JLPT prep in Vancouver, from N5 to N2
One course for each JLPT level: daily self-study at your own pace, a live session (up to 25 min) with your teacher every week, then intensive exam prep (2 hours a week, up to 12 students) in the 3 months before your JLPT. CA$50 a month for our first 100 students, kept as long as you stay (regular CA$100). Self-study opens Thursday, November 12, free until then.
Pick your level
| Course | Takes you | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | zero → N5 | For complete beginners. Reading, core grammar, and everyday conversation from zero. |
| Beginner | N5 → N4 | Past N5. Deeper grammar, more kanji, and the confidence to hold real conversations. |
| Intermediate | N4 → N3 | Past N4. The bridge to real fluency — complex grammar, reading, and natural speech. |
| Advanced | N3 → N2 | Past N3. Advanced grammar, reading and natural speech, aimed at the N2. |

How the course works
- Every weekA live session with your teacherOn Google Meet, in a small group: bring your questions and what you got stuck on, and practise together.
- Every dayA short lesson in the JP Bridge appGrammar, vocabulary and kanji for that day, with practice that tells you straight away when you've got it right. The whole course is divided by the days left to your exam, so you always know if you're on track.
- Last 3 monthsExam prep with your teacherA 2-hour class each week on real exam-style questions, with the teacher explaining the answers and the traps.
- Exam dayPaced to the July or December JLPTChoose the sitting you're aiming for when you sign up. If you fall behind, we tell you early, and you can move to the next sitting instead of rushing.
Why people in Vancouver take the JLPT
Japan now asks for Japanese on several visas: N5 (or 150 hours of study) to enrol in a language school, and N2 for many work visas. Our guide to the new visa rules explains what changed and how long each step takes. Others take it for work, university, or simply to measure their progress.
Prefer a classroom?
We also run small in-person conversation groups at 320 Granville Street, Suite 1430, steps from Waterfront Station, with the first class free. Many students combine the two: the online course for the exam, the classroom for speaking.
