About Me
italki teacher since Mar 28, 2022
Hi! I'm Saras a dental student born and raised in Bali, Indonesia. But, currently living in Yogyakarta as I'm finishing my study as a young dentist in University of Gadjah Mada. I've always been interested in foreign language and teaching in general. I used to join debating in English when I was in high school, and also informally trained my juniors. Now, I'm teaching basic dental microbiology to my juniors in my faculty in a formal setting. I have so many interests especially in art and language, I love to read literature both Indonesian and English lit, I also love music and movies (I can totally give you great recommendations on Indonesian movies and music!).

Saras is such an amazing teacher! She provides awesome learning resources, and diligently listens to what I'm trying to say so that she can help me express myself in Indonesian naturally and develop good habits from the start. She's a great conversationalist too, so the lessons never feel slow or boring. If you're looking for someone to help you feel confident and comfortable learning Indonesian, she is perfect. Highly recommend!

I am amazed at my personal progress in Indonesian thanks to all of the amazing work by Saras. I feel comfortable speaking, even if it takes me a while to construct my ideas, and have seen massive development in my ability to hear and speak this beautiful language. Saras is incredibly smart and super fun, so I highly recommend her to anyone keen to learn Indonesian!

Saras is an absolute legend! I am able to speak to her in basic sentences, and can understand a lot more of what she is saying to me in Indonesian than I could have hoped! She is smart, always well-prepared, adaptable, friendly and patient. I can't wait for the next lesson!

Saras is amazing. She is incredibly patient, smart and well-prepared. She helps me break down grammatical concepts and ideas until I really understand them, even if I go on a tangent. She is always willing to give me the time I need to put my thoughts together in Indonesian too, and help me improve the quality of my speaking to reach my goals. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn this incredible language!

Great experience! Saras is a wonderful teacher. She explained everything in a super clear way and covered a lot of the essential grammar and words. I learned so much in this first session. Looking forward to the next one.
