Partner classes are popular with students who wish to study Japanese with Japanese tutors on a budget. Japanese language tutors are carefully selected and approved by HH(Helping Hands). They are passionate and hospitable Japanese language teachers. They may or may not have professional teaching experience, but many are native Japanese who speak fluent English. Some of them are also aspiring Japanese language teachers. Many have also lived abroad and learned the language. For them, teaching their native language is of irreplaceable value. Frankly speaking, we really recommend this class. You can take private Japanese lessons at their convenience, but you cannot force the tutors to do so at your own convenience. Unlike the Pro class, these are unpaid volunteer tutors with or without teaching experience.
Japanese tutors are experienced professional Japanese language teachers for private Japanese lessons. This course is ideal for those who have a sufficient budget or who want to improve their Japanese in a short period of time for work or educational reasons. This Pro class is also especially suitable for those who wish to achieve a high score on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test(JLPT). Please request the instructor’s English ability, gender, and age. Pro class Japanese tutors can conduct classes at your preferred location and time, such as at home or at work, making this the shortest study plan.
