    Tutors

    How we match tutors.

    We consider subject experience, teaching style and how well a tutor suits the student, not only language ability.

    Subject and goal

    English, mathematics and exam preparation

    We look for tutors with experience in the subject and level you need: English, mathematics, international school subjects, or exams such as IELTS and TOEFL.

    e.g. English, mathematics, exam preparation

    Teaching style

    Pace, structure and personality

    Some students prefer a patient pace and more conversation. Others work better with a more structured, fast-moving lesson. We take this into account.

    e.g. pace, structure, personality

    Practical needs

    Language, format, location and times

    Lessons mainly in English or with some Japanese, online or in person, with a tutor whose days and times suit your family.

    e.g. language, online or in person

    If the first tutor is not the right fit, we will suggest another. Changing tutor is included in the price.
