Flexibility, friendliness and a pay-as-you-go billing system made J’s my choice when I moved to Tokyo 7 months ago. My learning progress has convinced me to stay. I compared J’s to other big name schools and I just don’t understand why anyone would pay thousands of dollars up-front on a rigid plan when they could learn from these effective teachers on their own timing and terms. I am now able to converse in many common situations and have a solid foundation in Japanese. And I have fun in class!
