The school offers group or one-to-one tuition and covers all levels from complete beginner to advanced level. 
An entrance examination will be held in order to determine at which level your studies should commence.
 
In addition to the tuition given at the school in Oita, classes are currently being held at other locations.   Times and locations may be arranged to suit your needs.   Please contact the school to discuss your requirements.
