FAQs
What will be included in my report?
- Your report will summarise your current speaking strengths, the areas that would be most useful to develop next, and practical suggestions for your study.
Is this just conversation practice?
- No. You will have time to speak naturally, but the conversation also allows me to observe your current speaking and prepare professional, personalised feedback.
Is it suitable for beginners?
- Yes. The session is suitable for beginner to advanced learners. I adjust my Japanese instruction to your level in real time so that beginners can take part in a supportive, manageable way.
Can younger teens join?
- Yes â ages 13â15 may be accepted by arrangement with a parent. A parent or guardian must book, pay, attend the start and end of the session, and remain within earshot throughout.
Will I get corrections?
- Yes, where helpful. I use supportive, level-appropriate feedback techniques so the conversation can keep flowing while still giving you useful guidance.
Can I book from outside the UK?
- Yes, as long as UK evening hours work for your time zone.
Can I take this more than once?

Can I also take regular lessons?
Yes â many learners use this session as a starting point before moving into 1-to-1 lessons or other club sessions we offer.
