Private

Intended Audience

Private class Students who enroll in private or private come from all ability levels. However, there are often three distinct types of students who usually enroll in private lessons. They are:

  • Students who wish to create a program of study exclusively tailored to their individual needs and prerogatives.

  • Students who have prior commitments (i.e. family, work) that may prevent them from taking on a full time study during business hours.

  • Students who are currently taking courses at YAMASA and who wish to supplement their current course work with additional material.

As the length of time and mode of delivery is decided by the student, the course can go for as long or short as you like and also can be started at any time (See below).

Why Private lessons?

As mentioned in the previous section (see above), students who take private lessons usually fall into one of three categories. The following will now give a general outline as to how private courses can:

  • Allow enrollees to create a module of study that possesses a high level of flexibility in order to help them achieve their objectives.

  • Help supplement prior learning for students already enrolled in YAMASA courses.

  • Allow students who have other commitments besides study (family, work, travel) that could impede on their ability to undertake a comprehensive course of study.

Content

If enrolled in a YAMASA private course, the above listed students can expect:

  • Personalized curriculum: Upon getting in contact with our friendly admissions staff, your Japanese level and study goals will be given a preliminary assessment in person or online. After this has been conducted, you will be given a further assessment with your teacher in order to ascertain what kind of curriculum and/or teaching materials are right for you. Furthermore, in conjunction with your teacher, you will be able to set study goals that will best realize your future plans for studying Japanese.
    As mentioned elsewhere, different people have different goals when it comes to studying the Japanese language. For this reason, when designing your study plan, we do not limit ourselves to merely a ‘traditional’ language curriculum. We are able to encompass other areas of Japanese culture into your study plan if it suits you.

  • Direct access to your teacher: If you choose the private lesson option, you will be guaranteed that you will have full one on one access to your teacher. Both options insure that you will have full opportunity to increase your Japanese language proficiency by practicing the Japanese that you have learnt in class and at home.

  • A teacher whose skill set match your needs: Upon completing your preliminary interview, your stated needs will be matched against our vast list of experienced and flexible Japanese language specialists. The utmost will be done to find a teacher whose life experience, interests and skill set will help you realize your objectives.

  • Flexibility: As lessons run between 9 AM and 5 PM, you will be able to choose a time that suits you rather than vice versa.

Visa Information

As this course runs on principle for a maximum of 12 weeks, you may be able to enter the country on a short term 90 day visa if you are coming from overseas or on a working holiday visa. Please note that your length of stay will be determined largely by the passport that you hold (See note below).
Student visas are only issued for courses that run for more than a prescribed total of 6 months and due to the fact that the length of this course can be subject to change, it is not possible to apply for a student visa to enroll initially enroll in this course on an exclusive basis.

Note: In 2014, the Japanese government granted exemptions to a group of 67 countries in regards to applying for short term visas; meaning that residents of these countries are better able to enter Japan.
For further information regarding whether or not you qualify for any of the two visas listed above or if you currently hold or will apply for a different type of visa to those listed above, please contact the admissions department at YAMASA via e-mail at admissions@yamasa.org or via telephone at 81 (0)564-55-8111.
