Had already started learning Japanese but working with Dai has taken it to a new level and resulted in me passing the GCSE aged 53. Excellent tuition and tutor.

Dai has worked extremely hard to help us master the basics of Japanese. We have been taught in a group of four and are now having short one-to-one lessons.

I had been learning Japanese on my own for some time, and had started to feel that I`d got stuck and wasn`t making any progress. Having lessons with Dai has made a huge difference: he`s an excellent teacher and very quickly helps you to find ways around the things that are blocking your progress or causing you problems. And lessons with Dai are great fun, too: I come away from every lesson with my enthusiasm turned all the way to 11.
