My name is WANG QINYUE. Thanks to the guidance of my art teachers, I was able toenter Tama Art University. After studying for a year in the famous university preparatory
course, my dream has finally come true. I could not be happier.
All of the art teachers are seniors who graduated from famous art universities andhave a great deal of experience in teaching. They are also experts in entrance
examinations, so I can receive practical guidance and career advice with peace of mind.
Art classes are located at the school, so students can attend art classes as soon as
Japanese classes are over, or they can study on their own when they have time. It is very
convenient because I can work whenever I want.
The art teachers are enthusiastic and can give you tips on how to take the exam ineasy-to-understand language. If I have any problems, I can always consult with theteachers, which is very reassuring because I don't have to worry alone.
In addition, not only international students but also Japanese junior high and highschool students participate in art classes. It is very fun because I can make friends withJapanese students and study together with them.
Everyone, join the art course to make your dreams come true!

My name is CAI FENGSHENG, I am an international student from Shanghai, China, currentlyattending graduate school at Tama Art University. I am an international student fromShanghai, China, currently attending the graduate school of Tama Art University, and a
graduate of MANABI Language School. The relationship between teachers and students isvery good. In class, our teachers are very humorous and teach us what we need to know. The
atmosphere in the classes is very bright and the students actively participate in the classes.
Even after class, the teachers are like friends, talking with students and helping them withany questions they have about the class or about their higher education.
My homeroom teacher checked all of my application materials and personal documents to
help me achieve my goal of getting into graduate school. They also proofread my portfolio
repeatedly for mistakes, etc. They patiently guided me to express myself in my own words asmuch as possible. They also gave me many practice interviews.
It was thanks to their guidance that I was able to pass the exam. I am really grateful to them.
Thank you so much!
