Here are some
answers to frequently asked questions we receive
Is
there a discount for paying for lessons in advance?
Yes. Students who
purchase a year’s tuition (48 lessons) in
advance will get
a discount of one month’s fee: i.e. they only pay for 44 lessons.
Are
the teachers native English speakers?
Yes. Our teachers
are from the USA
and the UK.
Can I
take lessons at my home or office?
Yes. If you would
prefer to take lessons anywhere other than in
one of our
classrooms we will try to accommodate your request.
Before making the contract we will work out
available times and the cost of transportation to and from your venue. The actual
cost of transportation will be added to your bill, which will be shown
to you
before the contract is finalized.
Are
there any Japanese teachers
to explain grammar for TOEIC?
Yes. Our
Intensive TOEIC courses are taught jointly by a
Japanese teacher who
is fluent in English (TOEIC 990 and EIKEN level 1) and a native English
speaker. The Japanese teacher focuses on
the reading and grammar side of the course, while the native teacher
focuses on
the listening section and general test strategies.
Can I
change the day or time of my lessons?
Yes. Students
enrolled in group lessons can attend any lessons of the
same type, or come at a different time if there is space in the
teachers’
schedule. Similarly, private lesson
students may change the time and day of their lesson if there is a
suitable
space in the schedule.
How
many students are in the group lessons?
Up to eight students may enroll in a
particular class, but because of our flexible group lesson system,
typically
only around 2 ~ 4 students attend each class.
What
type of lessons do you offer?
Myer Japan offers a variety of
lessons.
We offer both children and adult English lessons that cater to the
English
level of the student. Private lessons are offered for more intensive
one on one
English study or group lessons where you can enjoy learning English
with some
friends. Toddler lessons are for parents who want to submerse there 2
or 3 year
old child in English as early as possible. TOEIC and TOEFL courses are
held so
the students can prepare for their respective test. Home lessons allow
for a
more relaxed atmosphere for the students. Café lessons allow for
a nice
atmosphere where the student and the teacher can enjoy nice English
conversation. And telephone lessons/Skype lessons are offered for
the
slightly
more advanced student to hone their English ability as well as prepare
for the
more difficult tests such as the Japan Guide Test. For more in depth
information about classes we offer please click here.
What
curriculum do you offer for beginners?
At Myer Japan we do not strictly
follow an
English curriculum. After we have a pre-lesson with our potential
students we
work with the student themselves to decide how they would like their
English
lessons.
Can I
teach from home?
Yes. If you have a computer and a headset
as well as a Skype account, you may teach telephone English to students
anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own home. You may get a
Skype
account here.
