Hello

My daughter is a Japanese language student in Yokohama. She is in need of some help in her Japanese language studies.

Looking for a Female locally in Yokohama or Zoom remote to help explain to her things that may be struggling with.

Your background and degree status Not important. But a good understating of English and Japanese is important
so she can ask questions about Japaneses language.

Willing to pay for this service for my daughter at a reasonable rate

Thank you

Mark

Unfortunately we don't have a critical mass of participants here so you're not likely to find somebody who provides this service here. I'd probably try to find somebody on a Facebook group. However if she wants to ask language questions on the forum here, we can answer her questions.

Hi Mark and welcome to the forum

Try Tokyoacademics.com, located in Sangenjaya, Tokyo. I am sure they can recommend someone who can help you via Zoom.

Mark,

I also know a lady in Tokyo who tutors Japanese children. She used to be the secretary at my English school and she speaks English well. I will contact her and see what she says.

Thank you, I took a look at there website, looks like mostly a school environment and probably expensive. She is in school currently in Yokohama, I think we are looking for a one on one person who speaks very good English that can help her over some difficulties she is having with Japanese. Does not need to be a teacher but someone who can help.

If the school has some type of bulletin board system , might be worth trying that if she hasn't already tried. Also , you would thing the school would have some type of counselor who might know of a tutor who would work. It must be frustrating to be a long distance dad , trying to help. I sure hope she can find help.

Mark,

I agree that Tokyo Academics is a classroom environment and isn't what you are looking for. But they probably know someone who is willing to do an "arubaito" on the side and help you out.

I am still waiting for my school's ex-secretary to get back to me.

Have her ask questions here. We can clear up virtually anything related to grammar.

Mark,

I was able to contact the lady who used to be the secretary at my school and I am telling her about your daughter. But a couple of questions come to mind.

Is your daughter able to have short chats in Japanese?

Can she read and write hiragana and katakana?

Mark, I sent you a PM.
