• Does your child struggle or feel anxious about math?
• Does your child have learning or developmental needs that make it hard to keep up in class?

Features of
International Tutor Osaka

Fostering the Ability to Think

Instead of simply teaching how to solve problems, our goal is to help students develop their own thinking skills.

When a student gets stuck, I ask guiding questions step by step so that the student can find the right answer on their own.

Flexible and Personalized Approach

We respond flexibly to any request, such as:

• “I don’t have homework today, so could we focus on word problems?”
• “I’m nervous about the test—can we review this unit again?”
• “I have an essay assignment but don’t know where to start—could you help me plan it from the beginning?”
• “My school doesn’t use textbooks, and I haven’t practiced factorization enough. Could you make me some worksheets?”

Whatever the request, we always respond with a ‘Let’s try it!’ attitude.

Supporting Students Overseas

International Tutor Osaka has supported many students in abroad and Japan—from the United States, India, Singapore, Taiwan, Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya.
In recent years, the number of students from overseas and the Kanto area has been rapidly increasing!

We welcome students in the U.S., Canada, and other overseas locations with large time differences from Japan.
Our morning hours in Japan are ideal for after-school lessons abroad.
We help students keep up with their schoolwork.
