FAQ
- Q. Can my child prepare for Japanese junior-high exams from Malaysia?
- A. Two common paths: (1) take online classes from Tokyo's major exam-prep chains (SAPIX, Waseda Academy, Nichinoken), or (2) attend a local KL Japanese-style cram school offering individual tuition with junior-high prep. Many families combine 1-on-1 with seasonal camps to catch up with group classes.
- Q. Kumon or Gakken — which one?
- A. Kumon emphasizes drill-based fluency; Gakken values understanding and parent-child collaboration. Malaysia has more Kumon branches and offers math, language arts, and English in a single center.
- Q. Is online tutoring enough?
- A. Zoom-based 1-on-1 with experienced Japanese exam-prep tutors is high-quality and a go-to choice for families unable to fly home during the exam season. Younger children often benefit more from in-person sessions to build study habits.
