Varsity Tutors is the only name you need to know if you are searching for an Oklahoma City Japanese course. More than 127,000,000 people speak Japanese worldwide, but they are almost exclusively located on the Japanese archipelago. Little is known of how the language came into being, and efforts to relate it to other languages have had mixed results thus far.
There are myriad reasons why you might want to take a formal Oklahoma City Japanese class. Local high schools such as Westmoore High School and U.S. Grant High School may offer Japanese as an option for students to fulfill their foreign language graduation requirement. Similarly, local colleges like the University of Oklahoma offer Japanese as part of several programs. Some people study Japanese in preparation for an upcoming trip to Japan, and others simply love the challenge of studying a new language. Keep reading to learn more about how we can help you reach for your goals.
What skills can I go over in an Oklahoma City Japanese course?
The biggest benefit of taking an Oklahoma City Japanese class is having a set amount of time set aside each week to practice your Japanese language skills. Hearing and speaking a foreign language is necessary in order to build familiarity with it, and your instructor can help you do exactly this. If you're just starting to study Japanese, your instructor can be patient with you as you try to master the basics. If you're a more experienced student of Japanese, your instructor might conduct entire lessons in Japanese to provide a truly immersive study environment.
Working with an expert teacher can also help you build your written communication skills. If you aren't already doing so, your instructor can teach you how to sketch an outline to help you organize your thoughts and remember important vocabulary words you'll need to use. When you're finished, your instructor can provide constructive criticism on your work to let you know what you did well and where you might be able to improve.
You might also want to review the fundamentals of Japanese grammar in your class. For example, Japanese nouns do not have a grammatical number, gender, or take articles in everyday usage. If the number is especially important within a particular context, a quantity might be specified with a counter word or via a rare suffix. Also, Japanese verbs are conjugated to show tense just like their English counterparts, but there are only two options: past and non-past (which covers English present and future tenses). If you're having a hard time with all of the differences between Japanese and English, you might study memorization tricks to make everything easier to keep track of.
How will my Oklahoma City Japanese course be structured?
Every course we offer involves a knowledgeable teacher meeting with their students over an exclusive live virtual platform. You can see and hear your classmates as if you were all in the same room, providing the benefits of taking a physical class without the logistical headache of getting there. If you have any questions for your teacher, all you need to do is raise your hand.
You can also interact with your peers in real time, providing an opportunity to study in a collaborative learning environment that may help deepen your comprehension of the language. For instance, hearing your classmates speak Japanese can expose you to a variety of different accents and dialects to more accurately simulate being in Shinjuku. One of your new friends can also try to help you out if you feel stuck, as a peer's explanation might be more relatable for you than your teacher's. Studying in a group setting allows you to divide the cost with multiple students, making formal instruction more affordable than you might think. You also have the right to arrange private study time with your instructor if you feel like you need personalized attention in order to grasp something.
We also try to make attending a course as easy as possible. We offer multiple course sessions concurrently, including two-week and four-week options so that it's easier to find a fit for your busy schedule. We also start new courses every month, so you never need to wait too long to get started.

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes knowledge, when an unfamiliar idea becomes familiar, and the creative ability such moments foster. My aim as a...

By far one of the most rewarding milestones of tutoring is the moment you witness the student satisfied with the achievements you have helped them accomplish. Tutoring is a collaborative process whereby tutor and student work towards a common goal of academic success and achievement. I enjoy...

During my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies that...
