Japanese Speaking Review & Plan: Your Personalised Speaking Report

Speak Japanese, receive professional feedback and leave with clear next steps.

Online (Google Meet) ・ Selected weekday slots ・ Beginner to advanced

It can be difficult to judge your own speaking through everyday practice alone. This package gives you a supportive space to speak, followed by a clear review of what is already working and what would be most useful to develop next.

After the session, you receive a personalised PDF report with practical suggestions for your next stage of learning.

FAQs

What will be included in my report?

1. 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?

1. 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?

1. 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?

1. Yes — ages 13–15 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?

1. 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?

1. Yes, as long as UK evening hours work for your time zone.

Can I take this more than once?

1. Yes. Some learners use it as a one-off review, while others return later to check their progress and update their speaking plan.

Can I also take regular lessons?

Yes — many learners use this session as a starting point before moving into 1-to-1 lessons or other club sessions we offer.
