Coaching and Pricing
A Clear Plan for Real Progress
Our monthly coaching program gives students the structure, targeted practice, and personalized feedback they need to strengthen their EIKEN writing and speaking skills. Every lesson builds on the last, helping students understand their weaknesses, develop effective strategies, and make steady progress toward their next goal.
OUR APPROACH
How the Coaching Works
One-to-one coaching built around the way each student thinks and learns.
1. One-to-One Coaching
Lessons respond to each student’s goals, strengths, and areas for improvement.
2. Individual Feedback
We identify what is working, what needs improvement, and what to practice next.
3. Learning Through Dialogue
Questions help students explain their thinking, examine alternatives, and understand why an answer works.
We Don’t Stop at the Correct Answer.
Getting an answer right is only part of learning. We help students understand why an answer works, recognize the evidence behind it, and make better decisions independently.
The Questions We Ask
“Why did you choose this answer?”
Students practice explaining their reasoning instead of relying on guesswork or memorized responses.
“Which part of the text supports your answer?”
Students learn to connect their conclusions to evidence and explain how they reached them.
“Why is the other answer less suitable?”
Students compare alternatives, examine their assumptions, and develop more precise judgment.
The Results
Improve critical thinking and analysis skills
Learn to quickly identify relevant evidence
Compare and efficiently choose the best answer
Express ideas with much greater clarity and confidence

Beyond the Next Grade
Our goal is to help every student build the skills and confidence they need to succeed at their next level of English study — and to make learning English a more rewarding and enjoyable experience along the way.
We want students not only to pass their next EIKEN grade, but to become more capable, independent, and confident users of English.
