Japanese Tutoring

Really quick:

  1. Pick the Lesson length option below that works with your schedule.
  2. Choose how many students will be joining.
  3. Select a Location.
    • SET LIST OF LOCATIONS
      I’ll be at the libraries below, by appointment. I’ve included my general availability (keep on top of the schedule and get the exact times here). There is no extra charge if you schedule a tutoring lesson at one of these locations on the day I’m there.

      Glenview （WED anytime）

      Logan Square （THUR free before 4PM or after 7PM; FRI anytime）

      Lincoln Park （THUR free before 4PM or after 7PM; FRI anytime）

      Cicero （SAT anytime）

      Oriole Park （TUES afternoon thru FRI night if scheduled at least 3 hours before the lesson and I’m available）

      I’m working on updating the dropdown—it’ll take a few days to add all the options because of how many variations there are. In the meantime, choose Oriole Park from the dropdown and state which location in the checkout notes if it’s NOT Oriole Park.

      ** Oriole Park any day/time has no extra charge. Not available for 15- and 30-minute lessons.

    • YOUR CHOICE OF LOCATION
      If you want to meet at a different public location or on a day other than what’s listed at one of the first 4 libraries above, choose Location option 3 Public spot from the dropdown and please either state where in the checkout notes or email me after you purchase lessons. Not available for 15-, 30- and 45-minute lessons.
  4. Add the number of sessions in the quantity box.

^ In-person lessons (Location option 2) not available

Description

After you purchase some lessons, you’ll receive an email asking you to fill out this booking request form so I have info on your Japanese goals and ability.

If we’re already connected through email and we’ve talked about what you want to get out of your tutoring lessons, you can continue emailing me and just send me dates and times you’re free.

Here is my Availability Calendar so you can narrow down the dates. It shows when I’m already booked. Note that my Availability Calendar reflects only confirmed events and appointments. Other students may have already booked a slot or have a standing reservation by the time you make a request so it’s possible we’ll have to try different dates or times but I’ll do my best to fit everyone in.
