Eikaiwa Sharing
An NTV news program reports on a new type of English conversation class aimed at thrifty customers:
Aim, an Eikaiwa school in Kansai, is offering a special discount plan. Instead of following the traditional method of sending their children to a classroom owned by the Eikaiwa chain, apartment residents can get together and host English conversation lessons inside a shared room in their building.
While other Eikaiwa chains typically charge students nearly 10,000 yen a month, this plan costs several thousand yen less. Since these lessons can be so close to home, customers also don’t have to worry about paying transportation fees or worrying about the safety of their children traveling to and from English lessons.

There are also already companies that do this in Tokyo…
Not new … I did this for some years in my neck of the woods in Tokyo.
