Student Testimonials

What students say about EduPoint Japanese tutoring

Naufal A.

11th-grade high school student

Jakarta

JLPT N5 passed, targeting N4 in December

I started learning because I love anime. After 8 months I just passed JLPT N5. Ms. Naura teaches with examples from Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen β€” the material sticks because there's context.

Mrs. Diana K.

Parent of a 5th-grade student

Bandung

Mastered all 92 Hiragana & Katakana characters

My child used to only memorize anime character names. After 6 months with Ms. Naura, she now reads Hiragana and Katakana fluently and writes her own name in Kanji. The amazing part is, my normally restless child asks for extra Japanese lessons.

Dhewantara M.

Engineer at a Japanese automotive company

Karawang

JLPT N3 passed, promoted to Aichi office

I was offered a promotion to Toyota's Aichi headquarters but it required JLPT N3 + keigo. After 10 months with Ms. Gitaratri, I passed N3 and can now hold keigo meetings with my Japanese supervisor. Promotion secured.

Stella A.

Undergraduate student, MEXT 2026 candidate

Yogyakarta

JLPT N2 + passed MEXT round 2

I'm targeting MEXT Research 2026 which requires JLPT N2 minimum. Ms. Aisyah is herself a MEXT alumna so she knows the exact strategy. Beyond language, she helped me prepare my motivation essay and Japanese-language interview. I made it through to round 2!
