Quick Links
AsPersona 4 Goldenplayers progress through the main story, they’ll unlock more things to do around Inaba. One of these includes finding a part-time job for the protagonist. There are seven to choose from, but only three of them are needed for Social Links. The tutoring job will take up the protagonist’s evening, but it’s howP4Gplayers can start the Tower Social Link.
Shu Nakajima is a middle school student and serves as the Tower Social Link inPersona 4 Golden. Unfortunately, his Social Link also has a difficult requirement. Players also may have noticed that the part-time tutoring job is only accessible in the evening, and at the start ofP4G, it won’t be possible to go out at night. Since the availability/time of Shu’s Social Link is shared with the Dojimas, Adachi, and Sayoko (ie: evening-only), players will need to use their free time wisely.

Where to Find Shu
The protagonist can pick up a part-time job at the bulletin board near theAiya RestaurantinNorth Shopping District. Players can start the part-time tutoring job as early asMay 25thon a NG+. If this is a brand new playthrough, then there’s no way players will havelevel 5 Understandingto start the Social Link. Players can build up their Understanding by doingthe Origami Crane part-time jobor the Daycare job (available on 4/23) whichalsorequires Understanding to start.
It’s very likely that players won’t be able to start the Tower Social Link until they’re at the midway pointon a first playthrough. As long as they’re being consistent with their Social Stats, of course. Once the protagonist can start the Tower Social Link, it’shighly recommendedthat he has a Persona of the Tower Arcana in his party. Having a Persona with a matching Arcana will add an extra point to “correct” responses during the Social Link.
Persona 4 Goldenplayers can do the part-time tutoring job onTuesday, Thursday,andSaturday nightsby interacting with the bus stop in theSouthShopping District,directly across from the gas station. For doing the tutoring job, the protagonist will earn 10000 yen and a point towards Expression every visit.
If players are having a hard time getting Social Link points in between visits, they should go toTatsuhime Shrineand draw a Fortune for Shu. Drawing Fortunes at the Shrine will waste free time.

Rank 1
Once players havelevel 5 Understanding, they can take the bus stop across from the gas station in theSouth Shopping Districtto start the tutoring job. As the first rank, the responses here won’t have as much weight (ie: gain points) as they will in later ranks. However, choosing any of the three responses in the second “question” will add a point towards one of the protagonist’s Knowledge and one otherSocial Stat depending on the subject.
