Learn without leaving your office.

Most of our private-lesson students are busy professionals with unpredictable schedules. Kisako's private lessons make it easy for you to learn Japanese because our teachers come to your office (or any other place you designate) to give you a lesson in the setting you choose. You don't waste any time traveling to some school half-way across town, and you don't have to worry about getting to class on time! Private lessons can be held at any time between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Most Kisako students prefer to study in a one-on-one environment, but any number of students up to six per class is acceptable (groups larger than that make proper oral exercises impossible). Most of our students prefer lessons of from sixty to ninety minutes in length, but any reasonable length is acceptable.

No commitment, no obligation.

Other schools may ask you to pay an up-front fee for a full term's worth of courses, or to buy a certain number of "tickets" which you can then exchange for lessons (and which expire after a limited time). With Kisako, you can start and stop your study whenever you like, with no long-term commitment. And whether you study with us for just one week or for three years, you will never be asked to pay in advance for private lessons which you may never take.

Blow us off. Go ahead.

Maybe it's an emergency meeting of the board of directors. Or last-minute contract negotiations. Or a crisis at one of your distribution centers. There are always a dozen things demanding your attention, and you never really know what your schedule will be like tomorrow, let alone next week.

Other schools insist that you be in your seat at the same time every week, or that you make up missed lessons within the month. They even make you pay in advance, so that if some big project suddenly swallows your schedule for the rest of the quarter, all that money is wasted.

At Kisako, you can cancel on us at any time, no questions asked. If you cancel your private lesson at least twenty-four hours in advance of the lesson, then there will be no charge whatsoever. And if you cancel a private lesson less than twenty-four hours in advance, then as long as you reschedule the cancelled lesson for another time -- any time at all when the teacher is available -- then you will not be charged.

Bring Your Questions To Us Anytime

Sometimes, no matter how hard you study, something still just doesn't make sense. When that happens, you can call or e-mail Kisako for special assistance. We answer free of charge, and at any time, all questions about grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, Japanese culture, and similar subjects which our students may have.
