Frequently Asked Questions

Click the question to read the answer

How long are the lessons? Lessons for adults usually last for a minimum of 90 minutes, although longer lessons are also available. We can also arrange shorter lessons of 60 minutes online, or for children under 12, or if the student travels to the home of the tutor. Online lessons for kids can be 60 minutes, 45 minutes or 30 minutes. We find that ‘little and often’ works really well for younger learners, and a frequency of 2 or 3 online lessons a week can be really beneficial. In person 1-1 Japanese lessons for children with tutors are usually 60 minutes  (12 & under) or 90 minutes minimum (16 & under).
How many lessons should I/my child take? Lessons for adults are available in block bookings of 10 x 90 minutes, or more. We don’t book packages of fewer lessons because, although tutors and learners are matched carefully, it takes time to build an effective learning relationship. Our minimum booking for children under 16 is 12 hours of lesson time. We don’t book packages of fewer lessons because, although tutors and learners are matched carefully, it takes time to build an effective learning relationship. Many learners continue their lessons for years, appreciating the learning & benefitting from their special relationship with a native-speaking Japanese tutor!
What if I need to cancel a lesson at the last minute? Please give at least 24 hours’ notice of change or cancellation to lessons. Any lesson cancelled by the Learner (or the Learner’s Parent or Guardian) with less than 24 hours’ notice, and not rescheduled, will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of the total lesson fee. This will apply to any lessons cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, for any reason. This fee is to reimburse the Tutor for their lost opportunity of work. Lessons cancelled less than 3 hours in advance by the Learner will incur a cancellation fee of 100% of the total lesson fee. This will apply to any lessons cancelled less than 3 hours in advance, for any reason. This fee is to reimburse the Tutor for their lost opportunity of work. Please try to reschedule lessons rather than cancelling, whenever possible.
