Our curriculum has proven to be very effective and shows very fast results for most students.
A handful of lessons for jr. high school, high school, and adults students are also available in the evenings.
On November 6th, 2021, we have opened the 2 locations in Tokyo, and they are growing rapidly.

Not only that, but also we have been getting amazing feedback from parents after their kids' lessons,
Here are some;
"My daughter is only four years old, but after a few lessons she started asking me "How are you?" and counting numbers up to 100 at home"
By Kana's mom
"My son used to not respond at all when I spoke to him in English. Now, he tries to talk to me in English and when he doesn't understand something, he asks me "What's that in English?"
By Yuuto's mom
"My son hated every English lesson I took him to as a trial, and he never liked it. However he enjoys Nico Kids English lessons, so I am extremely happy"
By Hayato's mom
