I have a degree in communication and a background in journalism and content creation. As a result, I can leverage my skills to teach Indonesian not only for literacy but also how to use the language as a communication tool and to reduce miscommunication. I will give insight on how to use the language like a native speaker, for business purposes, and how to deal with Indonesian culture. I created the material lessons for my students to learn Indonesian easily, and I'll adjust the material based on their skill levels, needs, learning styles, and goals. I will help my students with writing, pronunciation, Indonesian colloquial, and grammar.Me as a Teacher
I am a certified Indonesian teacher to teach Indonesian and create language material for non-native speakers. Since 2013, I have taught Indonesian to many expatriates, university students, foreign journalists, and polyglot students online and face-to-face. I make videos to learn Indonesian for FREE on social media too.

I’ve already completed 50 lessons with Hani, and I look forward to every single session. Her lessons are well-structured and always varied, and she provides great materials to work with. She’s also very attentive to my individual needs. Learning a language this way is truly enjoyable, and I can’t wait to continue our language journey together :).
