Seeking Japanese tutor for non-native speaker

Hi! My son started learning Japanese informally with a tutor last year for fun, but she isn't available anymore! Does anyone know of a Japanese tutor who has experience (and is interested in!) working with a young enthusiastic beginner? He is in 5th grade and our family does not speak Japanese. Thanks!!

Hi there, our daughter attends a Japanese school in Pleasanton on Sundays. She really enjoys it and is learning quite a bit. It's called Sakura Gakuen. You should check it out to see if your son would be interested in classes there. Good luck!
