Japanese Lessons Orlando — Certified Native Teachers, Online Now
Nihon GO! runs the UK’s only Japanese school where 100% of teachers are government-certified — and we’re exploring Florida as our next home, starting with Orlando. One-to-one online lessons are open today with EST-friendly scheduling. Join the waitlist and help shape our first US location.
London. Manchester. Florida Next?
We built and run Japanese schools in London and Manchester — real classrooms, real curriculum, the same certified teachers you’ll learn with online. Now we’re exploring Orlando for our first US school, and the waitlist decides what we open first.
London
Our flagship school in the heart of London. In-person and online lessons, JLPT preparation, and business Japanese with certified native teachers.
Manchester
Our second school, in Manchester city centre. The same vetted, government-certified teaching team and curriculum as London.
Florida
Online lessons are open across Florida today, with Orlando as the leading candidate for our first in-person US school. Join the waitlist to get first access when we open.
Why Orlando?
Because in this city, Japanese isn’t a distant hobby — it shows up in your work, your community, and your travel plans.
Japanese Is a Work Skill Here
Orlando’s hospitality and tourism industry welcomes Japanese guests year-round. If you work in hotels, attractions, dining, or guest services, even conversational Japanese sets you apart — and business Japanese opens doors with Japanese partners and employers.
One of America’s Biggest Anime & Gaming Scenes
Central Florida hosts some of the largest anime, gaming, and pop-culture conventions in the US, and the community behind them is huge. If anime or games sparked your interest in Japanese, you’re far from alone here — and we teach the Japanese you actually want to use.
Learners at Every Level, Few Real Teachers
Between major universities, a fast-growing population, and thousands of residents planning trips to Japan every year, Orlando is full of Japanese learners — but certified, professional Japanese teachers are hard to find locally. That’s the gap we’re here to close.
That’s why we’re starting online first — so we can build Nihon GO!’s first US school together with the local community, shaped by what Orlando learners actually want.
What Would You Like to Learn?
Every course is one-to-one with a certified native teacher, tailored to your goal. Tell us which track interests you on the waitlist — it directly shapes what we open first in Orlando.
JLPT Preparation
Structured prep for every level from N5 to N1 with exam specialists. Includes our online JLPT mock test series with full explanations, plus help planning registration for your nearest US test site.
Anime, Games & Pop Culture
Learn the Japanese you actually hear in anime, games, and music — real grammar and vocabulary taught through the media you love, from absolute beginner upward.
Business Japanese
Keigo, professional communication, and etiquette for people working with Japanese companies, partners, or guests — including hospitality and tourism roles across Central Florida.
Kids & Teens
Patient, structured lessons for young learners and heritage speakers, taught by certified teachers with experience teaching children — not casual conversation partners.
Travel & Everyday Japanese
Planning a trip to Japan? Build practical speaking and listening skills for travel, food, and daily conversation — useful from your very first lesson.

Takes about 30 seconds. No payment, no commitment. Waitlist members get priority booking for online lessons now, first access when in-person classes open, and an invitation to our free monthly info session.
Monthly Orlando Info Session

A Proven School, Not a Tutor Marketplace
Unlike marketplace platforms where anyone can list themselves as a tutor, every Nihon GO! teacher is vetted and professionally qualified.
Certified, Not Crowdsourced
Every teacher holds official certification from Japan’s Ministry of Culture with 420+ hours of formal pedagogical training. Only around 1% of teacher applicants meet our standards.
A Working Model, Twice Over
We built and run Japanese schools in London and Manchester — real classrooms, real curriculum, rated 5.0 by our students. Orlando is our third city, not our first experiment.
EST-Friendly Online Lessons
Our teachers schedule around Orlando time, with weekday and weekend slots that work for Eastern Time. Same certified teachers, same curriculum as our UK schools.
Japanese Lessons in Orlando — FAQ
Quick answers for Orlando learners.
Where can I learn Japanese in Orlando?
You can learn Japanese in Orlando through university programs, community classes, or private tutors. Nihon GO! offers a different option: one-to-one online lessons with government-certified native Japanese teachers, scheduled for Eastern Time, with an in-person Orlando location planned. Join the waitlist to be first to know when in-person classes open.
Are online lessons available now?
Yes. Online private lessons with our certified teachers are open to Orlando learners today. Lessons are 55 minutes, one-to-one, over Zoom, with a personalised curriculum for your level and goal.
Why is Nihon GO! coming to Orlando?
Because Orlando is full of Japanese learners with real reasons to learn — hospitality and tourism professionals who work with Japanese guests, one of America’s biggest anime and gaming communities, university students, and residents planning trips to Japan — yet certified, professional Japanese teachers are hard to find locally. We’re starting online first and building our first US school together with the Orlando community.
When will the in-person school open?
We’re exploring our first US location in Orlando now. The waitlist directly shapes the decision — which courses we run first and the schedule. Waitlist members get first access to in-person places before public opening.
Do you offer JLPT preparation in Orlando?
Yes. We prepare students for every JLPT level from N5 to N1, taught by teachers who specialise in the exam. Students also get access to our online JLPT mock test series with detailed explanations, and we help you plan registration for your nearest US test site.
Are your teachers really certified?
Yes. Every Nihon GO! teacher holds official certification recognised by Japan’s Ministry of Culture, with 420+ hours of formal training in teaching Japanese as a foreign language. All teachers are native speakers with professional experience.
Can my child learn Japanese with Nihon GO!?
Yes. We teach kids, teens, and heritage speakers with certified teachers experienced in teaching young learners. Tell us your child’s age and background on the waitlist form and we will recommend the right format.
How much do Japanese lessons cost?
Online private lessons for US students are priced in line with our UK schools, where a 4-lesson pack works out to about $38 per 55-minute lesson and first-time students get a discounted trial lesson. Final US pricing will be confirmed to waitlist members first.
