Contact colleges and universities for students/faculty who attend or hold Japanese language classes. Large schools with international student populations typically include students all over the world and many college students tutor for extra money in a variety of subjects. Begin your search with the college's foreign language department or student affairs office. Even though colleges might not teach the Japanese language, it does not mean there are no students on campus who speak the language. Also, a professor from Japan, or one who speaks the language but teaches a separate discipline, might tutor or know someone who offers those services.
Visit a Japanese restaurant to ask workers if they offer tutoring in the Japanese language. Families typically run restaurants and come from Japan, meaning they know the language, dialect and cuisine. People working in these restaurants may offer tutoring services on the side or know of people who do. The tutoring experience at this level offers a genuine experience because they most likely live in households where everyone speaks Japanese. In some parts of the country where a small Japanese community exists, Japanese families may cluster together.
Place an advertisement online or in a local newspaper looking for a Japanese tutor. People constantly search online ads to find work or as a way to make extra money. Many people choose online ads because of the free price and the ability to reach a large number of people quickly. People looking for a Japanese tutor can also write the ad specifying what kind of help they need most, whether it is writing or speaking. They can also identify the level of help needed, from beginner to advanced. In addition, some websites or publications allow people to search for people looking for work.
