Individual Attention : The teacher gets to know you and your learning style, check your performance during class, instantly answer all your questions and help you overcome your problems.
Coherent participation: you participate in all class activities, share your ideas, you have more time to practice the language with your teacher and classmates.
Tailored course : The teacher helps you work on your learning objectives and goals, such as traveling, reading a book in Japanese, understanding Japanese pop culture, having conversations with locals, friends or relatives, or take a JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test).
