"Convenient language school located in front of the station"

Yume Suzuki, student from Japan

It is conveniently located near the station, making it very convenient for people who work and take evening classes. The classroom is locked shortly after the class starts, which was a bit inconvenient for me as my work hours vary from day to day. The textbooks are the same for all classes, but the teaching style varies slightly depending on the teacher. There were several instances where the teacher changed due to the number of students in the class or the school's circumstances, even though the students did not choose them.
