Lesson Rquirements & Application
Limited Course Sizes
Each course has a different maximum number of students. I try class sizes are small so that I can ensure everyone is progressing at the same pace, and get the attention they need if they are having trouble understanding or want to ask questions.
The minimum number of students for a course is 2. If a course does not reach that minimum number, the course will be canceled and payments will be fully refunded.
Length of Lessons
The length of each lesson is 60 minutes. However, when the lesson has only two students, the lesson is folded to 50 minutes.
Textbook
Beginner A01 and A02 students do not need to purchase any textbooks, as all instructional materials will be provided. For Beginner A03 and A04, Genki: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese, Volume 1 (3rd Edition) will be used.
Lesson Requirements
All the couses are done online via Zoom, so you will need a Zoom account, computer (not smart phone), and a microphone and headphones so you can talk and see the shared screen during the class.
How To Apply and the Payment Process
The application process for all courses is on a first come, first serve basis. To reserve your seat, you need to purchase the course via a link I set up.
