PRIVATE JAPANESE CLASSES LOS ANGELES

With a Strommen teacher you will speak Japanese on the first class. A private session is more effective, efficient and convenient than enrolling in a group class. Your Strommen teacher will be a perfect fit for your needs and learning style. We equate 10 hours of private classes with a full semester in a traditional college or group class.

Scheduling is convenient (7 days a week, any time of day), and you can start right away. You can easily reschedule, so you will never miss a class and get left behind. In a private class you do the speaking. There are no other students to hide behind or take up all of the teacher’s time. Your teacher will make sure you progress at your pace, rather than the pace of the best (or worst) student in the class. Strommen further enriches your learning experience with free podcasts, videos, online resources, Strommen Language Meetups around LA, group classes, workshops and even an annual immersion trips.

Getting started is easy, just fill out our student application or call and we will help choose the best teacher for you. We decide on a specific teacher based on a number of criteria including a professional gut-feeling. We will make sure it is the perfect match. As a student, your Strommen teacher will be highly dedicated to you, but if they happen to go to Japan for vacation or you feel like switching it up a bit, rest assured you can always get a substitute or alternate teacher. The locations for our private classes are very convenient (believe it or not we probably have a location down the street). Many of our teachers meet at cafes, at their home office, or anywhere you like. We believe it’s fundamentally wrong to really learn a language from a text book, audio CD, or computer program. It’s time to get away from the computer, grab a coffee and meet your Strommen teacher to have a real conversation!

Yori

Konichiwa! My name is Yori. I'm from Ichikawa City in Chiba prefecture. When traveling to Japan you are most likely to arrive at Narita International Airport which is located in the Chiba prefecture. My city is 30min away from Tokyo by train and is also known as 'Peartown' famous for its pears. After studying oil painting at Musashino Art University of Tokyo I decided to move to NYC to continue my studies at the Art Students League of New York. I have been teaching art and Japanese classes (one-on-one and group lessons) in Los Angeles since 2011. I look forward to helping you reach your goals. Whether learning the basics or advanced reading and writing, we'll get there in a fun and encouraging environment.

Jessie

I am a native Japanese speaker with a Japanese teaching credential. All ages and levels are welcomed! Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. I am also qualified to tutor graduate students (Master’s and PhD) doing their thesis.  I believe when we learn other languages, it is important to learn their culture, history, etc. for better understanding. I’ve learned Japanese drums, Tea and flower ceremonies so that we can explore Japanese culture more than just learning the language!
