Attended the intensive course for 4 months and totally loved it! Love the classmates as all are either working adults or housewives. Content of the class is relevant to encounter daily life in Tokyo and there are plenty of outside-class events..

Excellent place to learn Japanese, I managed to pass my JLPT level 4 within half a year and JLPT 3 a year later. I signed up to practice Japanese, especially grammar and writing longer sentence. Great teachers!

Types of JLPT Courses We Offer

Pick the course that’s right for you based on your objectives, availability and time commitment.

3-Month JLPT Course

Year-Round JLPT Course

For those who want long-term support and focus on test section.

Establish a solid foundation in Japanese with our year-long preparation course on JLPT. Instead of an all-around prep course, you can choose to focus between grammar and reading.

We also offer a JLPT preparation course entirely online, following the same effective, structured lessons as our in-person school — but with more flexibility. Prepare for the JLPT from your home country or virtually from Japan, with steady, long-term progress in a flexible, year-round program.
