It is essential to do these assignments at home for students to retain knowledge. We check all assignments in a timely manner and give feedback.

Our feedback will help students effectively improve their Japanese skills.


Intermediate Japanese

In this class, we practice speaking and writing in various styles.

We also incorporate  evolving  new trends, and pop culture such as Anime and Manga into lessons.

 

Advanced Japanese

In this class, we have discussions about everyday Japanese social interactions. 

We will practice how to interact and communicate in various social situations.          

In addition to studying Japanese grammar and vocabulary, our program is designed to help you learn how to express yourself in fun and effective ways.

Lessons are expected to start within a month of the meeting. If you would like to wait to start your lesson later than that, please contact us again within one month of your preferred starting date. Please note that the originally assigned instructor might not be available if you decide to wait.

Can I reschedule my lesson?

Once your lesson schedule is set, we cannot change it. A lesson may be rescheduled if our instructors has any technical problems. However, if you let us know of your absence by the 15th of the previous month, we can take that lesson out of your schedule before it is finalized and you will not be charged. This rule applies for only one absence per month. You are responsible to pay for the second, third, fourth, and fifth absence.

It depends on what you would like to study. Please contact us to discuss that.

Can I terminate my contract anytime?

It is a month to month basis. Contact your instructor by the 15th in the previous month if you would like to stop taking lessons from the next month. (e.g. Contact by 4/15 to cancel from 5/1) You can cancel lessons anytime; however, no refund will be issued once payment is made.
