Study Japanese in Exeter

Thanks for visiting my home page! If you live in Exeter or East Devon (or your computer has Skype/iChat installed) and you’re interested in learning Japanese or studying Japanese culture, why not contact me to arrange some lessons?

Private tuition

I teach students of all levels, ranging from absolute beginners to advanced learners preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (Nihongo Noryoku Shiken). Students of all ages are welcome, either individually or in groups of up to three people.

I can also provide lessons in other aspects of Japanese culture, including flower arranging (ikebana), paper folding (origami) and Japanese cooking.

Perhaps you’re planning to visit Japan as a tourist, or perhaps you need to learn business Japanese — whatever your intentions, my lessons are tailored to your individual requirements, so you can learn the material best suited to you, and at your own pace. See below for details on how to apply for classes.
