I`ve been asked to find out how much people expect to pay for an English school in Japan.

So, do you study in Japan? How much do you pay? Is there a difference between cheap and expensive schools?

Thanks for your help M

Oh, I`ve just posted a message about schools in japan in the "Learning English" section.

Please read and help me find out the answers!

I run an English school in Nagano, Japan. Nagano is fairly rural and the need in the work place to use English is low compared to Tokyo or other areas. To the point, most English schools in the area charge on average 2,000-3,000 yen a lesson at group rates (one class a week) Private classes usually run 3 to 4 times the group rate. Bigger companies tend to charge up-front fees as well as charges for materials. Start up can be expensive depending on where you go but 15,000 yen a month for a group lesson is robbery.

I hope that helps.
