There’s often miscommunication via emails. Also, my friends and I have only found one teacher who can answer all our questions. The rest don’t know how to answer when we ask things like, “How do you say XYZ?”

I graduated from Japan Switch today. Together with Tomoe sensei, we taught private lessons for 6 months. Her contribution to my Japanese is enormous. And of course, I had classes that I couldn't attend, I would like to thank all the sensei who helped me in our make-up lessons and the staff of Japan Switch. ありがとうございました!
Sorry we're late but — Congratulations on graduating! We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Tomoe-sensei. On behalf of Tomoe-sensei and our teachers and staff, we want to say a big thank you for studying with us and wish you all the best with your Japanese moving forward!
Thank you for saying so! We know that Japanese out in the real world can be unforgiving, so our staff and teachers make extra effort to create a safe, comfortable environment for our students. Hope your Japanese is going well!
Hi Hias03, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a positive review and hope your Japanese is going strong!

The quality, the organization, and the professionalism of Japan Switch are exceptional! Although Ι am attending the online courses, since I'm based in Greece, I believe I receive equal attention, from the school but also from my sensei, as the offline students. Keep up the great job!
Hi Helen! Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so happy to hear that you're enjoying lessons with us and hope your Japanese continues to improve. Ganbatte kudasai!

Hello there. I was worried for a second, but I double checked our response and it was a normal response. Our staff was polite and asked you a fair question based on our past dealings to be considerate of your time.

“I was very satisfied with Japan Switch (JS) services. First of all, the staff at the reception desk were very welcoming and friendly. Moreover, they were very fluent in English, so they had no problems answering and clarifying the questions I had about the course content and terms of the contract. Secondly, the instructors I met, Ando-sensei and Wada-sensei, were very professional and passionate about teaching. They had plenty of teaching experience, so they had no problems tailoring the lessons to my language proficiency level, interests, and, most importantly, job needs. Finally, I would like to say that JS was one of the most affordable language schools I had ever attended in Tokyo. They really gave me “the best bang for the buck.” I would really recommend JS to any foreign worker or a resident in Japan who wants to take his/her Japanese skills to the next level while studying in a friendly, professional, and affordable language school.”… – show
Thank you so much for your kind review, Gilbran! Ando-sensei and Wada-sensei are two absolutely wonderful people that I'm so lucky to have as team members and I'm really glad that you found their lessons useful to you not only as an employee but as an individual. Ando-sensei, Wada-sensei and the whole team have contributed in so many ways to help make the school what it is today and we can't express how great it feels to hear that we've helped you on your journey to learn Japanese.

I've been extremely satisfied with Japan Switch. Learning a language can be really difficult, but the very friendly staff and teachers make it more fun and enjoyable. They do a great job of adjusting to my individual needs as a learner. Their switch to online lessons happened almost seamlessly. I haven't found quality Japanese lessons at a more affordable price than this. Highly recommended!
Hi Matt! Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really glad to hear our staff's hard work and passion for teaching has translated into value for you as a student and that we've been able to help you level up your Japanese skills.:)

I had a great time at japan switch and i wished i could stay longer but i have to travel. The teachers are fantastic and really give you all the attention you need. I had two private lessons and one group lesson and i have nothing but great reviews for both. I can definitely see some progress in my Japanese skills although i'm not perfect yet. And the staff, always so helpful and welcoming. This was definitely a good choice!
It was a pleasure meeting you Fatma and we are glad to be of service:). We hope you can make it back again and have a safe trip home.

Very friendly environment, students get to practice more through conversations instead of strictly following the textbooks. Teachers care about individuals’ progress and will cater the teaching material to individuals’ needs in private lessons. Classes are also easy to sign up and allows flexibility of rescheduling (make-up lessons). Would recommend to people who need to improve their verbal skills or anyone who has a busy schedule.
Creating a monthly enrollment and make up lesson system is honestly a hassle to manage from an operations point of view, but we are glad you appreciate the effort we are putting into providing Japanese lessons in Tokyo.

Lessons at Japan switch are super fun and helpful. I'd recommend taking private lessons so you can focus on the lessons that are most relevant and go at your own pace. Compared to other schools, the lessons are way more affordable, so can you afford not to get started learning Japanese?
Hi Harry! Thank you so much for saying that. We certainly agree that students can benefit from private lessons and we've worked hard to make sure that our lessons are affordable so that money doesn't have to be a barrier to your education.

I'm hours away from leaving Japan, and one of the things that I know for sure I'm gonna miss the most is Japan Switch. These classes were so much fun and I learned lots, it surprises me just how much, and in only a couple of months too. The survival Japanese taught by these AMAZING teachers may seem a bit tedious at first, but trust me, it's the way to learn a language; going out to restaurants, shops, and stations and just practicing practicing practicing, knowing exactly what to say! This gave me so much confidence to speak, and by doing this I improved without even noticing it. I believe the school has a spectacular teaching technique down.
It saddens me that I didn't get to say goodbye to Hirayama-san, Shimada-san and Ishida-san, my teachers during my months in school. They, and all the staff, are so kind, fun, welcoming, and of course, wonderful teachers. Truly, truly incredible people.
I couldn't recommend this school more. I had a wonderful time, and I can't wait to go back and continue where I left off.… – show
Hi Joanna! Hirayama-san, Shimada-san, Ishida-san and I all can't thank you enough for your kind words. We're so happy that we could help you boost your confidence so that you could actually get out there and live your best life around Tokyo without having to stress about the Japanese language. We hope that you've continued improving your Japanese and that our paths will cross again someday! Stay safe!

Don't use this school! There policies are not clear. They say that you can have one makeup lesson a month but they make it very difficult to do it. Please don't go to this school!
Thank you for your feedback Janet. Based on your feedback, we simplified our manual on booking make up lessons. We also make it clear that lesson cancellations need to be made one day in advance (not the same day). We hope you continue your Japanese learning adventure and have a nice day.

Great school, great teachers. The program they have will teach you to speak Japanese in a really short time. Good community, small groups, and good learning materials. You will be prepared for daily conversation in no time.
Hi Todor! We're so happy to hear that you've enjoyed your time with us and that you've grown to feel confident in speaking Japanese! We've always wanted to be more than just a school and really lean into creating a community of likeminded individuals from all over the world who can support each other through the ups and downs of learning Japanese. Thank you for being a part of that and we wish you all the best with your studies!

I took lessons at Japan Switch for about 2 months and I loved every lesson I had with Satou sensei. He was very supportive and gave me a lot of feedback specific to the special topic I asked him about. It was very easy to get started at Japan Switch, and the process was very smooth. It has a great location being 5 minutes from Shinjuku station, and doesn't hurt that it is the cheapest place in Tokyo to study Japanese currently. I highly recommend you take lessons at Japan Switch.
Hi Harley! Satou-sensei and the whole team were delighted to hear your feedback! Thank you so much! Taking initiative in your own learning is such an important part of the process and we're really happy that we were able to be a part of your learning Japanese journey. We wish you all the best with your studies!:)

This school has been really great for me. They are really flexible and accommodating to my work schedule which is extremely rare. Lessons and reasonably priced which is also a major bonus. My teacher was really helpful and even veered off course with me to answer some grammar questions not in the text. I highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to improve their Japanese.
Hi Christina! Thank you for your kind review! We love hearing from our students about how our teachers are really just people before they're teachers and how they very much focus on the genuine needs of our students above everything else. It's great to hear that you've enjoyed your time with us and we hope your Japanese is still going strong!

I have had lessons here for a few weeks now in the low intermediate class. The staff are very friendly and the lessons are very affordable. The teaching materials are very helpful but I also like that the teachers are flexible and don't enforce textbook learning. It provides the opportunity for me to have more natural speaking practice while the materials can be used as a guide to help me improve. Overall, very happy with my experience.
Hi James! Thank you so much for your kind review! We love hearing that our flexible approach and communicative focus has been helpful to our students and we wish you all the best with your studies.
