Our Sydney Japanese Language school, Nihongo-Juku‘s teachers make a great team, meeting weekly in workshops focussing on how to develop teaching methods, etc. The school’s highly qualified Japanese language teachers are native speakers with many years of teaching experience in Japan, Canada and Australia. In combination with the English-language support offered by the school, the team is motivated to provide the most up-to-date teaching methods to make your learning experience fun and memorable. Some teachers also have years of experience teaching children in Saturday morning classes at community language schools in Sydney, and each has received clearance, as recognized by their Working With Children Check (WWCC) number in NSW. Students can enjoy learning Japanese using a unique method and attractive approach that is suitable for beginners (who have never studied Japanese) through to advanced learners (e.g., people wish to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) from Level 5 to 1) and also students who need HSCpreparation. Speaking and writing, listing and reading, all are combined in the classes. And for students of English as a Second Language (ESL), the school offers support in preparation for the predominant tests assessing English listening, speaking, writing and reading skills, such as TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS. Further support also is available for building skills and confidence as a non-native speaker intending to study or work in a destination where English is used as the international language of communication.

Nihongo–Juku

The Japanese language term “Juku” refers to the practice of scholars and intellectuals who in the Heian period would take disciples into their homes, but also has come to be used to describe the modern-day “cram school” practice in which people needing extra study can have regular sessions outside of conventional schools. It is the intention of our Japanese language school, Nihongo–Juku to offer such an experience to anyone who wants to study Japanese outside of a school, at their own convenient time for studying with us.
