Hey r/movingtojapan community, I'm new here!
I'm planning my move to Japan in 2026 and weighing my options between TLS (Toyo Language School) and Human Academy. If you've attended either school or know someone who has, I'd love to hear your insights on teaching quality, course structure, tuition costs, and overall vibe.
I'm leaning toward TLS, but I've come across some reports that their administrative support might not be the best when handling bureaucratic issues.
I'm looking for a school with flexible class schedules that allow me to work part-time (baito) to help finance my stay. My plan is to study for two years, progressing from JLPT N5 to N2 (or even N1). While seeking job opportunities that could help transition my visa to a working visa. My main focus is on mastering Japanese and transitioning my career from Product Owner to Developer.
Any real-world experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input!
