I'm very happy having Lisa as my teacher. Dia guru yang sabar, banyak senyum, banyak pengalaman, and she's a giver! Her personality makes her perfect to be a good teacher. Kami bersyukur punya guru seperti kamu, Guru Lisa!

I have learnt Bahasa Indo with 7 teachers and Guru Lisa is the best teacher I have had. Guru Lisa has great teaching methodology. She speaks to me in Bahasa 80% of the time at a level I can understand. We practice a lot in our lessons and I was able to learn good expressions that my Indonesian friends commended me on. One even asked if I grew up in Indo! After my lessons with her, my latest trip to Indonesia was much different than before. I could converse much better and recognize more words on road signs (by learning imbuhan), especially with all the political campaign posters. I brought my parents around, spoke to the receptionists, drivers, and servers confidently from all the practice. Drivers in JKT are curious and friendly when they hear a foreigner speaking Indo, so I was happy to be able to chat with them in Bahasa. Guru Lisa is also very hardworking. She is always early for lessons, takes notes in class and cleans them up to share later so I can focus on understanding.

Studying with her every day is not only improving my Indonesian language skills but also really fun✨️✨️ Terima kasih bantu saya belajar bahasa Indonesia❤️
