Meet Arul Prakash — N1-Certified Founder & Teacher at Mozhippattru

Short answer: classes at Mozhippattru are personally led by Arul Prakash, the founder and teacher — JLPT N1-certified (2022) with 4 years as a Japanese interpreter at Fujitsu, Toyota and Sango. He runs this focused, small institute himself and teaches every batch, so you learn Japanese in Tamil directly from someone who has cleared the highest JLPT level and used Japanese professionally.

When you choose a Japanese school, the single biggest factor is who actually teaches you. At many large institutes you never quite know — teachers rotate and batches are big. At Mozhippattru (மொழிப்பற்று), the answer is simple and personal: you learn from the founder himself.

Who is Arul Prakash?

Arul Prakash is the founder of Mozhippattru and the teacher who personally leads its classes. He is JLPT N1-certified — the highest of the five JLPT levels, awarded in 2022 — and spent four years working as a Japanese interpreter for major companies including Fujitsu, Toyota and Sango. He teaches Japanese in Tamil, English and Japanese, so beginners understand every concept in the language they think in.

His JLPT journey — cleared N1 largely through self-study

Arul Prakash cleared N2 and N1 largely through self-study, which shapes the way he teaches. Because he has personally walked the path from beginner to N1, he knows exactly where learners struggle, what shortcuts help, and how to keep a beginner motivated. He teaches from experience, not just a textbook.

Real industry experience, not only exams

Passing N1 proves language ability; working as an interpreter proves you can use it under pressure, live, with real people on real topics. During his four years interpreting for Fujitsu, Toyota and Sango, Arul Prakash used Japanese in meetings, on factory floors and in day-to-day business. That experience means his lessons focus on communication you can actually use — speaking, listening and workplace reality — not just clearing a paper.

Why he started a small, focused institute

Mozhippattru is deliberately a small, focused school, not a large chain — and that is by design. It lets Arul Prakash:

• Teach every batch himself, so you always learn from an N1-certified teacher, never a rotating substitute.
• Keep batches small, giving each student real attention and speaking time.
• Explain everything in Tamil, so no doubt is left unclear.
• Stay affordable, because the fee goes into teaching, not big-brand marketing.

Teaching Japanese in Tamil — the mission

Arul Prakash founded Mozhippattru (the name means "love for language") to make Japanese genuinely accessible to Tamil speakers — including students from Tamil-medium schools, working people and complete beginners. By teaching grammar in Tamil first and reinforcing it in Japanese, he removes the English-in-between barrier that slows so many learners down. Through his initiative அண்ணனின் பரிசு (The Elder Brother's Gift), he also offers free tuition to those carrying a heavier share of life's burden.

What this means for you as a student

• You learn from a teacher who has actually cleared N1 and used Japanese professionally.
• You get the same teacher throughout — continuity that matters hugely in language learning.
• Your doubts are answered in Tamil, clearly and patiently.
• Lessons are grounded in real-world communication, from someone who has done the job.
