What Our Students Say About Valiant. At Valiant Language School in Tokyo, we strive to put all our student's needs first. Over the years we have had the honor of teaching a wide range of professionals working in Japan and help ambitious students achieve their goals. Here is just a short list of testimonials from actual Valiant students who have studied Japanese with us.
"I took classes for a year at Valiant school and it greatly helped me improve my japanese. It was a great experience with the different teachers I had over the year, following the Minna no Nihongo books. I will miss my classes there with my language group. I definitely recommend Rinko sensei, her classes are really fun and the language method helped me improve my japanese speaking skills. Merci beaucoup Valiant school.!"
"Rinko is great. She is funny and always makes sure you understand the material. She gives homework to keep you focused on leaning japanese. I highly recommend Rinko sensei!"
"Good teacher that makes our learning experience fun, no pressure. Because we are working so we really value the efficiency in her class."
"I studied intermediate Japanese at Valiant for three months and it was an excellent experience. The school is cozy, the management are very supportive and professional, and my instructor was both fun and engaging. The school itself is also close to many interesting spots in Roppongi. I would definitely recommend this school to a friend."
"A really good school with very positive teachers and a great and practical learning environment. The school has both western and eastern nationalities, and manage to accommodate yours and others students level and wishes. English level of teachers is very good! - Will miss my classes here. I would definitely go back anytime! My best recommendations."
"I really enjoyed learning Japanese with Valiant. The Valiant team are really helpful and supportive. If I had stayed in Japan I would still be taking lessons with them. The Valiant school team were really welcoming and the lessons were good value for money."
"All teachers are experienced teachers and instruct students with passions. In the class, teachers sometimes use fluent and simple English to clearly clarify the meaning of Japanese words and sentences, won't just teach classes all by Japanese which new foreign students who just coming to Japan can't understand at all. Valiant's teachers use adaptable and simple English as a bridge to let students "jump into" Japanese without fear. But they also didn't use too much English to interfere students thinking and answering questions by Japanese. In the Ropongi, there is a so good language school. It's small, but it is so good for freshmen in Japan."
"Fantastic school located near Roppongi and Nishi Azabu. As I was new to Japan, settling in was initially difficult. However Miwa san, the Managing Director was very helpful in providing Japan survival tips, thanks Miwa san! The school offers private lessons and group lessons. Having taken private lessons with most of the teachers, I found the teachers to be very friendly, professional, and a joy to learn from. They also organises events like Christmas Dinners, which are useful if you'd like to meet like minded students and make friends. All round, a very enjoyable experience. Thanks Valiant!"
"I had both private and group lessons at Valiant. In 1.5 years I reached intermediate level (currently studying for the JLPT N3 level), starting with one private lesson per week for the first nine months, and then added an extra weekly group lesson. I followed the Minna no Nihongo method. Many other books were also used during the lessons (for practicing either conversation, kanji, reading texts, preparing for JLPT exams, etc.). I thought this was a great way to learn Japanese."
"For me Japanese is a nice-to-have since I do not really need it at work, but I am happy that I can now roughly understand most conversations and television programmes for example and that I can manage things at a restaurant, hotel, etc.. If I would have put in some more effort at home - and would have taken more lessons per week - I would have been even further I guess :-)"
"I find the school very convenient for people staying in central Tokyo. The staffs are very polite and helpful to the students. We found that the language programs here to be flexible in terms of fees and hours."
