If you are learning Indonesian, Yutman is the teacher to go. He combines a deep knowledge of the structure of the language, the ability to explain complex things in a simple way and the ability to encourage you to have conversation despite your shortcomings. In short: everything that a language teacher should have. Highly recommended.

Yutmen is an exceptional teacher. His lessons are well structured with a mix of reading and writing, along with free conversation practice. But most importantly, his lessons are always fantastic fun! We always have lots of laughs during class and come away enthusiastic about what we've learnt.

A true hero!

I have been taking lessons in Indonesian from Yutmen Soru for almost two years now. For me, his willingness to adapt his teaching methods to my particular needs as an advanced student of the language is a particular plus point. His explanations are clear and concise, and based on a thorough understanding of his subject. He is also quick to explain subtle differences in word use and meanings. But what really makes the lessons enjoyable is his friendly demeanor, even when he is pointing out the grammatical flaws in the Indonesian language essays that I submit regularly. I also get plenty of enjoyable practice in advanced conversation. Yutmen is a serious and committed teacher whose affable personality succeeds in making even the most obscure aspects of the language seem interesting and full of life. Highly recommended!!

It was an overall wholesome experience to study with Yutmen.

I’ve booked 100+ Bahasa Indonesia lessons with Pak Yutmen over more than 3 years because the best teacher I’ve found online. His English is excellent, he’s professionally trained and he’s great at explaining concepts. He’s patient and flexible but also pushes the language level so I’m always learning more.
