"Since I started learning Japanese from Ishibashi-sensei a little more than a year ago, I have made more progress than I could have imagined. Not only did I have a pleasant and enjoyable time studying the fascinating Japanese language, but also Ishibashi-sensei did his best to introduce Japanese culture to me, which too is very important. This has inspired me to continue to study Japanese, and I look forward to learning more from him. I have found that there is a great deal to be gained from one-on-one tuition from a remarkable teacher, even in a short period of time."
I have created formal courses for in-company training where a group of employees need to learn Japanese for professional reasons. I would typically create a custom course to your specific needs. A typical basic course would require a commitment of some 30 hours from students and teaching would take place over a period of 3 - 4 months.
A London based company was taken over by a Japanese based multi-national and a course was devised for the management in basic business Japanese - language and customs to ensure good communications between the two.
A London based language school was experiencing a significant increase in the number of Japanese students being admitted. The front-office staff required knowledge of basic Japanese to help in communication, so a custom course was designed and taught to their requirements.
