Free study apps and Bunpro for Foreign Students in Japan?

Bunpro

I feel like this is a niche question and I’m not sure where to direct it but here! It’s more like two questions though.

I’m an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. I have two students from the Philippines at one of my schools but they are struggling with their tests due to a lower Japanese ability compared to their peers. I spend a lot of my downtime in the office using Bunpro and WaniKani to study and I’ve had my principal ask me a few times about programs those students could use or if Bunpro/WaniKani were free.
I saw that WaniKani has a section for “Japanese Educators” but I was wondering if there was something like that with Bunpro for those in Japan.

Does Bunpro have something for educators?
Does anyone know of free programs that may help in this situation?

Thank you so much for any feedback or insight! I’m so sorry if this is the wrong category.

Depends how much lower than their peers we’re talking about, what’s their reading level?

I got nothing, I just wanted to comment and say it’s very exciting to see another DGM fan on here. Especially another ALT!

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Our mission is to make learning Japanese accessible to as many people as possible. We highly encourage people to reach out to us if their economic circumstances make it tough to afford access to Bunpro. We will work with individuals to either provide discounts or even give people, like those students, access to Bunpro for free.

That I’ll have to find out. As of right now, I’m not sure.

@belomi Aye! Let’s go! Finding other DGM fans and ALTs is like finding your people!

@Jake That is incredibly helpful to know! Is email the best way to go about that?
