A Brief History

SORA was established in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2007, and since then, we have supported students of all ages from children to adults learning Japanese. In 2016, we have established a sister-school in Vancouver, Canada to offer our Japanese lessons to a wider audience.   

From Local to Global

Ever since the pandemic in 2020, we have transitioned our in-person services to an online platform where students are able to continue their Japanese studies from a more safe and convenient environment. 

We are fully committed to improving your language skills, and we hope to support your learning journey, wherever it may take you.

Japan is a country rich in culture and unique traditions. If you are interested in Japan / thinking of trying Japanese / are looking to continue where you left off, we are more than happy to help you progress on your journey to learning the Japanese language and the fascinating culture behind it.

Designated Instructors

Our primary mission is to provide the best learning experience for each and every student. By having one designated instructor that truly understands your skills, goals, and learning styles, we aim to make your learning journey as efficient, convenient, and effective as possible.

Tailored Learning Plans
From Kids to Seniors, we create a learning plan that best suits your needs, pace, and goals. At SORA, we highly value the art of human communication in Japanese that are often excluded from proficiency exams / other traditional language schools. Thus, we continue to support students of over 10 years that wish to master the language fluency beyond their initial goals.

Language Through Culture
We strongly believe that Japanese is best acquired through the cultural context and background of Japanese traditions. On top of the textbook concepts, we dive deeper into the fascinating culture of Japan which will give you a more thorough understanding of the context in which you use the language.
