Carefully Selected Teaching Experts

Carefully Selected Teaching Experts Proficient in language and teaching skills

Our teacher selection criteria are unique
and strict - not only must they be fluent in
Japanese, but also excel at teaching. Each
teacher undergoes professional teaching
ability assessment and systematic training,
ensuring clear knowledge delivery and
precise grasp of learning challenges. Our
team knows that language proficiency
alone does not equate to teaching skills, so
we particularly emphasize the ability to
explain complex concepts, design effective
practice, and provide constructive
feedback, making your learning process
smoother and more efficient.

Scientific Micro-Learning

Scientific Micro-Learning Highly effective learning aligned with attention span

Our course design is based on cognitive
science research - the human optimal
attention span is only 15-20 minutes. Each
lesson is precisely controlled within this
golden time, maximizing learning
efficiency. Through pre-recorded concise
lessons, you can complete an entire
learning unit during commutes, lunch
breaks, or any fragmented time, without
wasting a minute or exceeding the optimal
attention span. This scientific microlearning
approach allows you to steadily
accumulate Japanese proficiency even in a
busy life.
