JLPT N2 December 2025 Special Course
The next JLPT is in December. Now’s the time to prepare with focus, strategy, and support. No more random cramming or studying alone.
Our 90-day online JLPT course is designed to keep you motivated and on track during the most critical phase of your prep, so you can walk into the exam room feeling confident and ready.
💡 Why Join This Course?
The last three months before the JLPT are the hardest: motivation dips, it’s tough to stay consistent, and you’re unsure where to focus. That’s why we created this course.
In this course, you’ll:
✅ Sharpen your reading and listening comprehension, the sections most learners struggle with.
✅ Practice JLPT-style questions to get familiar with the test format.
✅ Learn time management and test strategies so you don’t just work hard, but you also work smart.
✅ Get personalized feedback and guidance when you hit roadblocks.
We focus class time on what’s hardest to do alone: comprehension, strategy, and practice. Vocabulary and grammar review? That’s for your self-study time, but we’ll point you to good resources and support you all the way.

"The Starter class with Miki was perfect for me. The pace of the class was right on and there was flexibility in the homework to allow us to do more or less depending on how much time we had. The classes were always engaging and all the students got opportunities to speak and listen as well as receive individualized feedback. It really helped jumpstart my Japanese learning!"
