Student comments
Akiho: "Our group lesson teacher didn't correct my answers. My private lesson teacher kept using his mobile phone during the lesson. Other students also complained a lot about the school. For example: before we finished using the textbook, the school changed it and forced students to buy a new one. I do not recommend this school.
