Haruto Tsuchiya
Grade 10, English
English Writing – Full Marks
“Before LightHouse, I struggled with English, especially writing. Learning from IB graduates gave me real, practical advice that I couldn’t get at school. My English writing has improved a lot, and I even scored full marks on a school essay test. LightHouse truly goes beyond expectations and supports students with genuine care.”
M.O.
Grade 10, IGCSE Eng
English 5 → 7
“I wanted to improve my Japanese and English writing. My tutor gave clear, practical advice and taught patiently, which raised my English grade from 5 to 7. LightHouse teaches each subject carefully and is a great choice for anyone who wants to improve steadily.”
Souta Abe
Grade 12, IB
IB 28 → 35
“I used to dislike studying and my grades were poor. Thanks to LightHouse’s close support, I not only improved academically but also gained confidence. My IB total score improved from 28 in DP1 to 35 in the final. The lessons also helped with my university applications and mental support during IB. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with IB or applications.”
Kaishi Abe
Grade 11, IB Math
IB Math 4 → 7
“Before LightHouse, I didn’t even know how to study and felt lost. My tutor motivated me, raised my grades, and helped me overcome my fear of studying. My math grade went from 4 to 7 on the IB scale, and I feel like my whole perspective on the future has expanded. If you want to make studying a turning point in your life, LightHouse is the right place.”
M.F.
Grade 10, IGCSE Econ
Economics D → B in 6 Months
“I couldn’t keep up with school classes and felt left behind. At LightHouse, I could review difficult content in Japanese and understand clearly. My economics grade improved from a D to a B within six months. More than grades, I felt supported every step of the way. Having a tutor who truly cares makes all the difference.”
Kokomi Abe
Grade 9, pre-IB
Better essay writing & Science grade
My tutor makes lessons enjoyable, explains until I fully understand, and uses fun examples that stick. Before LightHouse, I struggled with essay writing and basic study skills, but now I feel more confident in every subject and my science test scores improved. My tutor also listens to my school concerns and gives advice, which I truly appreciate.

Grade 6, English
Vocabulary & Presentation Skills
Before LightHouse, I was stuck at the same level and couldn’t step up. With support, my vocabulary improved, and I learned how to make presentation slides for the first time. In class, when something came up that I had just studied at LightHouse, I felt confident. I’ll be taking the TOEFL soon, and I feel more prepared. LightHouse makes studying motivating!

G12, IB
IB worries → peace of mind
We couldn’t find tutors familiar with IB, and this caused us constant worry. LightHouse began with a careful consultation and matched our child with the right teacher. In class, questions are clearly answered, which reduced their anxiety. At home, our management burden went from constant concern to absolutely zero—we can fully rely on LightHouse with peace of mind

G10, School Support
English Writing – Full Marks
At previous schools, progress was limited, but LightHouse gave clear reasons for learning and helped shape future goals. My child’s test ranking improved from the 70s to 35th out of about 155 students, and their English score rose from 71.2 to 82.2. This tangible progress has boosted their confidence. With assignments managed directly between teacher and student, our family’s burden has greatly reduced

G11, IB
Procrastination → Proactive Learning
I used to worry because my child started homework late every night, which disrupted their sleep schedule. Now, they create their own study plans and follow them without being told. Remarkably, they went from almost never reading to carrying books everywhere with genuine enjoyment. At home, I no longer need to constantly remind them—LightHouse has truly helped my child become independent.

G12, School Support
Dropout risk → achieving As
My child once had several E grades alongside mostly B and C, and was at risk of dropping out. Through LightHouse, they improved to achieving A. By planning studies together with the tutor, they gradually learned to study more systematically. As a parent, I feel reassured thanks to the regular progress reports, and I can now watch over my child with peace of mind
