It is more flexible than group classes in location, scheduling, and class level and content:
- Private tutoring sessions can take place at a student's home or office or another comfortable setting such as Starbucks.
- The student is free to reschedule sessions if a conflict arises with the regularly scheduled time.
- The level and content of the class is also entirely tailored to the student's ability and interests.
- Private tutoring sessions typically match one teacher to a student, although we do tutor multiple students (usually 2 and no more than 3) at the same time. This often happens when close friends of similar skill levels decide among themselves to be tutored together.
Taking A Customized Course
You may need to take a customized private course in order to concentrate on a specific area of language, eg. medical or law . However the most common reason for taking a customized course is a limited amount of time in which to learn the language: in this case you will progress more effectively attending a course alone, or in a small group with others who share the same objectives and language level as you. Have a look at KIRIN Courses to see what you might cover in a typical private course.
We have many students who commonly take our courses for these reasons : moving or investing overseas, travel, working with overseas colleagues, or speaking more fluently with a partner and their in-laws.

Pre-Course Preparation
Individual training requires an investment of your time and energy, and it's important we get things right the first time. One of the greatest benefits of individual training is that you can shape the subject-based content of the course. It is therefore important to spend some time prior to the course thinking about particular subject areas you'd like to cover. Your Needs Analysis and Level Test are two important documents that will help us to focus more precisely on your needs.
