"Life changing!"

Shawn Nikkolai Tan

Although I studied the basics (greetings, Hiragana, and Katana) before going to Japan as a student, I essentially had zero knowledge in the Japanese language. So my family, friends, and including myself find it amazing that within a short period of time (less than a year) I can already follow basic daily conversations with native Japanese people. If you are serious about learning Japanese and get practical results as fast as possible then I highly recommend Tochigi International Education Institute.

Thank you for your review! We are really glad to hear from you!

"Awesome experience!!!"

John

TIEI is one of the strictest Japanese school in Japan. And here I think I learned a lot not only Nihongo but also the way of life here in Japan. Now I am currently working in Japan and considering myself as a successful person. Thank you very much TIEI for that wondrous opportunity and teachings!!!

I am looking forward to see TIEI become a big school in the future!
