Personal Lessons
Testimonial from a current student
I started learning Japanese at SOAS but found the pace a bit too fast and many of my fellow students had a Japanese girlfriend or wife! It occurred to me that I would do better with private lessons at my own pace and I was introduced to Noriyuki. He is a patient and conscientious teacher and I have been studying with him for over a year.
Private One to One Lessons
Around half of the students which I teach in this manner are complete beginners whilst the other half have previous experience of learning in a formal classroom situation but did not continue as either they found the course unsuitable or that the timings were inconvenient for them. By arranging to be taught in your home or in your workplace, you can fit your learning into your life as opposed to arranging your life to suit your learning.
Group lessons
Learning in a group can have some advantages as you will be able to practice with your co-students - helping and learning from others can stimulate your learning and make it more interesting. Either you can form your own small group e.g. with friends or partners or I may be teaching other students of similar levels which would be interested in joining you. There are naturally cost advantages to be considered as well.
