Japanese online for university in Japan
For Japanese-taught programmes, universities in Japan look at the EJU — the admission exam for international students — and often at the JLPT. We prepare you for both and match you with a teacher for your level and timeline.
Tell us the language, your level and your goal — we will match a tutor and a format and give you the price.
JapanLanguage requirements for admission
Each university and programme sets its own requirements. We check them against your list before preparation starts.
The EJU is JASSO's exam for international applicants to Japanese universities, held twice a year — June and November — in Japan and abroad; the university decides which subjects you sit.
SourceThe Japanese as a Foreign Language test is given only in Japanese; the other subjects can be taken in Japanese or English.
SourceEJU scores stay valid for two years, so a university can consider results from any of the last four sessions.

From your request to the first lesson in four steps
Request and introduction
We talk through your goal — an exam, admission, work or a move — and a schedule that suits you.
Level test and choosing a tutor
We find your starting level (or zero) and match a tutor — a native speaker or a Russian-speaking teacher — to your goal and pace.
First lesson
You meet your tutor and try the format; we adjust the plan if needed.
Regular lessons and progress
Check-ins and feedback after every block — you see real progress, not a feeling.
Frequently asked questions
Which matters more for admission — the EJU or the JLPT?
For Japanese-taught programmes many universities require the EJU, and often the JLPT as well. Each university publishes its own requirement — we check it against your list.
Can I study in Japan without Japanese?
Yes, on English-taught programmes such as PEAK at the University of Tokyo, where the university tests your English rather than your Japanese.
How do the lessons work?
Online, one-to-one or in a mini-group. In the first lesson the teacher assesses your level and plans the route to the exam you need. We match you with a native or Russian-speaking teacher to suit your goal and timeline.
