Special Intensive Course on Creative Writing
On August 1st, 2026, the renowned Yusuke Kawai will host a special intensive course on creative writing and submission materials for the Keio SFC and Law School entrance exams in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This exclusive session is a pivotal opportunity for students seeking to enhance their application materials with expert guidance. The course will cover essential aspects of crafting compelling narratives and organizing various submission requirements to make a lasting impression on the admissions committee.
Background of the Course
In 2025, Kawai developed and led a series of highly successful workshops at a prestigious AO-focused preparatory school, where all sessions were fully booked. Feedback from former students highlighted the transformative effect of his teaching on their application processes. Building on this success, Kawai aims to replicate this experience through his new venture, the Alternative Academy®.
What to Expect
This four-hour course is designed for a limited group of fifteen participants to ensure personalized attention. The session will include:
- - Guided Analysis: Participants will explore the objectives behind the creative writing prompts and how to effectively convey their messages.
- - Practical Exercises: Utilizing fictional case studies, students will learn how to express their personal achievements and other materials compellingly.
- - Concept Design: Attendees will gain insights into the design aspects of presentation materials, including readability and visual appeal.
- - Feedback Session: Kawai will provide individual feedback, allowing students to refine their materials based on professional insights.
Previous Success Stories
Students who attended previous sessions expressed significant breakthroughs in their application strategies. One student, D.Y., who successfully gained admission to Keio SFC, stated, "The course on creative writing was exceptional. I learned design principles and structuring, which greatly helped me in my application." This trend demonstrates the positive impact of Kawai's teaching methods on applicants.
In response to the lack of available courses since Kawai’s departure from the previous academy in March 2026, this initiative was created to fill that gap and provide aspiring students with the necessary tools and knowledge.
