees and hearing from you soon!

Hi, I’m Will. I’m a third year Japanese Studies with Chinese student at the University of Oxford. I began studying Japanese ab initio in my first year; however, I’ve since gone onto study abroad at Kobe University alongside interning in both Kyoto and Tokyo. For my prelim exams I scored 72 subsequently being awarded the TEPCO prize and a scholarship.

Language learning comes differently to every student and as such I aim to tailor sessions around an individual’s unique profile. I aim to push students to challenge themselves in their weaker areas, whether that’s productive or receptive skills, so that they can develop confidence across the abroad. I also understand how tedious learning new vocabulary and especially learning Kanji can be. As such I aim to foster a learning environment in which it instead becomes fun and rewarding.

Outside of my studies, I love to play sports. At Oxford, I have played both rugby and football at the university level. In Japan, I had the opportunity to join the university rugby club becoming one of only a handful of international students playing across the country.

Hello! My journey into materials science began with hands-on research experience at Nankai University, where I worked on the refractive properties of electromagnetic glass and investigated Tungsten Oxide as an alternative light shield. This exploration involved experimenting with its voltage-dependent refractive index, which culminated in an award-winning report. Later, an internship with China Southern Airlines gave me the chance to dive deeper into high-temperature materials. There, I studied advanced alloys for a GTF engine project, simulating material properties using COSMOL, and analyzed how Nickel-Aluminum alloys and their FCC structures can enhance ductility under high temperatures—a quality that can be improved with boron doping. Resources like Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik and MIT’s OpenCourseWare on physical metallurgy provided invaluable insights during this time.

This initial exposure to material behavior and manipulation fueled my desire to continue experimenting. Through a research program with Dr. Profundo at UC Santa Cruz, I took on the challenge of designing spaceship materials. My project involved modeling a thin-walled pressure vessel, derived for membrane stress, and calculating ideal Young’s moduli. When I extended this model to consider cylindrical shapes and non-negligible wall thicknesses, I found myself in the realm of Lame’s equations. I became intrigued by how materials like CFRP and quartz-fiber composites perform under unique stresses, learning about their high strength-to-weight ratios and suitability for aerospace applications.

Following this, I delved into the realm of non-destructive testing (NDT) with Dr. Zhang at MIT, where I conducted a literature review on ultrasonic NDT. Through studies on ultrasonic transducer models and computational imaging, I explored how these methods assess material integrity and learned about the limitations when measuring certain thermal and electrical properties.

These diverse experiences have shaped my ambition to pursue a career in materials science—a field where I feel truly inspired. As I began studying physics at UCL, I realized my drive to solve practical problems aligns more with materials science than general physics. I’m excited to engage in projects focused on energy storage and renewable energy materials, particularly in solar technology, which I believe holds potential in addressing climate change.
