It is very hard to find a tutor of Japanese A-level. Artour was enthusiastic & knowledgeable. He helped our son with study techniques generally as well as going through the syllabus. We were also grateful for the advice he gave re opportunities to study in Japan
From Amelia
Artour is an excellent tutor! He knows everything about Japanese, and has brilliant resources to share with you that aren’t readily available anymore. He’s extremely encouraging and friendly. I would definitely recommend him
Thank you, Amelia. It was a joy prepping you for your job interview. You’re very talented and special. Please keep up the good work!
From Christopher
Before Artour, I had been studying Japanese for around 2 years and have found it extremely difficult to find a good tutor. I had tried using agencies and other private tutor services and they have not provided me the required tutoring, that included unsuccessfully passing the JLPT level 5 exam. I have been with Artour for only 3 months now and already he has helped me to surpass all the agencies and private tutor services, combined.
What stands Artour out is not only his experience but also understanding my needs and tailoring a Japanese teaching programme to help me achieve my Japanese goal and dream. My speaking and listening has seen a vast improvement, to a point where i can now speak some meaningful phrases and understand some Japanese spoken back to me. My writing and reading is now at a level where i can now write letters and questionnaires in Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.
If your goal is to seriously study Japanese to a fluent level, I cannot recommend Artour high enough. As long as you have the desire and motiviation, Artour would be an excellent choice to help you achieve your Japanese goals and dreams!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Christopher. It’s been a joy teaching you. I’m looking forward to helping you achieve even more.
From Dominique
Artour has been a wonderful tutor for my son for just under a year. My son's confidence has grown in all his language skills, but in particular, reading and writing Japanese, giving my son a good foundation from which to begin developing his conversation skills. Although the primary focus of the lessons is language, Artour will often offer cultural and historic context which enriches the learning experience. He can also, if of interest to the student, provide information on potential progression routes, e.g… opportunities to study in Japan. He is a supportive, extremely knowledgeable tutor who both my son and I would recommend.
Thank you for the kind words, Dominique. It has been a pleasure teaching Alexander and I look forward to helping him learning more Japanese and more about Japan further.
From Eva
Artour is a truly fabulous tutor who tailors his teaching to my needs and my abilities. He is super committed and gives me extremely important input. In addition, he is super friendly, always on time and tries to get the best out of our time. thank you Artour for your great support
Thank you so much for the kind words.
From Alistair
A really good tutor. Exceptionally knowledgeable in a diverse range of subjects.
If learning languages with Artour you have a tutor who is fluent in multiple different languages, ranging from English, Russian, Thai, Japanese, Dutch, French and a few more. It really helps to have someone very familiar with how different languages are structured to help take apart and explain your target language in simple to understand terms.
Rather than have a set way of working Artour will adapt his tuition to best fit your style of learning and isn't afraid to change things up when it's needed. He's also got a great sense of humour so lesson are genuinely entertaining.
A very good tutor all round.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Alistair. I am very glad you find our tutorials useful and inspirational. I am really looking forward to your Japanese breakthroughs, successes and accomplishments.
From Brendan
Artour is one of the most professional and knowledgeable tutors I know. His lessons are well structured and organised. His knowledge on the Japanese language and culture is extensive. If you need a tutor for Japanese learning, I would highly recommend Artour.
Dear Brendan,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. It is an honour and pleasure to have you as my student. I am looking forward to helping you reach all your goals.
Kind regards,
Artour
From Chris
I've been working with Artour for about six weeks now and the lessons have been helpful, informative, and built my confidence in using the Japanese language significantly. He has demonstrated a profound knowledge not only in grammar but also Japanese society and culture in general. Highly recommended!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Chris. It’s a joy to have you as a student. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
From Aran
Artour is an incredibly knowledgeable teacher who understands the nuances in the Japanese language from every aspect, whether it be a social or business setting. He knows the cultural reasons behind small differences in grammar that make learning Japanese with him a much more rich experience than it otherwise would be. If you want to learn not only the language but important aspects of the culture too, then you have come to the right place.
I believe he goes a step above to offer the best resources for his students (outside the scope of what you would normally be shown by a tutor) and encourages me to be as curious as I can in my learning. Artour is highly methodical and deliberate in his approach to teaching Japanese and will have a well thought out plan for you depending on your desired goals.
He is extremely good at breaking things down and explaining them in a way that works for me. I have no doubt that anyone learning Japanese with Artour will achieve their Japanese language goals. On top of this, lessons are always so fun; he always brings great energy and enthusiasm every time! It really has been such an enjoyable experience thus far and I cannot wait to see my progress in Japanese in the future!
Thank you so much Aran, it is my pleasure to have you as my student. I’m looking forward to seeing you achieve your ambitious goals with my humble input.
From Sholto
I've only had two sessions with Artour so far, but from what I've seen he is enormously knowledgeable about the Japanese language and equally as enthusiastic. Artour has a great understanding of the structure needed to learn a language, which is particularly important for one as foreign as Japanese. I'm very much looking forward to seeing the progress that I make with Artour!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Sholto. I am looking forward to guiding you all the way to JLPT N1! I can see you've got what it takes.
From DONNA
Artour has been tutoring my child online for Japanese lessons and has helped her make much progress in her knowledge within the language. He is well organised and gives a plentiful amount of homework to her so she can study on her own. He is a wonderful tutor and a nice person , you will make good progress with Artour on your journey to learning a new language.
Thank you Donna, for your kind words. It is my pleasure to teach René, she is very talented and determined. I am sure a bright future lies in front of her, I would be delighted to be part of her success story.
From Daniel
I have been impressed with Artour's enthusiasm to teach and his in-depth knowledge of languages. He has a deep understanding of the learning process and is able to cater to each student's needs.
I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words, Daniel. It’s a pleasure to teach you. I will do my best to help you achieve your goals.
From Isobel
Artour is an amazing tutor! 100% recommend. He worked so easily with my difficultly understanding certain grammar points, made up jokes so I'd remember things better which helped me pass my university exam! He was very clear, professional, kind and has an extensive knowledge on not just Japanese grammar but the reasons behind them which helped me understand things so much better. Thank you so much for your help! I will definitely be asking for your help again :)
Thank you very much, Isobel. I am very happy I could help you. Please let me know should you need any more help.
From Freddie
A friend and I have been having a dual Japanese session with Artour every week for about 9 months. He was attentive with regards to what we wanted to achieve through the lessons from the beginning, and he has guided us towards a grounding in the language that I am very happy with. He ensures that we study at a pace that we're comfortable with, and I have appreciated his timetable flexibility in accommodating my unpredictable schedule.
His knowledge of Japan has been really useful in helping me determine my desire to study there, and I have really valued his advice in piecing together an application to do so via the Japanese embassy. Artour has never once lacked enthusiasm or heart for the subject, which I find makes a huge difference in my enjoyment of his lessons. I would highly recommend Artour and his sense of humour to anyone else looking to study Japanese.
Thank you Freddie. It is my pleasure teaching yourself and George. Please do feel free to let me know should there be anything that can be improved. I value your feedback greatly.
From Magdalena
Artour is an excellent teacher, who not only has a deep knowledge but also knows how to present it in a understandable, fun way. He impressed me with his professionalism in arranging the first lesson with my 12 years old daughter (sending materials well in advance, arranging lessons via online calendar, explaining details of the contract, making sure that he understands my daughter’s expectations, making sure that the content of the lesson is appropriate for my daughter’s abilities) and, after the first lesson, my daughter said that he was awesome! Given that I am a single parent in full time employment, which limits mine and my daughter’s availability for lessons, Artour has been extremely helpful, accommodating and flexible. He also seem to have a natural ability to curb my scatterbrain daughter’s forgetfulness. I would highly recommend Artour as a Japanese teacher. After a few months of lessons I can say with confidence that his knowledge and abilities as a teacher are second to none!
Thank you very much, Magda. It’s a pleasure teaching Joanna. I really like her mind: lively, imaginative, and inquisitive. I believe that with her talents she can go places. I will do everything I can to help her achieve her goals and realise her potential - including coaching her time-management and prioritising skills! :-)
From Ayumi
Thank you, Ayumi!
From Helen
Very conscientious and extremely thorough. Great teacher would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much Helen. It was a joy working with you and teaching Deji.
From Atiti
He is painstaking to thoroughly understand where the individual learners are, then proceeding with a collaborative teaching approach he designs a pathway of learning suited to the specific needs of each learner. Artour urrently tutors three of my children and we are more than delighted with his services.
From Callum
Artour has been very accommodating to our requirements, and is able to provide us with the work needed. I feel confident that my son will do very well with him.
