UJS Language Institute 日本語学校/Japanese Language School — Local services in Tokyo

Teachers are rotated daily, so you get different teachers every day. In my personal experience, there are only 2 good teachers - the male teacher (I got his lesson only once due to relief teaching) and a Korean teacher (I got her for once a week). The male teacher is probably the kindest person in the school and doesn't make you feel bad about not knowing things. The Korean teacher can relate the grammar, kanji well and her being Korean, she pays attention to correct pronunciation and enunciation. The rest either cannot explain the grammar differences, skip some material here and there, doesn't care too much if you can speak or make you feel so small for not knowing certain things. The focus is on exams. Thus, a lot of students cannot speak well but can do very well in exams. For me, it is 20% good (1*) because you get 1 good teacher out of 5 days.

I am grateful for the time I spent studying at UJS, and this memory means a lot to me. For some reasons, I gap this semester to prepare to do something I love. That’s why I chose to study Japanese, which I always wanted to start but didn't have the chance to do. I came to UJS, and the teachers at here are very enthusiastic. I can feel that they are always on your side and want to find a way for you to improve yourself faster and learn well. The teacher also arranged the rhythm very well in the class, interspersed with the communication between the classmates in the class, so that the whole class can always be kept alive. The students are also very motivated and hard-working, making me feel like I'm back in high school, which we all work towards a goal together. Thank you so much UJS!...

There was a Chinese teacher who asked me very private questions about how much you much make in a year. I mean since I live in New York I obviously can afford this and I can proof that. She also wouldn’t reveal her face. This school is not easy to...
