Looking for Evening or Weekend Lessons?

We recommend our partner Coto Language Academy who provide high quality Japanese lessons to meet your evening & weekend needs.

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 group lesson student the ability to make up the exact lesson.

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.

If your schedule is busy and you really need flexibility, we recommend our partners Coto Language Academy.

Yes, you can 🙂

You can take up to 5 lessons a week. The more lessons you take the faster you will learn. 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.

Yes, you most definitely can.

We are also offering online group lessons from 01/2021.
