At the Reiwa Chinese Center, we focus on learning Chinese communication skills to help you in real business situations. Unlike English, many Japanese people learn Chinese for the first time when they are adults. To help them learn how to use Chinese, we have established effective learning methods based on our long experience of providing private lessons to a variety of individuals.
We believe that providing a uniform course or program decided by the school is ineffective and has negative effects on learning Chinese, the continuation of learning, and the effectiveness of learning, so we prefer to place companies and individuals based on their purpose for learning, the level of their Chinese, and their desired level.
Also, we are concerned about the contracts that are common in language schools that require high fees for an entire year, or dozens of lessons, or require students to purchase textbooks that cost tens of thousands of yen, when they apply for a course that they are not sure they can continue.
