We recommend private Japanese lessons for...
• Students who have specialized needs to learn Japanese. This includes students who want to communicate professionally in the work environment, learn Japanese business etiquette, prepare EJU or start job hunting.
• Students who prefer to study alone with a Japanese teacher without any distractions.
• Students who want to learn things they are interested in and things they can apply to their careers.
• Students who want to address their concerns privately. Some students might feel unconfident if they study in a small group. Our private lessons put this worry to the back of their mind.
• Students who feel in-person one-on-one class is the most effective way to learn Japanese. Our Japanese schools in Yokohama and Tokyo are located in the center points of the city for easy access.

Can I book private Japanese lessons for my children?
Yes, you can! This service is handled on a per-request basis and depends on the age of the child, as well as the availability of the teacher who teaches.
If you would like to have private Japanese language lessons for your children, we would first like to book a consultation session to learn more about your needs.
You can do this by sending us an inquiry.
Can I study custom materials for my lesson? Can I bring material?
If you would like to study custom lesson materials that you provide during your private Japanese lesson - you can do so, but this requires a special private lesson.
For example:
You would like to go over a presentation or speech you will give at work.
You want to study vocabulary from an employee manual or from materials related to your work.
You have a specific vocabulary list you want to incorporate into lessons.
You want to prepare for certain situations at work or at home.
These lessons take extra preparation and so we require you to book special private lessons, in order to accommodate these requests.
How long are private Japanese lessons?
Each private lesson lasts for 50 minutes.
You can schedule blocks of private lessons back to back with a 10 minute break in-between.
We find that having a ten minute break in-between lessons allows your brain a break so that you can stay engaged with your studies.
