New intake: Online Japanese JLPT N4 Course is 36% off for this group

Language instructors in Nepal,
teaching live online.

SajiloBhasa instructors teach live online classes to learners anywhere in Nepal, not only in Kathmandu. Japanese is what we teach today, from JLPT N5 upward, in morning, daytime and evening shifts. Each profile below shows the levels that instructor teaches, how long they have taught, and the courses they lead.

Japanese instructors

Why your instructor no longer has to be nearby

Almost every language institute in Nepal teaches in a room, and almost every one of those rooms is in Kathmandu or another large city. For a long time that meant your choice of Japanese teacher was whoever happened to teach within travelling distance, and for most of the country that was nobody at all.

A live online class removes the constraint without removing the teacher. A scheduled hour, an instructor who can see you and correct you, and a small group at roughly your level, joined from Pokhara, Butwal, Biratnagar, Dharan, Nepalgunj or a village with a stable connection. The teaching does not change. The travel does.

It also means an instructor can run more than one cohort a day, which is why classes sit in morning, daytime and evening shifts rather than at whatever hour a classroom happens to be free.

The longer version of this argument sets out what it costs to study in the city, and what an online cohort replaces.

Looking for a Korean, French or Spanish instructor in Nepal?

Not yet, and we would rather say so than take your booking. Japanese is the only language we teach today. The rest are being prepared, and a language appears here with an instructor behind it or not at all.

We hire by language and level rather than by job title, so a Japanese teacher job, a Japanese language instructor vacancy and a Korean, French or Spanish teaching post are all the same application here. Classes are taught live online, which means you do not have to be in Kathmandu, or in Nepal, to take a cohort.

The work is one cohort at a time: a small group who start together and meet you at the same hour every week until the level is finished, taught on Zoom or Google Meet against a published syllabus rather than a blank page. Nothing is recorded for a library, so the teaching hour is the whole of the commitment.

Instructors are paid per cohort, and we quote the rate in our first reply rather than at the end of a three-stage process. What the work is, what it pays and who we are looking for is set out at length on the careers page, without a single use of the word competitive.

Questions about instructors

Who is the best Japanese instructor in Nepal?

There is no single answer, and anybody claiming the title is marketing rather than teaching. Judge an instructor on whether it is the same person every week, how small the group is, how often learners are made to speak, and which JLPT level and sitting the class is aimed at. Then sit in on a lesson before paying.

Will I have the same instructor every week?

At SajiloBhasa, yes: one instructor takes a cohort from the first lesson to the last. Ask this of anywhere you are considering, because many institutes rotate teachers between cohorts, which means nobody ever knows where you personally are stuck. Treat a vague answer as a no.

How many learners are in a class?

Group size is what decides whether you speak. Our cohorts are kept small enough that everybody is asked something every lesson. In a room of thirty the confident three answer and the rest attend, and you can pay the same fee for either.

How do I find a Japanese instructor in Nepal if I live outside Kathmandu?

Learn online. A live online class carries the same instructor, the same small group and the same weekly hour to any district with a stable connection, so your choice of teacher is no longer limited to whoever teaches in your town. The only in-person step is the JLPT itself, which is sat in Kathmandu.

Which exam and which sitting is a class aimed at?

Ask this before you pay anyone. A class with a date attached to it is a plan; a class without one is a subscription. For Japanese that means a named JLPT level and either the July or the December paper, with registration closing months ahead of it.

Can I meet the instructor before enrolling?

Yes. Every learner can join a live class free before paying anything, with the instructor who would teach their cohort. One hour shows you the group size, how much students actually speak, and whether the teacher can answer a question that was not in the plan. Any instructor worth their fee will allow it.

Do you have a Korean, French or Spanish instructor in Nepal?

Not yet. Japanese is the only language SajiloBhasa teaches today, and Korean, French and Spanish are being prepared rather than running. We would rather say that plainly than take a booking for a cohort that does not exist. You can register interest and we will write to you when a language opens.

Are online Japanese instructors as good as classroom teachers in Kathmandu?

On the things that decide whether you pass, yes: the same live teaching, the same small group, the same syllabus and the same weekly hour. What changes is that you attend more consistently, because no commute sits between you and the class. A recorded video course is a different product and should not be compared to either.
