第1話 Chapter 1

8,900 km apart. Zero km away.

Germany
8,917 km great-circle distance Berlin → Tokyo

+7 h in summer+8 h in winter

Your family moved about 8,900 km. The homework came along anyway.

Over a video call, those kilometres shrink to exactly zero. What stays is the clock — and the clock is on your side.

第2話 Chapter 2 · 時差 jisa, the time difference

Your kid's 4 pm is a tutor's 9 am.

Manga panel: a student in a Tokyo apartment after school, on a video call with a tutor, a train passing outside

Tokyo 16:00 放課後 · Germany 09:00 (summer) · 08:00 (winter)

School's out in Tokyo.

In Germany the first coffee is still warm. Nobody is tired, nobody is rushing — the best hour of a tutor's day goes to your kid.

Manga panel: a cheerful tutor in a bright German apartment at 9 am with coffee, teaching a student on a video call

Tokyo 17:30 · Germany 10:30 (summer) · 09:30 (winter)

Prime time, on both ends.

Your kid is home and fed. The tutor is wide awake and on their second coffee. Math that doesn't fight bedtime.

Tokyo 20:00 · Germany 13:00 (summer) · 12:00 (winter)

Last slot before dinner.

In Tokyo it's evening, in Germany it's just before lunch. Weekends? Saturday morning in Europe is Saturday afternoon in Tokyo.

  • Mon–Fri 16:00–20:00 JST
  • Sat & Sun 15:00–21:00 JST
Comic manga panel: a tutor in New York asleep on the desk at 3 a.m., moon outside the window

Tokyo 16:00 · New York 03:00 (EDT) · 02:00 (EST)

Meanwhile, in New York.

Let them sleep.

We don't have Tokyo locals yet. We have something better: tutors who are awake.

質問コーナー Questions corner

Questions parents actually ask.

Are the tutors actually in Tokyo?

Not yet. Right now every lesson is online, with tutors from our network in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. That is exactly why the timing works: Tokyo afternoons are European mornings. If enough families ask for in-person lessons in Tokyo or Yokohama, we will recruit local tutors — you can tell us below.

What does it cost?

Registering and posting your request is free. You only pay if it works: if lessons continue after the trial lesson (a second lesson takes place), there is a one-time placement fee of €47.20 for private persons. No lessons, or only a trial lesson, means €0 — no risk. High-level IB and GMAT tutoring carries a €10 surcharge, also only on success. Tutors keep 100% of the rate you agree with them; we take no commission. With an EasyConnect monthly pass, or if the tutor voluntarily covers the fee, there is no placement fee. No subscription. All prices & conditions →

In which language are the lessons?

In English or German — just say which in your request. Many of our tutors teach English as a subject and can teach math and sciences in English; German-speaking families can have lessons fully in German.

How do you handle the time difference?

Japan does not use daylight saving time. Germany is 7 hours behind Tokyo in summer and 8 hours behind in winter. A lesson at 16:00 in Tokyo is at 09:00 (summer) or 08:00 (winter) in Germany; 20:00 in Tokyo is 13:00 or 12:00. Weekends work well too.

Which curricula can you help with?

We match by subject and level: IB (MYP and Diploma), AP, IGCSE, A-Level and the German Abitur, plus university subjects. Mention your curriculum and exam dates in the request so we can suggest tutors who know it.

I am a tutor living in Tokyo. Can I join?

Yes, please. Create a free tutor profile and mention Tokyo or Yokohama. Local tutors are the foundation of our next volume: in-person lessons in Tokyo.

To be continued — by your kid.

One free request. Tutors who are awake when Tokyo needs them.
