"Without doubt the very best teacher I have ever had, he took me from being a non-speaker to an A pass in A-level Japanese. I am now half way through my Degree in Japanese (MA) at the University of Edinburgh. Noriyuki sensei is a truly talented teacher, I owe him a lot, I can't thank him enough."
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.
