The type of courses we offer:
Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Japanese
Japanese lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Japanese—needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'—those studying Japanese usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefited from these Japanese classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts for Japanese culture and those hoping to pass a specific exam in Japanese.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Japanese
These Japanese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Japanese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail Japanese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.

Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time.
