What type of lessons I should take?

Both group and private lessons have their advantages. We recommend taking private lessons to start, so you can get used to the teaching style at Sensei San and to the teachers voice, although it’s up to you. Also, it’s better for you to get used to the teacher so as to be able to teach you more effectively. When you’re in a group lesson, it’s often easier to hear a mistake made by another student & consequently, for the teachei to correct it. Alternatively, some students mix their lessons. ie: do some group lessons and some private lessons.

What’s the style of lessons?

At Sensei San, we believe that every student has different needs. Some students study to support their school English studies. Some may want to take a test like IELTS, TOEIC, or other tests as you require for a pay rise at work etc. Some students study English simply for a hobby or to better prepare themselves for overseas trips. Whatever your purpose, we can help you. If you’re not sure, then leave it to us to decide where you need assistance.
