About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2014InterestsFoodBusiness & FinanceHistoryTravelFilms & TV Series
social platform : @learnbahasa.Indonesia
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
As a teacher to non-native speakers, I am qualified to develop tailored syllabi and lesson materials. 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 am into my second package of lessons with Guru Hani Calista, and all lessons have been well-planned and contain a good mix of grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening and reading. I have been very impressed with the high quality of lesson materials so far, which has helped me learn a lot more and gain more confidence in speaking!

Hani was extremely intelligent and quickly assessed what I needed to learn. It's clear she has a lot of experience teaching. She got to the core of what I needed to learn quickly and always stopped and made sure I understood, which I really appreciated. Absolutely fantastic teacher!
