In addition to selling English learning books, our team also operates BumbleB English, an English organization that offers online lessons and small-group classes.

These lessons are designed to support students who may want additional help with areas such as:

• Eiken interview preparation

• Essay writing and speaking practice

• Improving English conversation confidence

We offer both single lessons and lesson packages depending on the student’s needs.

Many of the books in our store are the same materials used in our lessons.

Many students feel nervous about the Eiken speaking interview (二次試験), especially if they have not practiced speaking English with another person before.

Practicing interview questions with a teacher can help students become more comfortable answering questions, organizing their thoughts, and speaking clearly under time pressure.

Through our BumbleB English program, we offer optional online practice lessons where students can rehearse common Eiken interview questions and receive feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and how to express their ideas confidently.

These lessons are designed as short preparation sessions, and students can book a single lesson or a small lesson package depending on their needs.

Many students find that even one or two practice interviews greatly improves their confidence before the test.

If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us.

Not yet. But we plan on rolling out these services in the near future.
