How we create the points regarding what we like/dislike about a school

Location: The school is in the heart of Shinjuku, which is to the west of Tokyo. It is known as an entertainment district within the city. The neighborhood has neon-lights on shop fronts and an array of restaurants, bars, karaoke venues and more all within walking distance of the school.

Getting around the city: The Shinjuku Station is a large transportation hub in Tokyo, which is a 7 minutes walk from the school. It is a central point for many train lines, and there is an important bus station attached to it. It takes 45 minutes by public transport from the school to the centre of the city.

Attractions in Tokyo: It is easy to visit the local attractions of Tokyo from Genki Japanese and Culture School as it has an excellent travel station nearby.

Student opinions about Genki Japanese and Culture School, Tokyo

Liked
Teachers and organization. The manager at Tokyo school, Demi, answered all my questions the day after the questions were sent. Everything is available, clear and fast. The teachers are all different, with their own approach to teaching.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss In order to live in a host family, in my opinion, you need to have at least a minimal knowledge of Japanese. Approximately the level I received after 40 hours of my studies :) despite the fact that in my case the mother spoke English, it was clear that the desire to communicate in Japanese prevailed. Therefore, there was a language barrier. There is no problem with food. My way to metro took around 15 minutes, and there were 15 cafes on my route. You'd better buy Pasmo or Suica card to use public transport. This card is much faster and more convenient. Credit / debit cards are accepted at most stores, but cash is required to pay for a travel card and in almost all cafes. You have to have at least 30,000 yen with you. Regarding apartments: they are next to Ryugoku metro station, the way to school takes about 40 minutes in general: on foot and by train.

Other comments Many thanks to the school! Maybe I will come again for a couple of weeks. I did not assess the events, because I could not attend any. But it's my fault. The school organized an activity every Friday, for a small fee. Classes are OK. There is air conditioning. The building overlooks an office building and a temple, quite quiet.

The teacher were extremly friendly and gave their best to make everyone happy and answer all questions properly. The atmosphere was very nice as it felt more like a meeting point for lots of people to you hang out together.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Staying in school after class is nice. The school offers many activities, such as going for dinner, having a movie night or just playing some games.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss The private lessons at the school are very good. Conversationclass does not bring very much. Since you mainly only talk to classmates about some topic, which is determined by the teacher.

Quality of teaching / language progress: GenkiJACS was an incredible learning experience. I have been studying Japanese for a while but when I got to the school they quickly pointed out what level I should be learning and placed me in the perfect class with peers with similar level. The conversation class especially helped me be able to speak the language better. I felt a huge improvement in only a month! The teachers are all so helpful and nice so you really feel at ease in the classroom. All in all I would say that if you are interested in learning Japanese in Tokyo GenkiJACS is the place to be!

Other comments You should know in advance what to expect: - Classes always take place in the morning and the afternoon, personal activities can only take place on weekends. - If you have little knowledge of the language, you can only start at certain times. - Shinjuku is a badly signposted metro station, in 6 days I took 6 different routes out of the station. Without the GPS on my iPhone, I would never have found the school.
