What is Online Japanese Course?
An online Japanese course is private one-on-one tutoring that runs live over video. The online teacher we match to the student's needs opens the same structured Japanese module on screen, practices Kaiwa (speaking), Choukai (listening), Dokkai (reading), and Sakubun (writing) two-way on a digital whiteboard, and guides hiragana, katakana, and kanji stroke order character by character. Materials can be reopened in the app and session recordings replayed anytime. Our curriculum follows the Japan Foundation's JLPT standard, from N5 (beginner) to N1 (full mastery), with bilingual and MEXT-alumni tutors for kids, students, professionals, MEXT scholarship preparation, or SSW/Tokutei Ginou work visas.
- Online teachers are Japanese Studies graduates and MEXT alumni with native-standard pronunciation
- Hiragana, katakana, and kanji opened together on screen with guided stroke order
- Every session is recorded; students can replay kanji explanations and kaiwa practice
- All JLPT levels: N5 Beginner to N1 Full Mastery, for kids, teens, and adults

Notes from Thousands of Online Japanese Sessions
The Japanese Mistakes We Correct Most Often Over Screen
Across thousands of online sessions, tiny particles like wa and ga recur as the biggest source of confusion. On the digital whiteboard, here are the five we correct most.
Confusing the particles wa and ga
Why it happens
Both mark the subject but serve different roles.
How we fix it
Over screen we explain wa for a known topic, ga to highlight new information, with conversation examples that are recorded for replay.
Confusing the particles ni and de
Why it happens
Students are unsure when to mark place with ni or de.
How we fix it
We practice de for where an action happens, ni for destination or existence, with sentence patterns on the digital whiteboard.
Wrong politeness level (keigo)
Why it happens
Students use plain forms in formal situations.
How we fix it
We teach when to use the polite masu form versus the plain form, based on the listener, through video role-play.
Confused by on and kun kanji readings
Why it happens
One kanji can be read differently by context.
How we fix it
We introduce the pattern: kun reading for standalone words, on reading for kanji compounds, via themed vocabulary opened together on screen.
Word order follows the Indonesian pattern
Why it happens
Students put the verb in the middle, but Japanese puts it at the end.
How we fix it
We practice the subject-object-verb pattern so sentences feel natural in Japanese, with short drills corrected live on screen.
Because every session is recorded, students can replay these particle and word-order explanations until the pattern truly sticks. Once the Japanese pattern becomes a habit, sentences feel orderly and flow.
Why Us
What Makes Our Online Japanese Course Feel Different
A real teacher guiding live, scripts and grammar opened together on screen, and recordings you can replay, all woven into one online session tracked against the JLPT standard.
Live 1-on-1 with a Real Teacher

Scripts & Grammar Opened Together
Teacher and student open the same hiragana, katakana, and kanji on a digital whiteboard, stroke order guided character by character, and the material can be reopened in the app.
Every Session Recorded
Particle explanations, kanji stroke-order motions, or kaiwa practice can be replayed anytime, especially before the JLPT exam.
Per-Skill Progress Reported to Parents
Mastery of Kaiwa, Choukai, Dokkai, and Sakubun is neatly tracked against the JLPT standard and reported regularly via WhatsApp.
No Distance Limit, Savings on Transport
Japan-alumni tutors can teach a student anywhere in the country, and costs stay lighter with no travel expense.
More Guided than a Video Class
Students are guided directly by a teacher who corrects pronunciation and kanji reading on the spot over screen, with the same scripts before both of them.

Dian D.

Kanji through stories“Dian teaches kanji through the stories behind their shapes on screen, so complex characters are easier to remember than to memorize raw.”
Uya A.

The particles people mix up“Uya patiently explains particles like wa, ga, and ni that often get mixed up through sentence patterns on screen, until students know exactly when to use each.”

Structured toward JLPT“Yunita arranges the online material along the JLPT levels, so students know where they stand and have a clear target at each stage.”

Testimonials
Stories from Families Who Chose an Online Japanese Course
From a child who once only knew anime character names to a worker who flew out to Nagoya, here are the families who accompanied the journey over screen.
Mrs. Diana K.
Parent of an elementary student
Balikpapan
Hiragana & Katakana fluent (92 characters)My child loves anime, but in our city it's hard to find a Japanese teacher. Through the online course, she was taught by a patient Japanese Studies graduate, and hiragana-katakana were written together on screen until fluent. The recordings can be replayed when she forgets how to read a kanji.
Naufal A.
11th-grade high school student
Jakarta
JLPT N5 passed, targeting N4 in DecemberI targeted JLPT N5 because I love Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. My online teacher used examples from my favorite anime on screen, so the material stuck. Eight months later I passed N5.
Dhewantara M.
Engineer at a Japanese automotive company
Karawang
JLPT N3 passed, promoted to Aichi officeI needed JLPT N3 and keigo for a promotion to Toyota's Aichi headquarters. My online teacher prepared the right practice, and the mock tests were recorded so I could review them while working. Now I can hold keigo meetings and the promotion came through.
Mrs. Juliani I.
Parent of a junior high student, AFS Japan candidate
Surabaya
Progress tracked, ready for AFS exchangeI work, so this online course really helps. My child practices kaiwa after I get home, and every week I receive a progress report on WhatsApp, so I know which skill is still weak without the hassle of driving to class.
