Canalis
Canalis takes its name from the Latin word for canal. We develop and run it ourselves. Just as a canal carries water, Canalis carries lessons to families who have no cram school nearby or who find tuition fees a heavy burden.
When a company offers Canalis as an employee benefit, employees’ families can use the video lessons at 60% of the list price (80% for Pitamana, the online home-tutoring service). Companies can offer it at no cost to themselves. Compared with three years of junior high school cram-school fees (about ¥2.3 million for one-on-one tutoring and about ¥1.7 million for group classes), a family can save about ¥1.5 million.
Four benefits for employees
Lower price as a benefit
Families use video lessons at 60% of the list price. We want to narrow gaps in learning opportunities caused by where a family lives or what it can afford.
No driving to class
Children study at home, so parents do not need to drive them to and from a school.
Lessons by experienced instructors
Students learn from instructors with long teaching careers.
Study in spare moments
Students can fit lessons in between club activities and other commitments, at their own pace.
