Our Approach

Efficiency

Although we try to keep our lessons predominantly in Japanese, our teachers can give explanations in English if needed, so your questions will never go unanswered. Our bilingual teachers can analyze Japanese by comparing it to English or other languages.

Relevance

We strongly believe that you should focus on learning the Japanese which will be most beneficial to you. We teach you how to express yourself in contexts most relevant to you. It’s no good to simply repeat some phrases from a text book. We will address your personal interests and needs in Japanese!

Practicality

We value your time and effort, so we want to teach you something practical. For example, every textbook introduces “nakereba naranai” as an expression meaning “have to” or “must”. But, we prefer “naito ikenai” because this phrase is more commonly used and easier to learn. With our experience we can quickly identify the best thing to teach.
