Are you looking for an experienced Japanese tutor?
I have over 20 years experience teaching Japanese in Japan, America, and Australia. I can help you achieve A grade level in Japanese. I can tutor not only secondary school students and adults but also primary school students.
Students who want to take JLPT tests are also catered.
I have had great success with students on a one- to- one basis. But group lessons can be arranged depending on the needs of the students.
One of my students recieved a 7 (the highest mark) in IB (International Baccalaureate) Japanese.
One of my students won the State Japanese Speech Contest and received a Special Prize at the National Japanese Speech Contest, 2011.
Tutoring can be arranged at my home. I am available after school hours and on
weekends. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

"Mrs Sumitomo is the best Japanese teacher ever! My Japanese improved a lot and I understood things much better. Since I started getting tutoring from her at the start of the year, I got A and A+ in all of my assessment pieces! I really enjoyed the tutoring sessions a lot. They are always enjoyable and Mrs Sumitomo teaches really well. I am really glad that I was able to get tutoring from her!"
