The homeroom teacher of each class will conduct mock interviews after school. Students wish to practice and develop their interview skills in Japanese can also make an appointment to practice with our teachers or staff. After the mock interviews, students can have confidence when interviewing for school enrollment.

Graduate School Enrollment Examination Preparation

Our teachers help students prepare for graduate school entrance examinations during the graduate school preparation class. Besides the exam preparation, we also offer individual guidance to support students preparing the interview and writing their research plans properly.

JLPT Preparation

Every year, almost all students take the JLPT exam in order to seek a job or pursue further education in Japan. When the JLPT was revised in 2010, they decided not to publish past exam questions. We help students develop their basic Japanese language skills in regular daily lessons. For students who have already been upgraded to middle level, they can also improve their exam skills in the afternoon required elective classes.
