About the tutor

Hello everyone! I am a native Indonesian speaker from Surabaya. I have been teaching professionally for more than 10 years. I have already taught Indonesian for more than hundred students both online and in class. Many of my students start from very beginner level or almost zero and I help them improve their Indonesian and now they can speak well.


I am also a language enthusiast who loves reading, traveling, and watching movies. My experience in teaching many backgrounds (from kids to adults) is one of my strengths, therefore, I am able to create effective and innovative materials for my prospective students. For beginners, we can start to build your vocabularies, construct sentences, and have a trivial conversation about daily lives. For intermediate and advanced students we can have informal conversations and speak like natives!


I have years of experience in teaching Indonesian to expatriates and foreign students. I speak B1 French, and currently, I am learning German, thus, I know the challenges of learning new languages which are totally different from our mother tongue. For me, learning a language is not only about grammar and structure but also about its culture. Immersing yourself in Indonesian culture and its context will help you understand more about this language.


Learning language should be fun! I will accommodate your preferences in learning based on your requests. I use many tools from textbook, video files, flashcards, games, articles/news, and/or assign you with homework if you want to. Let's learn and have fun together! if you cannot find any available schedule for you, please let me know!
