As a tax accountant, I advise companies on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). I came to Japan in 2013 as an expatriate, and now, a few years later, I work in accounting at a Japanese company.
Until 2020, I had never seriously studied Japanese. The pandemic gave me the time to reflect on myself and work on improving my skills. My dream is to be able to speak fluent Japanese for daily life. Then, I would like to gradually move to the business level.
TCJ has the most flexible class hours, especially in the evenings (7:00-9:00 PM), which is perfect for a working person like me. Also, the management team is very understanding of each student's priorities and needs. Most importantly, the "student's normal work" is given top priority.
Each student is treated with respect and given individual attention. The location is also very convenient (only 30 seconds from the Shinanomachi station gates on the Chuo-Sobu line).

I came to Japan last year because of my husband‘s job transfer. Since I have no knowledge of Japanese, it became urgent for me to brush up my Japanese. I am currently doing some freelance work online on my own.
In terms of professional development, I would like to work for an international marketing or PR firm in the future. I have a degree in Food Science and I am fluent in English and Chinese. Ideally, I would like to use my language skills to become an international business liaison with a focus on sustainability.
With my knowledge of Japanese, I believe I will be able to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Japanese culture. Of course, it will also make my daily life in Tokyo easier. For me, the most important thing in learning a language is to set small, achievable goals.
And when you achieve those small goals, celebrate them. Learning a new language is hard, and we all need to keep our own pace when it comes to language learning. There is no need to compare yourself to others or be discouraged by how much progress others are making.
As long as you stay focused on your goals and execute your plan, you are on the right path to success. TCJ offers a wide variety of classes to meet the diverse needs of students, not only in terms of Japanese language proficiency level. In addition, online courses are also available, which has allowed me to have more flexibility in my daily life!

After graduating from college with a degree in International Relations, I moved to Japan in 2017 and since then I have been working as an actor as well as an English teacher.
I've taught English to students from kindergarten to college, and I've loved every second of it! Living a new life abroad is not easy, but it is a very fun adventure. I am currently enjoying my job as a teacher very much, but I am looking forward to accomplishing much more.
I would also like to gain valuable experience in the field of business and diplomacy, and in order to do so, it is very important for me to be able to speak fluent Japanese. I would like to impress the people around me with my strong Japanese language skills, and I would also like to learn how to negotiate in Japanese.
I've been to a few other schools before, but the staff at TCJ is the nicest I've encountered. TCJ truly cares about education and wants their students to succeed. TCJ has morning, evening, and private classes that can be taken on your own schedule. I am a very busy person, so it was great that they offered an evening course in business Japanese that fit my schedule. My classmates are friendly and motivate me to learn Japanese.

I recently finished my classes in College Last May, 2020 and graduated online through Zoom last October, 2020.
Then I came back to Japan this July 1st and started studying in TCJ on the 27th. I have been studying in TCJ for roughly about six months now and it helped me in refreshing my Japanese since l mostly lived in the Philippines and only came to Japan on my summer vacations. Our classis now between level N4 and N3 with more Kanji's and new words that is quite challenging but manageable.
I am not really pressuring myself since my only goal right now is to learn Japanese. I'm still undecided however right now due to the COVID-19 crisis I'm taking my time.
But so far, TCJ has been a great help for the improvement of my everyday life and conversation in Japan.
TCJ offers different classes and a range of levels that suits you best. My message to the incoming students, for the people that are considering, or even for those who are undecided is to choose the right school. I really recommend TCJ, not only because I'm studying here, right now, but everyone is friendly and approachable. I think that the environment can impact a student's performance and growth.

I have been living in Japan for over 18 years I came here after I married my husband in Bangladesh. Since then I have been working at a restaurant and have also been helping my husband. I am okay at talking with people but when it comes to writing I never had the opportunity to learn. My son’s sometimes teach me to read words here and there but other then that I have never been to a language school or have been thought.
The reason why I came to study Japanese at TCJ is because I want to start my own business and for starting my own business I need to learn Japanese. My goals are I will finish taking N3 Japanese test by the end of 2021 if possible.
TCJ offers variety of classes including private tutor.In those I have chose the evening classes like I have mentioned earlier I work at a restaurant at Morning time so I take evening classes. I recommend TCJ because even after COVID-19 they provide online classes and still teaches you in a good manner. One more reason why I would recommend this school is you will find friends from all over the world.

I just study right now in TCJ Japanese school and I have family here in japan, and also going to the gym.
I like to make friends and want to find job doing better experience in japan.
I want find nice job in the company.
When I start studying here, I really cannot understand nothing. But now after study in this school, I really became better. I can read, write and even know kanji. If you really want to learn Japanese language, come and enjoy this school. Its price is cheap and nice teachers they do they best to let you understand.
