CORPORATE ENGLISH TRAINING · SINCE 1995
Your own English teacher, working in your office.
ESP Japan places experienced native English teachers from the US and Canada on-site at Japanese companies. Beyond lessons, they help with emails, documents and presentations — working alongside your team every day.

THE TOTAL ESP PROGRAM
Lessons + Contact Time + a teacher in your office.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
We quote based on the number of learners, lesson hours, and the number and location of sites. Contact us for a free estimate.
What if learners miss class for meetings or business trips?
Teachers confirm availability every morning and fill empty slots with make-up lessons — no extra work for your staff.
Our staff have very different English levels. Is that a problem?
No. A level check before starting places each learner in the right class and course, from beginner to advanced.
Can you cover several locations?
Yes. We provide one consistent program across sites in the Kanto region, mainly Kanagawa, and learners can transfer between them. Sites outside Kanto are possible depending on lesson volume.
