Are you looking for a private VCE tutor who can help you achieve academic success? I'm here to help! My name is Ken, and I'm a native Japanese speaker who has a deep understanding of the VCE curriculum. I live in Glen Waverley and offer personalised tutoring to students who need extra help. I primarily tutor Japanese Second Language VCE for unit ½ and ¾, but I can tutor and give advice for math (Method, Further, Specialist) and science (Biology, Chemistry), as I'm studying Engineering and Science at Monash University.

My lesson is heavily focused on reviewing writing, practicing reading, and training for listening.

I not only welcome questions regarding Japanese grammar and content, but believe it is a necessity for learning. However, I expect kanji, basic grammar, and content to be covered by the school, and this tuition should be a complement to that.

Please complete this Google form and send one or two Japanese writings you have done. I will send the feedback for the writing for free, and we could discuss possible arrangements for the lesson.

私の授業は作文、リーディング、リスニングの練習を中心に進めます。
