01 / THE J COACHING APPROACH
Your goals. Your pace. Your coach.
You know the words.
Now make them yours.
You can understand Japanese. But in a meeting, an interview, or a conversation that matters, the right words don't always come.
We connect what you know to what you want to do. With a personal plan, daily feedback, and a coach who works with you every week.
For professionals aroundN3N2N1
A story worth telling.
Explain your experience and strengths clearly in a Japanese interview.
INTERVIEWS & CAREERConfidence that connects.
Find the right tone with clients, from first introductions to the next proposal.

INSTAGRAM / J COACHING
Who is J Coaching for?
Our core program is for international professionals living and working in Japan, around JLPT N3 to N1. It is especially relevant if you want to speak more confidently in meetings, interviews, or client conversations. If you are at another level or preparing to move to Japan, tell us about your situation.
How much time should I set aside?
The standard plan is built around approximately three hours of daily study, plus a 60-minute coaching session each week. We discuss your work schedule and what you can realistically commit to before you start.
How is this different from conversation lessons?
J Coaching supports the whole learning process: planning, materials, daily practice, feedback, and progress checks. Your weekly session helps improve how you study and how you use Japanese. The main progress comes from the practice you do each day.
Can we focus on my work or job interviews?
Yes. We can build practice around explaining your work, sharing ideas in meetings, answering interview questions, or speaking with clients. We set learning goals together and review your progress. Specific exam, hiring, or promotion outcomes are not guaranteed.
Are materials included? Can I pay in installments?
Selected learning materials are included in your program. One-time payment and installment options are available. Any installment fees, payment schedule, and total amount will be explained before you sign up. Separately recommended external conversation services may have additional fees.
What happens in the free consultation?
We start with your goals, current Japanese, and the situations you want to handle better. A level check helps us recommend a suitable plan. We explain the support, duration, full fee, and next steps so you can decide whether it fits. Contact us directly on WhatsApp to arrange your online consultation.
How do I find out which plan and fee apply to me?
You do not need to choose a duration first. Tell us about your goals in the free consultation. After checking your level and schedule, we recommend a program and explain the full fee, including what is covered and available payment options.
