JAPANESE TEACHING METHOD

"TEACHERS SPEAK IN ENGLISH/JAPANESE"

Beginner classes are taught in Japanese with English. This way you can fully understand what's being taught in class. As students learn more Japanese, we use less English in class. Intermediate and above classes are conducted fully in Japanese.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN CLASS

Expect a well structured, planned Japanese course. Apart from learning how to read and write Japanese, you'll also be involved in many speaking activities. Our Japanese classes are lots of fun! The content is interactive and well structured. It also includes regular homework which reinforces what's taught in class.

Our Japanese teachers are trained how to properly teach and interact with students in a small group class. They make learning Japanese simple and fun. We make sure our students keep learning at the same speed.

REVIEWS

I couldn't speak and read Japanese a year ago, since I studied at Nunawading Japanese school, I am confident to speak to the Local Japanese and I can understand simple conversation. The teachers are so nice and friendly, they are very patient to explain whatever I ask. During special occasion like Xmas, they always host an event, so we can know more about Japanese culture. I also meet some friends in the class, they all like Japan and Japanese language, we have so much common in interests! I really enjoy studying here! The best Japanese school and best teachers are here!

Accommodating study hours with flexible arrangements around last minute life commitments. Fabulous class environment, small numbers to provide focus to each individual that support their level of progression. Nurturing warm and friendly teachers who articulate means to deliver teachings which enhance the student's learning patterns. My experience has been both entertaining as well as productive. Urge any keen and enthusiastic students who wish to make friends and learn Japanese enjoyably to enrol.

Japanese Tutor Melbourne is a wonderful place to learn Japanese. I was struggling with self study and then a friend recommended them to me and I have had such an amazing time since and I have learnt so much already. After seeing the progress of other students I am feeling really confident about spending the next few years learning Japanese at this school before I move to Japan. I am someone who loves to read reviews about somewhere before I invest my time/money and I found only positive comments about this school, if you wish to learn Japanese this is the place to go. Thank you Japanese Tutor Melbourne!

After traveling to Japan with the only a basic concept of the Japanese language my wife and I thought it would be good to learn some Japanese for our future trips. I did a little bit of research into Japanese tutors and found Japanese Tutor Melbourne. We have been students now for over a year and half ago and we have enjoyed every moment. The tutors are great and very patient with us. We would recommend this school to anyone who was contemplating learning Japanese.

When I was searching for a Japanese tutor last year, I was looking for a professional-yet-informal approach to learning the language, with native teachers! All the teachers are extremely kind, patient and most importantly able to adjust lesson plans to suit your learning requirements. I'm extremely grateful for the teaching they have provided in the past year and am looking forward to sitting (and hopefully passing) the JLPT N4 this year! I can't recommend Japanese Tutor Melbourne enough.

Amazing classes and lots of fun. They move at a good pace too that’s not too intense but also challenges you. Also very flexible with catch up lessons and if you want to choose a particular time to do the class. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to learn Japanese. All native speaking teachers.

Fantastic teachers and classes. The teachers are highly skilled and carefully identify weak areas and help you focus on them, even in group classes. Very beneficial even for students with years of prior knowledge gained through self-study. This place is an excellent next step to take, I highly recommend it.

I look forward to my class at Japanese Tutor Melbourne each week. The teachers are enthusiastic, patient and make the classes so fun! The smaller class sizes ensure that everyone has plenty of time to practice our speaking, as well as reading and writing (including Kanji!). The Nunawading school is in a great location........

My partner and I have been attending classes at Japanese Tutor Melbourne Pty Ltd since November 2016 and have learnt so much! It's so cool when you realise you can understand something on a Japanese website! We are going to Japan later this year and I know we will be able to talk to local people with no problem.

I can’t speak highly enough about Japanese Tutor Melbourne Pty Ltd. I am just amazed by how much I have learned in just a few weeks.

My partner and I decided we'd take some refresher lessons in Japanese in our lead up to our trip to Japan in March as we hadn't done any work on our language skills since high school. Japanese Tutor Melbourne Pty Ltd was close to us and has turned out to be the best possible place we could have found to help us get back into the swing of Japanese.......

In less than three months I've gone from complete beginner to being able participate in basic conversation, as well as being able to read and write in hiragana, katakana, and in a few weeks' time I'll have completed my grade one kanji! I'm sure this sort of progress would have been impossible on my own.......

OUR TEACHING STYLE

At our school we believe our teachers need to work together rather than on their own. We all manage the progress of each individual student.

Learning Japanese at our school is fun, interactive and our courses are very well organised and planned. From the first class you will experience this.

Join us in 2020 and learn Japanese in Melbourne at the Nunawading Japanese school!

B1 LEVEL PROFICIENCY VIDEO

New students often ask us "How much Japanese will I be able to speak?" This B1 beginner class video demonstrates how much our students converse within a short amount of time.

During the beginner stages our teachers use English and Japanese to teach our content. This ensures students fully understand what they are learning.

B4 LEVEL PROFICIENCY VIDEO

Jade came to us as a complete beginner approx 2.5 years ago. Currently she is studying our B4 level course. She has attended group classes and routinely applied herself to study each week.

Jade is the perfect example of what is achievable when studying Japanese at our school with our teachers.

SCHOOL CULTURE EVENTS

Each year we organise different cultural events for our students. We provide an much exposure as possible to the Japanese culture while learning Japanese in Melbourne.

Our most recent 2019 school event featured the well known Wadaiko Rindo, Okinawan music group Ichimadin and the very energetic dance group Zen Yosakoi.

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.

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 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.

Thanks again to all the teachers, I love how you keep everything challenging, interesting and a lot of 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
