Cost of Japanese lessons with a private teacher

Japanese tutors are not found in every town, so learners in Hacklinge often turn to university evening courses or to lessons online. In person, expect £30 to £45 an hour; group evening courses cost less but move slowly.

Online, native Japanese tutors charge from around £12 to £35 an hour. Many have experience with English-speaking learners and use materials such as Genki or Minna no Nihongo, which makes it easy to switch tutors without starting over.

JLPT N5 to N1: preparing for the Japanese exam

The JLPT runs in July and December, with five levels from N5, the easiest, to N1. It tests reading and listening only, so a tutor also keeps your speaking up to speed. N2 is the level many Japanese employers ask for.

The exam is held in London and Edinburgh, and places go quickly. Learners in Kent usually book a few intensive lessons on past papers in the two months before the test, after a year or more of weekly lessons.

Hiragana, katakana, kanji: how lessons are organised

Your first weeks go on the two syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, which a good tutor helps you learn in a fortnight. Kanji come next, a few at a time, alongside grammar and polite forms of speech.

Japanese takes English speakers about 2,200 hours for professional fluency. Two lessons a week, daily vocabulary review and Japanese television with subtitles help you make steady progress in Hacklinge, even from a standing start.

Japanese tutors: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week all year round

The most common pace among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A final push before an exam

Three or four sessions a week for one to two months, focused on the format of the test, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation to build confidence

No textbook: you talk about your day, the news or your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Japanese tutors in Hacklinge: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to learn Japanese for travel?

With one or two lessons a week, three months are enough for greetings, ordering food, shopping and asking directions. Reading signs takes longer, so learn hiragana and katakana first.

Which JLPT level should a beginner aim for?

N5 is a realistic first goal after six months to a year of regular lessons. It proves you can read basic phrases and understand slow everyday conversation.

Is a native Japanese tutor necessary for beginners?

Not necessarily: a non-native tutor who learned Japanese can explain the grammar clearly in English. Many learners start that way, then move to a native tutor for conversation and pronunciation.
