Bilingual Consultancy • U.S. – Japan
Study in the U.S. Support
Bilingual support for students and individuals pursuing education in the United States — before, during, and after arrival.
Studying in the United States is an exciting but complex journey. From choosing the right school to settling into daily life, there are countless decisions, documents, and cultural adjustments along the way — all in a second language.
Office20 provides personalized bilingual support for Japanese students and individuals at every stage of their U.S. study experience — whether you are a high school student, a university student, an adult attending a language school, or a parent supporting someone from Japan. Every situation is different, and every service we offer is tailored to your specific needs.
Who This Service Is For
Students
High school students, university students, and adults attending language schools or professional programs who are navigating U.S. education independently.
Parents & Families in Japan
Parents who want to support their child studying abroad but cannot accompany them or communicate directly with U.S. schools in English.
Any School, Any Level

Our Approach
There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to studying abroad. A 16-year-old heading to a U.S. boarding school has very different needs from an adult enrolling in a professional development program. We listen first, then build a support plan that fits your specific situation.
All services are delivered bilingually in Japanese and English. Whether you are communicating with us from Japan or already in the U.S., we are here to help you navigate with confidence and clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help with any type of school?
Yes. We support students attending language schools, high schools, community colleges, universities, graduate programs, and professional development courses. The type of school does not matter — we adapt to your needs.
My child is already in the U.S. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Many of our clients reach out after arriving in the U.S. We can assist with document translation, school communication, settling-in support, and ongoing bilingual liaison services at any stage.
I am a parent in Japan. Can I contact you directly?
Yes. We work closely with parents in Japan who want to stay informed and involved in their child’s U.S. school experience. We can serve as your bilingual contact on the ground, keeping you updated and advocating on your behalf.
How does pricing work?
Because every situation is different, we do not offer fixed packages. We start with a consultation to understand your needs, then propose a customized support plan. Please reach out and we will be happy to discuss what makes sense for you.
