* If you seek private instruction in specialized areas (such as terms used in a technical field), we may not be able to accommodate you with PrivateSilver lessons. Please contact us to discuss your needs first.
** Depending on class content, many JOI teachers choose to send follow-up emails after their FlexLessons and PrivateSilver classes; however, this service is guaranteed only with PrivateGold Lessons.

With PrivateGold lessons, you agree to take Japanese lessons regularly and consistently in the exclusive time slots requested by and assigned to you, but you are free to take additional lessons at any time your teacher offers a private lesson.
