For professionals who want to work, not just chat, in Japanese. We focus on the language of real business life: keigo (polite speech) that lands correctly, confident email and messaging, meeting and presentation phrasing, and the cultural nuances that make the difference — shaped around your industry and the situations you actually face.

A clear, calm route through the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, from N5 all the way to N1. We build a study plan around your target level and timeline, then work steadily through grammar, vocabulary, reading, and listening — with real practice and honest feedback so you walk into the exam knowing you're ready.

The practical, real-world Japanese that makes a trip smoother and warmer. Greetings, directions, checking in, ordering, asking for help, and the small polite phrases that open doors and earn smiles. We'll tailor it to where you're going and what you want to do when you get there.

Explore Japan through its food. Learn to read menus, navigate a restaurant with confidence, understand regional dishes, and order like a local — plus the etiquette that makes eating out in Japan such a pleasure. Delicious homework strongly encouraged.

Learn Japanese through the stories you already love. We use real scenes to teach natural, expressive language — the casual speech, slang, and rhythm you won't find in a textbook — alongside reading practice that finally lets you enjoy the original, untranslated. Bring your favourites; they become the lesson.
Packs of 3 or 10 lessons bring the per-lesson price down — and your first lesson is discounted either way.
