Hi, I am Diyan. If you are looking for a Bahasa Indonesia tutor to help you learn Bahasa Indonesia for living in Indonesia, professional business, or even if you just want to know the language and cultures, then I am the one you are looking for!
I am a native speaker of Bahasa Indonesia, born and raised in Indonesia. I currently live in Surabaya. Before living in Surabaya, I used to live in Jakarta for 11 years. I am a 5-year experienced tutor and certified for BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing/Bahasa Indonesia as a second language).Me as a Teacher
I love teaching, learning foreign languages, and anything about culture. Now, I am studying Thai and Chinese Mandarin. As a learner myself, I believe that learning a language is like a marathon. It is a long journey. It needs patience and consistency. Sometimes, it feels lonely and frustrating. That is why, I understand the difficulties of my student when learning a new language. So when I teach my students, I try to be not only a teacher but also a study partner for my students.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is focused on creating an interactive class with a lot of discussion and practice. In the discussion with my students, I try to explain the language as clearly as possible such as: how the word is usually used (formal or informal setting), how to understand the grammar rules, and how Indonesia's culture influences the language.
My class usually starts with a light conversation about any interesting topics and continues with vocabulary drilling, grammar, exercises, and discussion.
I prepare my teaching material and I customize it based on my student learning style and interest.
Generally, my learning material includes PDF files, images, PPTs, audio files, and interactiveMy teaching material

Teacher’s pick
Diyan is a fantastic teacher! She’s so easy to talk to so I always feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as we work through new vocab. The lessons are really fun and she is always prepared. She’s also really flexible which I love, she’s able to tailor the lessons and vocab as we talk so it feels very natural to learn and builds on previous lessons and concepts in an interconnected way.

I would recommend Diyan for beginners and advance students. I may already know how to speak, but I requested a beginner's refresher course, which she is very good at helping at setting the foundation for your bahasa Indonesia needs.
