It is reassuring to choose a school where you can check the teacher’s profile on the official website.
2. Diversity of curriculum
Ensure the curriculum matches your learning objectives. Whether it’s business Japanese, daily conversation, or JLPT preparation, courses tailored to specific goals make learning easier. Choose a course that suits your needs.
3. Lesson Format
Decide whether individual or group lessons suit you best. Individual lessons are often suitable for beginners, while group lessons are effective for conversation practice. Utilize trial lessons to find the format that works for you.
4. Transparency of Pricing Plans
Make sure the tuition fees are clear and fit your budget. There are different fee structures, such as monthly and point systems, so it is important to choose a school that clearly states its fee plan.
5. Reputation and Word-of-Mouth
Check reviews and reputations from other learners. Evaluations on social media and review sites can be helpful when choosing a school. In particular, schools with many positive evaluations give you a sense of security.
6. Comprehensiveness of Technical Support
Confirm that there is support available to quickly address technical issues during online classes. Schools with robust support systems ensure smooth learning experiences.
7. Availability of Trial Lessons
Choose a school that offers a free trial lesson and check the quality of the lessons. Through a trial lesson, you can check whether the teacher and teaching style suit you.

9. Quality and Quantity of Teaching Materials
Check the quality of the teaching materials provided and whether there are sufficient online resources. A school with a wide range of teaching materials and high quality can improve your learning effectiveness.
