More Than Japanese Lessons
Support for Japanese, Daily Life, and Work in Japan

Our goal is not only to teach grammar and vocabulary, but also to help you communicate with confidence and feel more comfortable living, working, or studying in Japan.

Attempted to charge me for a tutor I had not agreed to use, and after I found one I liked and paid for several months in advance for, I received multiple emails, text messages and direct phone calls informing me to pay twice over to continue lessons after the first month. I would not be able to say they were “professional.”
I did find a fantastic tutor, so I won’t give this business the lowest stars, but I would urge anyone considering using this matching service to keep ALL of your receipts and messages for future reference.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with HH JapaNeeds! The communication is always excellent, and their ability to match the perfect tutor to our children’s needs is unmatched.
We have been lucky enough to work with two of their tutors now. Our past teacher, Nao Sensei, was fantastic, and our new tutor, Taku Sensei, is equally incredible. He is exceptionally warm, patient, and engaging. During our recent trial lesson, Taku Sensei used brilliant, creative methods like personalized name-writing and picture books to keep Isabel and Lucas completely immersed. They had a ton of fun and lost track of time!
Thanks to this wonderful agency and the high quality of teachers like Nao Sensei and Taku Sensei, our kids are incredibly motivated to learn Japanese. We highly recommend HH JapaNeeds to any family!

During my last extended stay in Japan, I contacted HH JapaNeeds to find teachers or volunteers with whom I could practice my Japanese. I must say I was impressed by the seriousness and quality of this language school. I answered quite a number of questions and even had a phone interview to assess my level.
The two people I met several times to practice Japanese with were highly motivated volunteers. It gave me the opportunity to discuss many different topics, learn a great deal about life in Japan, and at the same time improve my Japanese skills.
The preparation, follow-up, and administrative organization were always excellent, and a genuine effort is made to match students with the most suitable teachers or volunteers.
Many thanks !

I was very happy with my experience with HH JapaNeeds Tutoring! I reached out to the school online and received a very prompt response. I requested a tutor nearby the Tokyo suburb where I would be living and in less than a week HH JapaNeeds connected me with a tutor who was the same age and gender as me and lived less than 10 minutes away. The tutor was kind, organized and helpful. The monthly tutoring rate is also extremely affordable. I would highly recommend HH JapaNeeds to anyone looking for a quality tutor! Thanks HH JapaNeeds!

I was looking for a company that was able to be flexible and work with my specific requests for how I’d like to learn and I found it! HH JapaNeeds didn’t hesitate to find a fantastic teacher who understood that I didn’t want to do textbook lessons. I met her online to discuss my level and learning needs and then we met up in person and had conversation lessons in various locations in Osaka. I wanted to buy some green tea to take back home and my sensei took me to an excellent department store where I was able to meet the farmer who grew the tea! It was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for.

He is a very helpful coordinator and always constantly checking if the requirement fit my needs.
He got me a tutor which is able to accommodate my schedule. The tutor is very patient when i tried to used poor Japanese to communicate with her. She tried to understand and correct my Japanese. It been a few months taking the classes and I am happy. The tutor always makes an effort to plan a lesson plan before the class which I am really grateful for it.
I would highly recommend them to embarks a language endeavours together!
I would love to continue learning Japanese classes with them.
Thank you Honda san and teams!

Comprehensive Curriculum:
The Japanese e-Learning program boasts a comprehensive curriculum that covers all aspects of the Japanese language. From basic vocabulary and grammar to reading, writing, and conversation practice, the course content is well-structured and thoughtfully organized. Each lesson builds upon the previous one, gradually increasing the complexity and difficulty level. The inclusion of interactive exercises, quizzes, and assessments helped me consolidate my knowledge and track my progress effectively.
Engaging Multimedia Resources:
What truly sets Japanese e-Learning apart is its extensive use of engaging multimedia resources. The incorporation of audio clips, videos, and interactive exercises made the learning process immersive and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the authentic Japanese materials, such as dialogues, songs, and cultural snippets, which provided a glimpse into real-life situations and enhanced my understanding of the language in context.
Supportive Community:
Another aspect that I found invaluable was the supportive community within the Japanese e-Learning platform. The inclusion of discussion forums, chat groups, and live sessions allowed me to connect with fellow learners and native speakers. This not only provided an opportunity to practice my speaking and writing skills but also fostered a sense of belonging and motivation. The instructors and moderators were responsive and helpful, offering guidance and feedback whenever needed.

Japanese e-Learning recognizes the importance of flexibility and accessibility in today’s fast-paced world. The platform is accessible across various devices, including smartphones and tablets, enabling me to learn on the go.

Whether you have a few minutes or several hours to spare, you can easily dive into the lessons and make progress at your own pace.

I have good tutors who tolerate my mistakes while talking with them in Japanese. Of course, they also correct my mistakes. My fluency may not have immediately improved but through the lessons I had,my confidence increased and I felt comfortable using Japanese.
Helping Hand has definitely helped me a lot.

HH JapaNeeds is a really big help to those who wanted to learn Nihongo. All lessons are easy to understand and you will learn a lot. I am only having the free e-learning lessons because I don’t have quite the time for online tutoring but I think availing the online class would benefit the learner more. Each lesson kept me motivated to study Japanese. ありがとうございました！

I am from Malaysia and I have been taking the Japanese lessons at HH JapaNeeds since 8 months ago, in the beginning I know nothing much about Japanese language but now I can speak and write like a Japanese! This won’t happen without the dedication and commitment shown by my tutor, Tsatsurou-san , he is such a nice tutor and I appreciate all the lessons he has been giving to me that improves my Japanese language so much!
Also, the headmaster of HH JapaNeeds, Naoteru-san, he is very helpful in arranging the right tutor for me.
I strongly recommend those who want to learn Japanese language to try out HH JapaNeeds service, you won’t be regret here!

I was very quickly contacted for a short personal interview. After assessing my Japanese skills, a tutor near me was quickly found. She was experienced, laid back, very instructive, prepared,… I’ve been working with her for half a year now and am very happy with our performance

Hhjapaneeds is a very good platform to meet new people and a good way to learn new language. I enjoyed it very much. I am not only learning how to converse but learning the culture is a plus. I highly recommend it to others to try this, to experience also speaking to native japanese and become friends with them later on.

Face-to-Face Japanese Lessons in Japan
More Than Language: A Local Connection in Japan
For learners living in Japan, face-to-face Japanese lessons can offer more than study time. They can also be an opportunity to learn how Japanese is actually used in the local community where you live.
Through natural conversation with your tutor, you can explore local manners, community events, useful places, seasonal customs, daily rules, and practical expressions that are not always found in textbooks.
Your tutor is not a professional life advisor. However, as a local Japanese conversation partner, they can help you better understand the language, customs, and communication styles you encounter in everyday life.

and communicate with greater confidence in your daily interactions.
