Katharine (USA) writes...
“These classes were a helpful, affordable and convenient complement to my JLPT preparation and I believe they were an important factor in helping me to pass the N3.”
When I decided to attempt the JLPT N3, I took weekly JLPT prep classes at JOI for the months leading up to the test.
These classes not only allowed me to practice and test myself on a lot of the grammar, vocabulary and kanji for the test level, but also to get ample exposure to the type of questions I could expect on the test, all with feedback from teachers when I got something wrong or there was something I didn’t understand.
I would recommend them to anyone preparing to take the JLPT. Many thanks to the patient, caring teachers at JOI!
JOI also recommends these all-year-round N3 classes !
All JOI's N3 FlexLesson classes including the Low Intermediate level classes are effective for improving your Japanese general skills.

To improve on Kanji and vocabulary...Try JLPT N3 Kanji and Vocabulary.
To improve conversation skills .... Try Low Intermediate FlexLessons.
