Why Nihongo-Pro?
Message from a Nihongo-Pro Student
Nihongo-pro has been the most flexible and cost-effective means for me to study Japanese.
I have been studying with Nakamura-sensei for nearly two years and have greatly enjoyed my lessons with her.
Nakamura-sensei is very personable and is a lot of fun to work with.

We take care of our students and teachers.

Our private lessons are fully customized to your language goals, which means you can learn Japanese fast and make the most efficient use of your study time. Whether you are learning Japanese for the JLPT, studying business Japanese, planning a trip to Japan, or learning Japanese for your own enrichment, Nihongo-Pro lessons are the best, fastest way to learn Japanese online.
Free Japanese quizzes every day at four skill levels. Whether you are new to Japanese or an advanced student, try a new Japanese quiz every day!
Plus, we pay our teachers better than other online Japanese schools, yet our lessons are among the most affordable anywhere.
Enrollment is free. For a limited time, a free trial lesson is available.
Better Teachers
- Nihongo-Pro teachers are professional Japanese teachers, trained in teaching Japanese and teaching online.
- Many students have taken online lessons from their Nihongo-Pro teachers for years, as they progressed in learning Japanese.
- Learning Japanese is more than chatting in Japanese: Nihongo-Pro teachers build private Japanese lessons customized to your goals and learning style, presented in our state-of-the-art online Japanese classroom.
- Nihongo-Pro teachers are paid better, even though our lessons are among the most affordable anywhere. While other online Japanese schools keep half or more of your tuition, about 80% of your Nihongo-Pro tuition is paid directly to your teacher. Better pay means better Japanese lessons for you.
Better Lessons
Online private lessons at Nihongo-Pro are fully customized to each student's needs and goals, ensuring that you will learn Japanese as quickly and efficiently as possible. Whether you are studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), learning business Japanese, focusing on written Japanese, or learning Japanese for fun, Nihongo-Pro teachers tailor your private lessons to make your learning fast, efficient, and fun.
Customizing a lesson is much more than choosing a textbook. Based on a detailed questionnaire we ask you to fill out when you enroll, your Nihongo-Pro teacher may recommend a particular textbook, and use the textbook as the foundation for your online Japanese lessons. But Nihongo-Pro teachers go farther, adding customized learning materials that you won't find in the textbook.

Better Classrooms—Way Beyond Skype Chat
Nihongo-Pro classrooms are custom built for online Japanese classes, with learning features that Skype cannot match:
- Built-in Japanese-English dictionary
- Large whiteboard for presenting lesson materials
- Teacher-directed audio playback (great for listening comprehension)
- KakikataPad™ (coming soon!)—practice writing Japanese in real time (learn to write hiragana, katakana, and Kanji)
- Easy to use, nothing to install. Log in from your browser (Flash Player required).
- One classroom = one teacher. No classroom sharing between teachers means no worries if your lesson runs a few minutes long.
Better Policies
No other online Japanese school can match Nihongo-Pro's flexibility, convenience, and customer service. From the convenience of buying lesson tickets in any quantity, to having a full year to use your lesson tickets, to some of the lowest prices for private Japanese lessons, Nihongo-Pro sets the standard in online Japanese classes.
- Buy any number of lesson tickets, from 1 to 50, and take up to one full year to complete your lessons.
- Low overhead expenses equals low tuition rates—and much better teacher pay compared to other online Japanese schools.
- Reserve lessons up to 30 days in advance—other schools charge extra for this service.
