Looking for Afternoon or Evening or Weekend Lessons?

We recommend our partner Coto Language Academy who provide high quality Japanese lessons throughout the day at their schools in Iidabashi and Azabu.

Do you offer makeup lessons?

Yes, we offer one bonus free make up lesson monthly for our students 🙂

If you are taking 1 class a week, you will receive 1 make up class for the month. If you are taking three classes, you receive 3 classes.

Please note that you would need to be flexible in your schedule and that we cannot guarantee a make up lesson at the exact day and time you want it.

We unfortunately do NOT offer flex schedules for both group and private lessons at Japan Switch. Fortunately, this is why we are able to charge 30 - 50% less than our competitors 🙂

At Japan Switch, you would need to commit to a fixed schedule for the entire month, but we do offer make up lessons and please refer to Schedules > Make Up Lessons.

If your schedule is busy and you really need flexibility, we highly recommend you attend our sister school Coto Language Academy who provides both flexible schedules and the best quality lessons in Tokyo.

Yes, you can 🙂

You can take 1, 2, 3, or 4 lessons or more a week. The amount of lessons you take is your choice. However, please note that you would have commit to a specific amount of lessons each week for the whole month.

Ex. You would be unable to take 4 lessons one week and 1 lesson another week.

Please check Schedules > Make up lessons for how our make up lesson system works.

Yes, you can!
