At Highgate School, we offer English and Contemporary Japanese classes for students. These Japanese classes have been established to provide you with natural Japanese expression in both speaking and writing. We offer a choice of 3 curriculums to best suit your needs and goals.

In our Japanese classes, native Japanese instructors teach natural Japanese,and are able to give detailed explanations in English to foster your understanding of Japanese expressions and their meaning and usage.

Please download Skype or Web RTC (Whereby)for the lesson, and make sure your computer can use the system. To use Whereby with your smartphone or iPad, you need to download the app on your device. Also, please check the time difference between Japan and your country when you arrange the lesson schedule.

School coordinator and head instructor

Yoshitaka Iwamoto

Hello everyone! I am an arts major born and raised in Tokushima, Japan. I spent three years in the UK at Central Saint Martins art college in London and completed a 5 month residency at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, South Korea. I’ve been teaching English and Japanese for 5 years for both individual and group classes. I recently passed the Japanese Eiken Test at Grade 1(equivalent to TOEIC 900 or C2 level in the CEFR).

My teaching experience has taught me how to identify students weaker linguistic areas and customize my lessons to their individual needs. I’m confident teaching Japanese in both my native language and in English. I am helpful and approachable and look forward to speaking with you!
