After you fill out the questionnaire, we will match you with a Nihongo-Pro teacher and set up a trial lesson at no charge.

If you like your trial lesson, buy lesson tickets to continue learning Japanese online.
Each ticket, good for one 50-minute private lesson with the same teacher who taught your trial lesson, costs US $28 to $35, depending on how many tickets you buy.
Message from a Nihongo-Pro Student
I have tried a lot of methods for learning Japanese but this one is definitely the best.
I was stuck in my Japanese learning, mostly focusing on kanji rather than grammar. I studied alone for 2 years and always had a problem with speaking and grammar retention (always forgetting some grammar points).

Then, I found Kawamura-sensei at Nihongo-Pro.

With Kawamura-sensei, learning grammar became easier and fun. She always explains grammar points to make them easier to learn. She is also there to answer my numerous question about something I saw in a book or somewhere else. She is kind and always gives extra explanations (even repeating things because I forgot them -- 忘れてしまいましてごめんさない).

My conversations with Kawamura-sensei are fun and interesting while still learning lots of things about Japan. My speaking and listening ability have improved greatly.

It is worth every penny I spend on Nihongo-Pro. I recommend everyone to try Kawamura-sensei's lessons—you won't regret it.

河村先生、教えてくれてほんとにありがとうございます。

Nihongo-Pro has changed the way I study Japanese.
When I found Nihongo-Pro, I hadn’t lived in Japan in over 17 years, and hadn’t studied Japanese in over 30 years!

The search to find just the right teacher for my particular needs was overwhelming, to say the least; I am happy to say I found such a teacher in Nakano-sensei. She is very experienced, and knew my level and abilities from the very first lesson. I like that she knows how to adjust the lesson to address some of my weak points, and I appreciate her patience and ability to explain certain nuances in the Japanese language. Nakano-sensei is also fun to talk with, and always chooses interesting topics for conversation.

I take lessons twice a week, and have seen a great improvement in my Japanese reading, listening, and kanji recognition. However, the most important benefit of taking Japanese lessons online with Nakano-sensei is having someone to hold me accountable in my studies. I have tried before and failed trying to learn on my own—especially living in an area where almost no one speaks Japanese. Her lessons have renewed my interest in seriously studying Japanese, and for that I am truly grateful.

I look forward to finally returning to Kyoto, and being able to speak naturally with my Japanese friends and college host family. It would also be nice to visit Nakano-sensei in her beautiful city someday! She’s a wonderful teacher and a great person, and I couldn’t ask for a better Japanese learning experience.
