Kaplan's GMAT® courses focuses on drastically raising your GMAT® score. Additionally, our classes improve our students' academic skills, English proficiency, and the critical thinking skills required for business schools and to be successful managing executives.
Kaplan offers four classroom courses: GMAT® Perfect, GMAT® Verbal Plus, Super GMAT®, and AWA Practice. All courses are designed not only to improve scores, but also to improve English abilities. For this reason, lessons are conducted entirely in English.
All Kaplan GMAT® lecturers are native English speakers with real-world business experience. Classes are small to encourage active participation. Our GMAT® classes have an international atmosphere: students from America and other foreign countries residing in Japan gather to learn GMAT® techniques. When studying in Kaplan's GMAT® class, you will find yourself already in an American or European business school-like atmosphere.
