Professional Japanese Training for Adults
OWL provides personalized one-on-one Japanese training for intermediate and advanced learners who seek structured, measurable progress.
Each private lesson is carefully designed around the individual student. Instruction is tailored to your goals, pace, and areas of growth. Homework is assigned with detailed feedback, and independent study is supported between sessions to ensure steady advancement each term.
Sessions are conducted in a focused yet comfortable atmosphere. Through thoughtfully selected topics and guided discussion, students develop natural, precise expression while building confidence in real communication.
Training is delivered in a private, professional, and fully confidential setting.
For learners who value structure, discretion, and meaningful results.
In addition to private training, OWL offers small, focused group reading courses for beginner and intermediate learners who wish to strengthen comprehension skills in a structured environment.

Fukutarō
Official Mascot & Voice of OWL
Fukutarō is more than just a cute owl — he’s the wise (and sometimes witty) voice of OWL Japanese Lessons. As our official mascot and messenger, he helps spread the word about classes, events, and tips for learning Japanese.
You’ll often spot Fukutarō on Facebook, where he shares announcements, study encouragement, and a few feathery jokes.
He may not lead lessons, but his wisdom and presence help guide our students every step of the way. Symbol of wisdom. Messenger of OWL. Your friendly study companion.
