Tutors

'Tutoring' system is a system that the designated tutor provides support to international students whenever their supervisor deems it necessary. In general, the system is applicable to students during their first six months in Japan. Tutors are generally graduate students selected from the graduate school to which the international student belongs.

Whether the advice/assistance given by the tutors will focus on research or daily life will depend on the individual needs of the international student. It is recommended, therefore, that students relay their concerns to their academic supervisor to receive the accurate support.
