About Alicia
Hi, my name is Alicia and I have always been passionate about learning new languages. I grew up in Tokyo and have lived in the U.K. for 10 years. After studying French and Spanish at UCL, I pursued a master's degree in Media, Communication and Development at LSE. I'd love to help you with anything, whether it be just wanting to start learning how to write/speak in Japanese or struggling with accents! Languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish

I have always been told by my students that they never get intimidated or scared of making mistakes when I am tutoring. Mistakes are what make us learn languages so much quicker! Everyone has their own method when it comes to language learning. I'd be flexible to your needs, focus and what you enjoy!

Perfect! Alicia is a great Japanese tutor! She has a very structured approach with a
Perfect! Alicia has a dynamic, charming informative style and is a natural skilled linguist and teacher. She has completely resurrected my love of Japanese (which is rusty to say the least) and plans engaging lessons while being very open to follow me down multiple linguistic rabbit holes. It really helps that she herself is Japanese & that her English is like that of a native speaker and on top of that - she’s learned other languages at university. Book with confidence. Enjoy getting to know
this exciting language with a truly brilliant teacher and lovely person. Arigatoo gozaimasu, Arisia Sensei!Perfect! Alicia is an excellent tutor she prepares the lessons very well and thoroughly. Through the use of google docs you can receive and excellent experience with Alicia guiding you along the way.
I would thoroughly recommend!- Catherine's son is a joy to teach. He asks me many questions both during and outside the class, which helps me immensely with understanding how he is getting on with the material presented. I am very excited to see how rapidly he will learn the language with my assistance. Thank you!See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is amazing! She is so gentle and sweet with my daughter. My daughter is learning so much and really enjoys her time with Alicia. Looking forward to many more lessons!
- Jana’s daughter is an intelligent and enthusiastic student who I always look forward to having a lesson with every week! She never fails to impress me with how quickly she understands the key grammatical concepts and I am grateful to be able to see her rapid progress in this learning journeySee the response Alicia :
Perfect! If you are looking for an excellent tutor - look no further!
Patient, friendly and all around brilliant, I highly recommend Alicia as a language teacher!
Her grasp of the language is of course exceptional (as you would expect!) but her teaching style is also fantastic, attentive and enthusiastic, and her experience with several languages truly sets Alicia apart.
I am a student with specific needs, which she met without any issues, and I have learned a lot in a very short space of time. Thank you!!Perfect! I really enjoyed the lessons with alicia because she makes everything so interesting and fun to learn! She is very friendly and creates a comfortable, fun and motivating environment to learn!
Thanks Alicia!!- Nicole, who works as a nanny for a family in London, approached me about 2 weeks ago and requested me to tutor for the daughter to cultivate her interest in Japanese even further. I have offered an intensive introductory course for a week, which consisted of four 45min lessons covering different aspects of the Japanese language and culture. It was a wonderful week teaching her! She is friendly and very engaging. Her pronunciation is impressive. I cannot wait to teach her Japanese more in depth. Thank you both :)See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is a great teacher. She takes the time to carefully construct lessons and a strategy that befits the student (me!).
Only a handful of lessons in, I'm already more excited and engaged with learning Japanese than I have been in the past 2 years of Duolingo, one-off classes, and workbooks.Perfect! Alicia is so much fun to be around whilst still being an amazing teacher, she has taught me so much in a short amount of time and I look forward to my lessons in the future!!
Perfect! Incredibly friendly, patient and structured. Alicia's classes are a joy. I'm a Japanese beginner and she has made me feel completely at ease as I start my language journey
- I immediately knew I would get on well with Sam. He is a friendly, enthusiastic and open-minded individual who had exhibited a positive outlook and attitude from the very start in the first session. He tackles in-class tasks as well as assigned homework diligently and asks relevant questions if anything remains unclear. He is a self-motivated student who practises Japanese outside class too. I cannot wait to see how rapidly his Japanese improves. Thank you, Sam!See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Have recently finished my third lesson with Alicia, has been amazing to be taught by her! Every lesson I have seen so much progression in my Japanese, she makes me feel confident and driven to push my language learning! Thank you so much Alicia!!
- Connor is a bright student who can quickly grasp new knowledge, especially grammar. The lessons with him have been very productive and fruitful. His determination and commitment to learning Japanese will take him very far in this linguistic journey and I am honoured to be able to teach him. Thank you Connor :)See the response Alicia :
Perfect! I haven't learnt a new language in so many years, that I was worried about starting a new language completely from scratch, let alone Japanese. Alicia, with her way of teaching, with real-life examples and Japanese cultural references, makes it very easy to learn and really makes me believe that this isn't an impossible task!
- Mafalda is a star student who has every quality that any teacher would want their students to have. In her first homework, she produced the neatest piece scoring 100% and I’m constantly impressed by how quickly she grasps the knowledge I share. I am honoured to be part of this journey of hers. Thank you Mafalda!See the response Alicia :
Perfect! She has really helped me understand the basics of Japanese I HIGHLY reccommend Alicia for learning Japanese and with her kind attitude encourages you to understand and learn more its only been 2 lessons and I LOVE it
- What I love about teaching Joseph is that he takes very detailed notes during class and he always asks me great questions to make sure he understands everything before we move on. It is clear that he spends lots of time outside the class to revise and consolidate the knowledge which is exactly what I want to see from my students. I am so happy to teach Joseph and I cannot wait to see how quickly he progresses in this journey. Thank you Joseph :)See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Very good variety. She starts off with the easier things and then goes on to culture. My daughter Poppy is loving The lessons with Alicia. We very much
Recommend hiring her! We 100 per-cent give her a 5/5.- It is my absolute pleasure to teach Louise's daughter Poppy. She is such a young talented student enthusiastic about learning all aspects of Japan, including the culture, history and language. I am so excited to assist her with this linguistic journey and cannot wait to see how quickly she progresses.See the response Alicia :
Perfect! I have really enjoyed my lessons with Alicia so far, she is a wonderful teacher and trys to keep the lessons fun and engaging as possible. It's my first time learning a new language and I am a complete beginner but she is extremely patient and has made me feel very comfortable! Definitely recommend her for all levels!
- Gemma is a focused and enthusiastic student and it has been such an honour to teach her. Students who have a clear goal in mind are the quickest learners, and Gemma is most definitely one of them! She understands grammar well. Her determination and commitment to learning will take her very far in this linguistic journey. I cannot wait to see how rapidly she will make progresses. Thank you Gemma!See the response Alicia :
Perfect! I had put off finding a Japanese tutor for over a year because I was worried I wouldn’t find someone who’s just as excited about languages as I am, a Japanese native and truly listens to what your needs are rather than deciding ‘they know best’ (amongst other things). Alicia is all of those things and more. I’m at a more advanced level where you already know a lot of the grammar and you’re really trying to fix the little things. I think I had an incredible teacher at school, but Alicia has gone on to show and explain so many things to me in the 2 lessons that we’ve had that I had not once heard in my formal studies - so much makes sense now!! If I’ve managed to grasp so much in 2.5hrs worth of Japanese, then I can’t fully comprehend just how quickly my level of Japanese will sky rocket...
I think if you’ve studied languages for a while you know that most native tutors don’t actually know much about their language linguistically speaking - well, Alicia certainly does! Not just on a basic level, but the really nitty gritty stuff too (which is perfect if you’re a bit of a grammar nerd like me ). She’s clearly a natural at teaching too (coming from a fellow tutor) and really takes time to answer questions, research what she doesn’t know and explains concepts in such a smooth way that doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a boring lecture. Such an easy going & fun personality to be around...I really do feel like I’ve landed on a gold mine here. I couldn’t recommend her more. I truly believe that whatever your needs are she’ll manage with flying colours! Thank you for all your help Alicia x- Mihaela is such an enthusiastic student, and it has been my honour to teach her. The level of her Japanese is already very high, especially her understanding of the grammar is impressive. I want to take this to an even higher level now and ensure she gets all the little nuances right. Her pronunciation is good too, and with more speaking practice, she will be having a conversation with me entirely Japanese! I am very excited to assist her in this linguistic journey.See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is a hugely energetic, focused and enthusiastic tutor. She is well prepared with both the video technology and with material supporting the subject. Her love of the subject immediately comes across, encouraging further study. Looking forward to my next lesson.
- Paul is a very enthusiastic student who asks a lot of relevant and interesting questions. He communicates very well throughout the lesson which helps me to understand if I am explaining everything in a clear manner. The first lesson with Paul was very productive, all thanks you Paul. I am very excited to continue to assist him in this exhilarating linguistic journey and see him progress rapidly. Thank you Paul.See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is really kind. The lessons are very relaxed and fun, and we get loads done! She is Japanese, and I am enjoying learning about the culture as well as the language.
- Sophie’s daughter is extremely enthusiastic and always comes to my lesson motivated. Teaching her has been a pleasure and it is great to see how much progress she has made already. I cannot wait to see how quickly she becomes fluent in Japanese.See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia has developed a good repoire with my teen child very quickly, she understands where they currently are in their lessons and will be helping them prepare for their GCSE Japanese exam next year.
- Lisa's child has been studying Japanese for a couple of years at school already so has a very good foundational knowledge on the the Japanese language. They were so engaging in our first lesson and so quick to learn new topics. I am so excited to support and see how quickly they progress in this linguistic journey.See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is a very kind, patient and diligent teacher. I love her individual approach to students. Before our first lesson she asked me about my goals and what have made me want to learn Japanese.
She makes sure I understand all information and gives a homework based on what You need to practice more.
What I love the most is that she lays emphasis on foundations (writing system, pronunciation, etc.) and she teaches the language from both, cultural and linguistic perspectives.
I am very excited after my first lesson and can't wait to learn more Japanese with her in future.- Dominika is an enthusiastic student who already has some knowledge of the language and the culture. It was such a pleasure for me to teach her last week. I am very excited to see her improve in the coming lessons and assist her in this linguistic journey to be a fluent Japanese speaker! Thank you Dominika!See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia has made learning Japanese very smooth for me. She has made everything extremely straightforward and can deconstruct complex Japanese to help beginners understand with ease.
- Kendall is a very engaging and enthusiastic student. Our first lesson earlier this week went great since Kendall was very concentrated and raised some questions and comments which made our lesson ten times more interesting. I am very excited to see how quickly he will improve in the coming lessons and assist him in becoming a fluent Japanese speaker! Thank you Kendall!See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Very much enjoyed the lesson sign Alicia seisen! I've been self learning Japanese for a while, but always felt like I missed some deeper explanation. Alicia is super helpful to guide me through and prepared the lesson very much based on my level. Love the vibes and stress-free learning! :)
- Isa is an enthusiastic and hardworking student who has been studying Japanese by herself for a while. It is great to see how not only knowledgeable she already is, but also fascinated she is about the language and the culture. I look forward to having more lessons with Isa and seeing how quickly she will improve. Thank you Isa :)See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is very friendly and patient, and has a well structured approach to the lessons
- James is an enthusiastic and hardworking student who has been studying Japanese by himself for a while. It is great to see how fascinated he is about not only the language but also the culture. I look forward to having more lessons with James and seeing how quickly he will improve. Thank you James :)See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Classes with Alicia are really informative! I had been doing my own study for a while, but for sure nothing that can compare to how it is taught by someone who really knows. I have so much new knowledge, plus I have been given things to work on. Everything that you're struggling with, she takes her time to evaluate what you need to improve and how to do it and reach your ultimate goals (which she bases her lessons on), an then assigns you exercises to work on it. One of the best decisions I have done to keep learning and get better at my Japanese :)
- Mar is an enthusiastic and hardworking student who has been studying Japanese by herself for a while. She always raises interesting questions and it is great to see how fascinated she is about not only the language but also Japanese culture. I look forward to having more lessons with Mar and seeing how quickly she will improve. Thank you Mar :)See the response Alicia :
Perfect! Alicia is an excellent teacher and her teaching is brilliant and very helpful. She asked for feedback and sheisvery insightful and patient with the student. Would definitely recommend her!
- So quick to understand the grammatical logic! Such an enjoyable first lesson I had with Valeria!!See the response Alicia :

Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I have come to know Alicia through our time as undergraduate languages student at UCL. This is where I learnt that no matter what she does, she always brings three essential contributions to her work: insight, determination, and enthusiasm. She is truly committed to exploring various languages and cultures, and teaching Japanese is definitely a true passion of hers. Alicia exudes goodwill and organisation when it comes to explain the bases and intricacies of the Japanese language and she has been patient enough with me only as a friend to present the basics of the Hiragana and Katakana writing systems for example. I would thoroughly recommend her as a tutor as she is well-versed in grammar, pronunciation and translation and her positive attitude will certainly rub off on you!
