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 feel grateful for my dedicated and knowledgable Japanese teacher.
I have been studying Japanese for more than 10 years now and I have been lucky enough to have Ms. Nakano Michiko as my teacher for most of that time. She is an experienced Japanese teacher who is always open-minded and thoughtful about how to improve her students' Japanese skills.

After I passed my JLPT N1 exam, I wanted to maintain my Japanese level, but my work took up a lot of my time, making it difficult for me to attend regular face-to-face lessons. That's when Nihongo-Pro came in to provide a solution. With their flexible online lessons and technical support, I was able to continue my studies even with a demanding work schedule.

Nakano-sensei made each lesson enjoyable and I learned so much from her, not just about the Japanese language but also about the culture of Japan. I feel grateful for having such a dedicated and knowledgeable teacher who is always willing to go the extra mile to help me succeed.

I highly recommend Nihongo-Pro and Nakano-sensei to anyone looking to improve their Japanese skills.

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.
