Put Your Study Time Where It Can Help
It is easy to keep reviewing familiar material while the difficult sections wait for another day. Private JLPT preparation gives you a teacher to help identify weaknesses and work through them.
Simple Gaijin offers JLPT preparation for N5, N4, and N3. Lessons are adapted to your current Japanese and target level, with work on grammar, vocabulary, kanji, reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and JLPT test-taking strategy and study planning.
Begin With Your Actual Starting Point
Tell Mike which level you are considering, when you hope to take the test, and how you have studied so far. If you have previous results, mention the areas you want to improve.
Your target level is part of that conversation, not a reason to skip the foundations you still need. Mike will discuss the suitability of instruction for your goal before enrollment.
Work Through the Reason Behind an Answer
01
Grammar and Vocabulary
Examine how a structure or word works in context. Use lesson time for the distinctions that remain unclear after independent review.
02
Reading and Listening
Focus on understanding meaning across sentences and following information as it develops. Your lesson priorities can reflect the areas you find most demanding.
03
Test Preparation and Study Direction
Discuss difficult question types, pacing, and how you approach an answer. A more focused plan helps you decide what to practice between lessons instead of collecting another pile of materials.
Keep Exam Preparation and Conversation in Perspective
The JLPT assesses language knowledge, reading, and listening; it does not directly test speaking or writing. Preparing for it can be part of your Japanese study, while using the language in conversation requires its own practice.
If you also want to become more comfortable speaking, explore Japanese conversation lessons. For broader skill development, see the structured curriculum.
Private Support for a Specific Goal
Every regular lesson is a live, 60-minute session with Mike. You can ask questions directly and return to the concepts that need more attention.
See lesson rates and enrollment and share your target with Mike. A test date can guide preparation, but progress and exam results depend on your starting point, practice, and performance.
Simple Gaijin is an independent Japanese language instruction service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the organizations that administer the JLPT.
