Partner Class

Partner Class is a popular option for students who want to study Japanese with Japanese tutors at an affordable price. Our partner tutors are carefully selected and approved by Helping Hands. They are warm, supportive, and motivated Japanese speakers who enjoy helping learners improve their communication skills. Partner tutors may or may not have professional teaching qualifications, but many are native Japanese speakers with strong communication skills. Some speak English or other languages, some have lived or studied abroad, and some are aspiring Japanese language teachers. Because they understand the challenges of learning another language, they often provide friendly and practical support for learners. This class is especially suitable for students who want relaxed conversation practice, regular opportunities to use Japanese, and personal support from a Japanese speaker. It is also a good choice for learners who want to build confidence before moving on to more structured lessons. Please note that Partner Class lessons are supported by volunteer tutors. For this reason, lesson availability depends on each tutor’s schedule, location, and teaching conditions. If you need highly structured lessons, JLPT preparation, business Japanese, children’s lessons, or more flexible scheduling, we recommend Pro Class with a professional Japanese teacher.

Pro Class – Advanced Grammar and Structured Learning

Pro Class is a private Japanese lesson option with professional Japanese teachers. It is ideal for learners who want structured lessons, clear explanations, and a study plan designed around specific goals. This class is especially suitable for students who want to improve Japanese efficiently for work, school, daily life in Japan, or future study and career opportunities.

Pro Class is also recommended for learners preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test(JLPT). Professional teachers can support JLPT N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1 preparation, including grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, test strategies, and regular review based on each student’s level.

Lessons can be arranged according to your goals, preferred learning style, schedule, and location. Depending on teacher availability, Pro Class can be held online, at home, at your office, or at another convenient location. You may also share preferences such as English support, teaching experience, lesson focus, or teacher style when requesting a tutor.

If you need reliable lesson planning, professional guidance, fast progress, or specialized support such as business Japanese, JLPT preparation, children’s Japanese lessons, school support, or corporate Japanese training, Pro Class is the most suitable option.

Flexible Scheduling

You can plan 5 hours of lessons per month with your tutor. Many students take one 60-minute lesson per week, while others choose 75-minute lessons or arrange their lesson time more flexibly depending on their schedule.
