Course Overview - Learn Japanese in Japan

The ideal way to make rapid progress in Japanese, relaxing in the home of a Japanese tutor and their family.

Your Japanese in a teacher’s home course is designed for you, at your level, and delivered to your needs. You will be impressed at just how quickly your confidence grows as your Japanese improves: one-to-one home tuition with homestay in your teacher’s house is the most effective way to develop language skills in a short period of time.

You can choose to have between 10 and 30 lessons per week with your own private homestay teacher (each lesson lasts 60 minutes). Cultural excursions with the teacher and their family are also included on all of our programmes.

Who is it for?

For Japanese language learners who have the basics and want to make progress, as well as more advanced students who want to work on their Japanese for a specific professional or academic purpose.

Before your course starts, we will assess your grammar, listening comprehension and oral fluency and design a course according to your precise objectives. Out of lessons, you can practise what you have learnt with your teacher's, their family and friends, and the local community. Our programmes are ideal for motivated learners who want to get the most out of being genuinely immersed 24/7 in a Japanese speaking environment.

Berta es una gran persona i una fantàstica professora, amb la seva ajuda el meu anglès a millorat força. A casa seva amb ella i el seu company Charlie mi he trobat com si estigués a casa d'uns amics de fa temps. Han estat molt amables i tenen una casa molt maca i ben condicionada. Una experiència de 10.

Juergen Huss

For every question (location, lessons, hospitality, accommodation and meals) five stars for my host and for InTuition. The English lessons were excellent structured. As a German nativespeaker I finished with a great boost in my English skills. The support of InTuition in the background was excellent and helpful. If it will happen I will choose InTuition again. And Oxfordshire was a really nice place to stay.

Response from the owner:Thank you Juergen, we are delighted that you had a great experience with our teacher, Maureen. Thanks again for choosing InTuition!

Esperienza molto positiva a Saint Paul's Bay (Malta). Le lezioni erano ben strutturate con materiale molto interessante e stimolante che si adattava perfettamente ai miei interessi e alle mie curiosità. Insegnante molto colta, premurosa e sempre paziente. Non potevo sperare di meglio!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your course with our teacher Maria in Malta.

I had the pleasure of taking English lessons with Ms. Rachel Stabb, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is patient, professional, and makes every lesson engaging and effective. Thanks to her clear explanations and tailored approach, my confidence and fluency have improved significantly. An excellent teacher who truly cares about her students’ progress and makes learning fun.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Catina. We are delighted to hear you had such a good homestay immersion course in London. Thank you for choosing InTuition!

2 Wochen Frankreich. Leben bei der Lehrerin. 6 Stunden Unterricht am Tag. Gutes Essen, schöne Ausflüge.
Es hat mir richtig viel gebracht.

Das war eine Reise, die ich nie mehr vergessen werde

InTuition hat mir erneut einen Homestay vermittelt, der in jeder Weise hervorragend war. Ich kann InTuition nur empfehlen.

Response from the owner:Thank you Heike, we are delighted that you enjoyed another course with us.

Lut Heeb

I had an amazing language stay with my host teacher in southern England. From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed and felt like part of the family. My teacher went above and beyond what I had expected — not only did I improve my English, but I also experienced so much more. We went on beautiful hikes, visited the cinema, enjoyed afternoon tea with her friends, and went on several lovely excursions together. I was accommodated in a private annex that had everything I needed, which made the stay even more comfortable. It was the perfect mix of learning and cultural immersion. I’m truly grateful for this unforgettable experience!

Response from the owner:Hello Lut, thank you very much for your feedback. We're delighted that you had such a fantastic time with our teacher, Eileen. Thanks again for choosing InTuition!

crip moorey

Our 1st grade middle school daughter spent two weeks with a host family on an intensive, full immersion language program.
The host family was wonderful, the location was great, the impact on her English ability and, more importantly, her confidence in using the language in real situations was boosted tremendously.
Highly recommended.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much. We are delighted that your daughter enjoyed her homestay immersion course with our teacher, Charlotte, in Bournemouth.

Pascal Convers

Very good training, very good teacher

Response from the owner:Thank you Pascal, we are delighted that you enjoyed your InTuition course.

Julien Seroussi

We had a nice stay in Southampton. The teachers are very good and intuition paid close attention to my needs.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Julien - it is great to hear that you had such a good time with our teacher David in Southampton.

Marcel Chantôme

The formula at the teacher’s house which proposed by Intuitive language for me who is retired is the best formula. Why ? Share the life with the teacher but have free time too allowed me to progress in speaking english. That was my goal. I had lucky to find with Maria an exceptionnal teacher and a guide for discover the Maltese history with visits in different places and so enrich my vocabulary. I thank very much Maria for her time, her cooking and her commented visits no forget her kindness.

Response from the owner:Thank you Marcel - we are delighted that you enjoyed such a pleasant experience with Maria (and her excellent cooking!)

Noelia Prieto

Maria is a truly wonderful person. Educated, intelligent, calm, kind...

She works hard to help you achieve your goals, with enjoyable and empowering classes, with her assertive character and patience.

She is really hospitable, a great host, cooks very well and makes you feel loved and welcomed.

Our visits to the island with her were a real pleasure.

Response from the owner:We're delighted that you had such a great time with our tutor Maria, in Malta. Thank you for choosing InTuition!

Christine Bajard

InTuition has given both incredibly good and friendly service in the process of finding a tutor, and very satisfying tailored teaching. I hit the jackpot!

Response from the owner:Thank you Christine - though we would say that your success is also down to your hard work and dedication! Thank you once again for choosing InTuition.
