Lessons taught in English,
supported in English and Japanese.
We support homework, reading, essay writing and presentation preparation for international school students, following the material covered at school. When working entirely in English feels difficult, we can also explain and discuss the content in Japanese.
Homework, reading, essays and presentations. IB preparation support may be available depending on the subject and content.
Concerns we can help with
We help students understand lesson content, approach assignments more efficiently and strengthen the work they submit.
Lessons in English are hard to follow
When an English explanation is not enough, we can also work through the content in Japanese.
Homework and assignments take too long
We break down the task, research and writing process, then plan the work leading up to the deadline.
Writing or presenting opinions in English is hard
We practise the phrasing, structure and reasoning that essays and presentations call for.
Following the school's content,
with support where it is needed.
We help your child understand the task, think through the content and express their own ideas, without completing the homework for them.
Homework support
We read the instructions together and clarify what the task requires.
Reading support
We work through textbooks and source materials, clarifying key terms, main ideas and relevant background knowledge.
Essays and written work
We work together on argument, paragraph structure, reasoning and natural English phrasing.
Presentation preparation
Where needed, we help organise what to say, structure the slides and rehearse the delivery.
Explaining content in Japanese
When English alone makes something difficult to understand, we can also work through the ideas in Japanese.
Subjects taught in EnglishSubjects and skills taught in English
Content differs by school and year group, so we start by looking at the current assignments and materials before suggesting an approach.

We work through textbooks and source materials and identify the main points.
Writing
Reviewing the argument, reasoning and paragraph structure to strengthen submitted work.
Presentation
Support with what to say, how to structure the slides, and rehearsing the delivery.
Science
Working through terminology and concepts to make sense of science content.
Humanities
Support with reading history, social science and inquiry materials, and forming a clear view of the content.
IB preparation
IB preparation may be available depending on the subject and content. Support can cover the reading, writing and research foundations needed for the programme.
Homework, research and essay support can also be discussed based on the school's assignments.
We work alongside school assignments.
We begin with the lesson content and assignments, then identify which areas need to be understood before the rest becomes manageable.
Review assignments and materials
We look at school assignments, lesson handouts, textbooks and submission requirements.
Identify what is unclear
We look at the English, the subject content, relevant background knowledge and the reasoning required.
Prepare work for submission or presentation
We help bring essays, research and presentations closer to the school's requirements.
