Language centres in Tokyo

Hello!

I'm an English teacher living in Fuchu, Tokyo. I work 10- 6 Monday to Friday in Kawasaki and I'm finding it difficult finding weekend classes for learning Japanese for a reasonable price.

I'd prefer group classes focusing on the JLPT curriculum. If anyone knows of any classes, or international centres that offer these courses. Please let me know!

Thanks

Matt.

Regular Japanese language schools that offer the accredited courses tend to hold the classes on weekdays, Monday through Friday, 3 or more hours each day, as this is the number of hours required to fulfill the accreditation requirements. Some of them might run additional classes on the weekends too, though.

I have heard that Meguro language Center caters to people working - I do not have any direct experience with them, but you could give them a call to ask what they might have available.

Also, Kawasaki city has a fair number of non-Japanese residents.
You might try contacting their international association - at least it will be a starting point for your search?
