COVID-19 UPDATE

Learning Japanese with Covid-19 Restrictions

Well as the saying goes "when you get lemons, make lemonade".

All classes are running online - it's business as usual for our school!

Due to Covid-19 restrictions our school has been operating 100% online since late March 2020. The health and safety of our students and staff is extremely important to us.

Our school has invested into technology and internet that ensures all students continue to have a high quality online learning experience with our teachers.

We now have many new classes that have actually never been to our classrooms in Nunawading. Who would've thought! We also now teach students who live in regional Victoria, interstate and overseas.

As restrictions ease and it's safe to do so, we aim to bring all classes back into our classrooms (except those who live in regional Victoria, interstate or overseas).

I've currently been studying Japanese with Japanese Tutor Nunawading for around 4 months, and I've been loving it! The teachers are incredibly friendly, and so passionate about their language, and it shows. The group that I am with for class is just as passionate as I am for this language, and it makes for a really enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend!read more

Been learning with Japanese Tutor Melbourne for about 4 months. I started with zero knowledge in the language and have progressed so much since I started. The course structure is super easy to follow, the teachers are enthusiastic and make the content easy to understand. Vaughan has made the entire transition from classroom to zoom (due to covid) simple and seamless. Definitely WOULD recommend to anyone who wants to learn the language!!! 👍👍👍👍👍read more

In just under a year I’ve learnt more Japanese than I thought I ever could. I’ve always had difficulty with learning and remembering all sorts of different things, but the teachers have graciously adjusted to my learning habits, enabling me to learn more efficiently while still at a pace where I’m comfortable with learning and receiving new information. Both teachers and staff are incredibly kind and never fail to assist whenever I’m confused or stuck. All of this plus the beautiful learning spaces leave me looking forward to my classes each week and eager to learn more!read more

I've been learning through Japanese Tutor Melbourne for about 4 months now and I definitely feel the progress from when I started fresh. The classes are very practical, you definitely take away something with you after each session and not to mention how lovely the teachers are and the efficient support from Vaughan in the back end!!! The teachers are on rotation so you may not get the same teacher every time, but I don't think anyone would disagree that they collaborate very well and just as lovely in their own personality! Can't recommend them highly enough!!!read more

Excellent Japanese school in Melbourne. I must admit I anticipated a similar learning environment to what I had experienced in High school but it’s completely different. I’m really engaged and loving the Japanese classes. The curriculum is steady and doesn’t overwhelm me. I can ask the teachers questions (in English) which is helpful. There’s a really great vibe at the school during the evenings when I attend my group classes. Vaughn was very pleasant to deal with during the whole enrolment process. Overall very pleased I chose to learn at this Japanese school in Melbourne. Can’t recommend Japanese Tutor Melbourne enough!read more

The Nunawading Japanese School is fantastic and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I have gone from knowing almost no Japanese to being able to hold a conversation in just 10 months. Attending classes has drastically accelerated my learning and kept me accountable. I look forward to seeing my classmates and learning new things every week. The teachers are incredibly passionate and encouraging and the school has a strong sense of community.read more

Japanese Tutor Melbourne, having such a unique curriculum and learning style, it really does place the joy in learning something new!!!

I have always loved Japanese food, culture and history but never took the leap to learn the language due to the experience I had at school being so slow and boring. I am so glad I decided to give it a go and start learning at Japanese Tutor Melbourne. I feel like I have hit the jackpot when it comes to learning environment. The classes are very well paced and structured in a way that you continue to build on what you have already learnt. The small group size is great and I have made some really great friends that have similar interests. The teachers are absolutely lovely and extremely accommodating and approachable. I chose this place to learn myself based on the reviews even though it’s over 40minutes drive each week and I am so glad I did. If you are thinking about learning the Japanese language this is definitely the place you should go. Plus they hold a really fun Christmas party each year for the students and staff.ありがとうございますread more

Honestly the best Japanese school I have ever attended! Teachers are so fun and always so encouraging. I also really like this school because there's always new content every week so I feel like I'm constantly learning something new without feeling overwhelmed. Besides that, we always have conversations in Japanese during class, so that we are applying what we learnt in a practical way. I really look forward to coming to class every week.read more

I have always wanted to learn Japanese because of my love of this country, the people and their culture. Over time, I visited a few Japanese language schools enquiring about beginners classes, but every time I would leave the school in question, I felt a little disappointed, hurried along and quite generic. Then I found Japanese Tutor Melbourne in Nunawading, and right away I felt an ease, an energy I had been looking for. Right away you are warmly welcomed by the very enthusiastic and encouraging tutors (they are lots of fun and animated in their teachings), they encourage you, prompt you and teach Japanese at your pace with plenty of revision and homework to keep you tracking along. Its never pushy nor embarrassing if you forget a word, a meaning or whatever. I started out a complete beginner, now I understand Hiragana, I can greet people, introduce myself and where I am from and ask some questions. I look forward to my class each week; I am never disheartened. Its my greatest find in a long time in Melbourne !read more

I've been attending this Japanese school since the start of the year and it has been the most incredible journey!

Edit 2019: It’s been over two years now and I still adore everyone at Japanese Tutor Melbourne! I feel like I have come so far and know that the wonderful teachers will continue to support and encourage me as I learn more. My Friday night group class is so uplifting and fun, it’s my favourite night of the week. I’ve made amazing friends through the school and it’s a great feeling laughing about the same little mistakes as we learn and help each other in and out of class. Thanks again to all the teachers, I love how you keep everything challenging, interesting and a lot of fun. And thanks to the admin staff for running a fantastic school!! 本当にありがとうございますよ。2017 Absolutely LOVE Japanese Tutor Melbourne! The teachers are supportive, enthusiastic, encouraging and so friendly! Not only do I feel like I can learn at my own pace, but the school is so accommodating and flexible in terms of class times, and is extremely prompt in responding to any and all enquiries! The classrooms are warm and inviting and there are social events too! I can't wait to reach a level where I can attend the conversation groups. Thankyou so much everyone!read more

I highly recommend Japanese Tutor Melbourne. They cater to your learning needs and have highly engaging lessons (which are also fun).

Fast-paced, informative and engaging, my experience at Japanese Tutor Melbourne has been a pleasant one. My teacher Miyuki-sensei worked tirelessly to keep the group sessions running smoothly, answering any queries my classmates or myself had with patience and kindness, and encouraging us to further better our skills.Although I faced some difficulties in my studies along the way, I felt supported in my classes and the homework assigned each week was enough to keep my knowledge retained to carry through to the next class. I'd highly recommend taking the group classes to build up a social group that will not only encourage you to continue improving in your studies, but also act as a reflection of how far you have gotten in your tutoring. The results will surely amaze you!read more

Fantastic teaching quality! In just a few months I feel my Japanese has improved 10 fold. Each class is structured in a way that keeps the interest in the content high while also allowing time for students to go over tough concepts and ask plenty of questions. It's very rewarding to get a sentence perfect in the group classes and to receive a 100% on a test. Can't recommend this wonderful Japanese school enough!read more

After 2 failed attempts to learn Japanese I found Japanese Tutor Melbourne in Nunawading and haven't looked back since. As a beginer all of the teachers have been extremely helpful, encouraging and supportive. The fact that in this early stage of my learning, the concepts, reasons and structure are explained in english has made easier for me to make sense of the language. I cannot praise the teachers, Miyuki sensei, Kei sensei, Yasuko sensei and Yumiko sensei enough. They have taught, shown, guided, encouraged and teased out of me a language I desperately wanted to learn but never thought I could. While I have an enormous way to go I can see and hear Japanese coming from me, who would have thought? The classes are sometimes hard work, but alway fun and enjoyable. They have become the highlight of my week. The environment feels safe, the class size is small and all of my fellow students are fun to be with and are great people. While not as important as the teaching, the school is in a great location with ample car parking and less than a minutes walk from the bus and train stations. If you ever wanted to learn Japanese, this is the place to go.read more

I had previously learnt Japanese at high school a while ago, and had been recently working on my Japanese language skills through self-learning. However, my listening and conversational skills were lacking. Within a few days of contacting Japanese Tutor Melbourne Pty Ltd, I attended a level check test with one of the teachers and was graded on my Japanese level. I then attended some one-on-one catch-up classes to bring me up to speed and have now joined a group class who are at the same level.The classes are fantastic as they are small, friendly, and all aspects of Japanese (reading, writing, listening, speaking) are taught. It is a non-judgmental place where everyone is encouraged to have a go, and sufficient material (both in class and homework) are provided. I was apprehensive to attend at first as I don't live close to Nunawading, but I am glad that I decided to give them a go. I look forward to attending every week and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to study Japanese.read more

I would totally recommend Japanese Tutor Melbourne to anyone because the teachers here are so patient, and they make learning Japanese so fun and lively. The coursework is in a great pace and we learn from writing, reading and speaking Japanese. My husband and I went to Japan for a holiday and we were able to converse and read basic Japanese within 6 months of class. I enjoy every class and I have such a fun time learning Japanese here!read more

Japanese Tutor Melbourne is an amazing place to learn Japanese! I have tried to learn Japanese myself and also with another school and I didn't feel like I was growing in my Japanese. Now I can see myself learning more and more every week! And I've only been doing this for 1 month. My teacher is amazing, she is always happy and approachable. I feel lucky to have found this school and can't wait to keep learning! (class is literally the highlight of my week now!)read more

The Best Japanese class in town!!!!I was a bit hesitant to join at the start but after a few lessons I was totally wrong. The teachers were amazing and Vaughan has been very understanding and accommodating towards me with my work and often needing to have catch up lessons . He never once said no. I will keep taking the class until I am absolutely confident with my Japanese!!!Highly recommended !!!!read more
